It has helped with my guard retention as well which has been an added bonus!

Getting into the 90-90 position is very important as it is a great way to work on hip mobility necessary for general mobility and getting into certain guard positions in BJJ.

I discovered that using a wall can be both a great way to isolate the hips and limit compensation. Using these techniques as part of a cool down or accessory mobility work is crucial in providing the necessary hip motion thats needed in guard retention in BJJ.

Also, the more mobility in the hips, the better the positioning of the legs and the less stress on the knees. Better hip position equals less stress and injury to the knees.

Give this a try while performing all of the movements to comfort.

Holding 5-10 seconds per movement into external and internal hip rotations at 5 repetitions and then alternating positions and performing the other side. 2-3 sets total.

Improving the range of motion in your spine will help with back pain and reduce the risk of back injury.

This sequence take a comprehensive approach to improving not only the mobility in your thoracic and lumbar spine, but the additional hip mobility exercise will help decrease hip tightness and pain allowing for overall improvement in guard retention.

This is a favorite active warm up that I do prior to training to get my body warmed up.

This is one of my absolute favorite sequences for warming up my arms, shoulders, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and the legs. Its quick, easy, and useful.

One of the keys to this warm up is the weight-bearing component of this sequence. You are getting into a quadruped position (on all fours) and loading (applying pressure to) the shoulders and legs. This loading stimulates the muscles to fire and activate to maintain your body off the mat which in turn gets the muscles working and the blood flowing in those joints and muscles.

You start slowly and gradually increase range of motion in both the “upward dog” and “downward dog” positions which will warm up and dynamically stretch the muscles.

Perform this for repetitions or time. I like to do about 10 repetitions for 5-10 second holds or 1-2 minutes.

A nice addition is to pump the ankles in order to stretch the calves when in the “downward dog” position.
