Focusing on a solid warm-up can pay huge dividends to improving your mobility and performance in grappling. Using a wall as a tool to assist with mobility is a great way work on this as well.

Here is a quick sequence that I do as part of my warm-up before BJJ class to get my body ready to train.

To have a healthy spine, you must have every joint move adequately and properly.
For example, if you have a spinal segment that is stiff, then it can result in compensation or even instability at another segment of the spine. So this is the importance of having each segment of the spine move properly.

If you find a segment of the spine that is stiff, you can use a band to provide feedback and bring attention to that area to assist with mobilization of the segment.

You can also perform this technique on various segment to assist with mobility.

I would recommend 5 reps for 5 second holds with 1-2 sets per area.

The Segmental Cat-Cow exercise is a slight, but very useful variation on the traditional exercise. We utilize the segmental approach to address each joint in the spine.

The idea is to focus on proper movement through each joint of the spine to allow for a more complete movement and ensure that each segment is moving adequately to limit compensation at other areas and to promote spinal health.

Great as a warm-up and a cool-down sequence. A go-to movement for me and should be one that you utilize as well.
