Tightness and stiffness in the ankles can be a significant limitation in your squatting mechanics and specifically squatting depth, it can effect your ability to sit back and maintain proper posture when in your opponent’s closed-guard, and also be a factor in how well you can use your feet as “hooks” to control your opponent during training.

Having a thorough and complete approach will check the boxes to ensure that you address the tight muscles, improve joint mobility in the ankle, and also begin the process of maintaining your new ankle mobility by activating the muscles and strengthening in your newly obtained range of motion.

Hip tightness and pinching in the hip joint can be a limiting factor in movements such as squatting or when getting into specific jiu-jitsu positions as well.

I started using the “Bear Crawl” position with a band to address this issue. This technique is great because it addresses the hip joint on multiple levels.

First the joint moves through its available range actively, then the mobilization band is used to focus on the hip capsule addressing the “joint glide,” as well as to create additional space in the hip joint to give clearance from the tissue pinching up into the capsule, and third the muscles surrounding the hip are activated allowing the muscles to fire and wake up which provides for a more complete and thorough technique that actually works well and quickly.

Here is a link to some monster bands that work pretty well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAPYKRG/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=jiujitsupt-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=c65b1520d9eaf4232acf670de775d708&creativeASIN=B00NAPYKRG
