How To Use Less Strength During BJJ Rolling & Be More Technical

Gary Berger — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 23:05:13 +0000

Today’s video is a question that every bigger, stronger person will “grapple” with in BJJ.

How to not use so much strength in BJJ!

So 1st off I don’t think the goal is to not use strength. . . or that it’s even possible. We are all going to use a little strength. The key is to use it at the right time, in the right way, and be efficient with.

In today’s video I share a simple process I implemented during my BJJ training, as a bigger guy, to be more efficient with my use of strength. And while this idea applies to bigger stronger people you could easily apply it to almost any area of focus in BJJ.

Hope the video helps if you had a similar question.

Thanks for watching!

The Worst BJJ Advice to give to Strong People

Gary Berger — Mon, 23 May 2022 19:00:06 +0000

Don’t Use Your Strength! This is something all of us big strong people hear in BJJ from day 1. And in my bearded opinion it’s some of the WORST advice in BJJ, as I’ll explain in the video.

Now, I’m sure if you train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and are a bit smaller, and have had the pleasure of rolling with a 200lbs+ spazzy person, you may be resistant to this idea. But stick with me in the video and I’ll explain why this advice in BJJ leads to poor performances and more injuries.

After watching the video you’re welcome to leave your comments below.

8 Tips To A Quicker Recovery From Rib Injuries

Gary Berger — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 17:30:01 +0000

Rib injuries are some of the most difficult types of injuries to treat.
They hinder pretty much every aspect of movement and have a tendency to get re-injured easily and also tend to linger due to frequent re-injury.

Here are my 8 tips that will help speed up your recovery and get you back on the mats and back to normal life safely and with less risk of re-injury.

Here are some of the links to videos referenced:

This Happens When The BJJ Myth meets The Reality of Rolling

Gary Berger — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 20:49:34 +0000

Today’s BJJ question comes from a young jacked guy who said he’s doing really well but experiencing a problem. That problem being that some of the guys he’s beating make excuses about his strength.

This is a common problem in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu where people have been conditioned to believe that technique is all that matters. And then when they run into a strong or athletic person they realize it’s not the case. That strength and athleticism plays a huge role.

In the video I answer his question and address why his more experienced teammates are so frustrated. And why it’s more to do with the person than it is with him.

If you’re in a similar situation with your training partner then I hope this video helps!

Bulletproof Your Ribs (For BJJ)

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 19:02:42 +0000

Rib injuries are one of the toughest and most difficult injuries to recover from.

The ribs are effected by and also impact so many other areas of the body and the lack of mobility and strength in this area can really limit performance and can lead to future injuries.

In this video, I take you through one of my favorite and in my opinion an extremely beneficial and effective exercise sequence to help with improving movement and strength.

This is a solid technique for a warm-up exercise or a rehab technique.

2-3 sets of 10 repetitions

Taping For Ankle Swelling

Gary Berger — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 20:30:00 +0000

In this video, I demonstrate the use of Kinesiotape (stretchy tape) for swelling control.

I recently sprained my ankle and had some associated swelling with the injury.

I used this taping technique to assist with promoting swelling reduction.

Its a really simple and in most cases an effective technique to help with the recovery process.

Recover Faster Between Rounds By Doing This

Gary Berger — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 20:08:30 +0000

In this video I go over an article that discusses different postures for recovery.

The article compares recovering from High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T) with using a hands on the head posture (as most of us have traditionally performed) versus a hands on the knees posture.

I break down which posture seems to provide for better recovery (specifically heart rate recovery), why heart rate recovery is an important indicator of your fitness, and what I recommend you do to improve your recovery between rounds.
