This stretch is a great 2 for 1 technique. You are addressing the tightness in the hips by stretching the piriformis muscle which will help with securing a tighter triangle choke and also incorporate a quick and dynamic hamstring stretch.

You are addressing multiple problem area with on easy sequence. You can use this as both a warm up or an after training cool down. The only difference is adjusting your hold times.

Here are my suggestions: Warm-Up: 5-10 reps of 5-10 second holds or Cool-Down: 3-5 reps of 30-60 second holds.

This one tip will make your recovery more effective and reduce tight muscles as well as stiff joint.

The key is to perform your recovery work within 15 minutes or less after you have completed your work out. The reason is simple, the muscles are still warm and more easily stretched out and moved.

Doing this will keep the muscle from getting so tight and will make your recovery more comfortable and more effective.

Is foam rolling good for recovery?

In my opinion, yes.

But foam rolling works differently than you think.

Foam rolling is effective on a neurological level where the pressure on your muscles gives your brain feedback to release the restricted area.

There is also a component of bringing blood flow to the area you are foam rolling, With blood flow you get oxygen and nutrition to your muscle which will essentiallly assist with recovery.

Most people agree that foam rolling is a better technique for after activity as a recovery tool. I personally have found benefit to foam rolling before and after BJJ or training as I feel the aspect of increased blood flow helps my muscles get warmed up and also the neurological component of foam rolling helps with the recovery and keeping my muscles from getting as tight after training.

Try it out and see what works for you, but keep in mind that foam rolling is a useful tool in addition to a complete recovery program.

Muscle imbalances occur not only in BJJ, but from life in general. Most of the things that we do throughout the day places us in a forward head and rounded shoulders posture as well as a bent trunk along with bent knees and hips.

A great way to think about muscle symmetry is to stretch the areas that are tight (neck muscles, pec, front of the hips, and hamstrings), while strengthening the areas that may not be activated as much (back of the shoulders and shoulder blade musculature, glutes, and outer hips).

These are just general guidelines and just because muscle are tight does not mean they are strong and vice versa, muscles that are stretched/loose are not necessarily weak, but these are just general guidelines so take this information with the idea that there are variables and not absolutes when discussing posture and muscle symmetry.

Here are a few of the videos I recommend but there are plenty on my page and other pages so feel free to explore and see what works!
Also, check out my e-Book for healthy shoulders, which is a good place to get some solid stretches and strengthening exercises as well!

Using a monster band has been one of the best tools to keep my hips healthy, mobile, as well as pain-free.
This lateral banded hip mobilization has been a very effective and useful tool to improve my jiu-jitsu. If you are grappling against an aggressive guard passer, you know that the hips are crucial for retaining your guard and also getting into positions such as butterfly guard or even rubber guard to get on the attack. This technique has been so improtant to my hip health as well as my jiu-jitsu. Not to mention, having mobile hips reduces back pain and the risk of knee injury. A go-to technique for any BJJ player.

This series of stretches are some of my go-to exercises for improving neck pain, decreasing neck tension, and improving neck mobility. As we train Jiu-Jitsu, we constantly engage our muscles that allow for shrugging of the shoulders to fight off chokes and submissions.
Also everyday sitting tasks such as working on the computer can cause major postural dysfunction. This series of stretches are some of the absolute best and most effective to stretch the neck muscles, reduce pain, improve range of motion, and keep your neck healthy for BJJ.
