If you have been doing BJJ from any amount of time, you probably have got hurt. But the traditional approach of S&C for Jiu Jitsu made of bodyweight and circuit training, won't help you to overcome your opponents on the mats or staying injury free. That's the reason why MAT-ARMOUR focused on:
INJURY PREVENTION: Prehab exercises target common BJJ weaknesses, keeping you off the sidelines. Movement quality drills refine your technique, minimizing injury risk through proper form.
EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH AND POWER: Compound lifts build raw strength in muscles used for takedowns, throws, and subs. Olympic weightlifting variations for agility, coordination, and power output.
PLYOMETRICS: Plyo exercises develop explosive power for lightning-fast escapes and dominant takedowns. Jumps, bounds, and medicine ball throws sharpen your movement speed, turning every opportunity into an advantage.
This template is designed for ALL the BJJ enthusiasts. From the beginner to the seasoned competitor, it can be adapted to your skill level and goals. If you don't want to get hurt, gas out on a tournament or being crushed by heavier opponents, you have to prepare NOW.
