There’s no doubt you need to work on your skills if you’re a grappler. But unlike sports that rely on steady, predictable movements, Jiu-Jitsu requires explosive bursts of energy, rapid transitions, and sustained physical exertion during high-intensity scrambles. The energetic demands of grappling are intense and varied, often pushing athletes to their limits in a short amount of time.

To truly enhance endurance and performance in Jiu-Jitsu, athletes need a targeted conditioning approach that mirrors the sport’s high-intensity demands-ensuring they have the stamina, strength, and resilience to dominate every roll.

All this being said, if you can gain an understanding of these things, you’ll be on your way to becoming a dominant athlete.

But if you're looking for a quick fix or a magic drill, I'll be upfront with you – it doesn't exist.

True fight endurance mastery comes from a deep understanding and rigorous training of your body's energy systems:

-Aerobic System for long-lasting energy

-Anaerobic Lactic System for intense, sustained efforts

-Anaerobic Alactic System for short, explosive actions

Yes, it's a layered approach, and it might seem daunting at first.

But here's the good news: I've distilled all this complex information into an easy-to-follow program, designed specifically for grapplers like you.

MAT-TANK is your comprehensive guide to improving your fight endurance.

RECOVER FASTER, BETTER
Having good cardio improves your body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles, speeds up the removal of waste products like lactic acid, and reduces fatigue. This enhanced circulation not only helps you recover faster between rounds but also minimizes muscle soreness and reduces the risk of injury, allowing you to train harder and more consistently.

NO MORE BORING-LONG ROADWORK
Relying on long, steady-state cardio fails to replicate the real challenges faced on the mat. In other words, as a grappler who relies on fast twitch fibers to submit opponents, slow aerobic cardio is counter productive. These methods can lead to wasted time and effort, as they don't adequately prepare the body for the anaerobic bursts and recovery periods essential in Jiu-Jitsu.
