Better Hip Mobility for BJJ

Were you led to believe that training BJJ means you’ll always be in pain?

That the more sore you are after a workout, the more effective it was?

Or that you can’t get stronger or more mobile without sacrificing too much mat time?

You’re not the only one. These damaging ideas have been floating around for decades, accepted as common sense. They keep us running ourselves into the ground only to end up stuck, exhausted, and not reaching our full potential. They keep us working way harder than we have to to end up right back where we started: unsatisfied with our progress and still losing matches.

But we know better now. All of that is total bullsh*t.

It IS possible to get stronger and more mobile than ever and heal those old injuries without giving up valuable time training BJJ. And it’s possible to do this with only two sessions per week. Sessions that WON’T leave you too sore to sit on the toilet for the next 3 days.

I know because I’ve done this for myself and shown hundreds of others how to successfully do the same.

If you’re going to spend time away from the mats, you better make sure it’s time well spent.

Better Guard Retention
Would Mikey Musumeci or the Miyao brothers be as good at playing guard if it weren't for their incredible mobility? Who knows.. but you can't move where you can't move if you catch my drift. Better mobility = Better BJJ.

Spend More Time on the Mats
The name of the game is *literally* to break joints. Getting stronger and more mobile at end ranges ensures you're less likely to get injured as you train harder. Better mobility = More BJJ.
