Cut the Guesswork
I’m a Father of three, work full-time, and train Jiu Jitsu, so I get how limited time really is. Once we have a base schedule organised, we ask about your Jiu Jitsu training, work, and life . We then can build around your actual routine. You’ll receive 2–5 workouts per week through the app , including strength, mobility, and recovery work. We focus on 2 BASE Strength sessions per week

How long does the program run for?

Tracking Eliminates Plateus
When people don’t track their training, they often walk into the gym, lift whatever feels right, and repeat the same weights week after week. It might feel productive, but the body has no reason to adapt therefore progress stalls.

FAQs
Can I adjust the training Schedule?
The program itself follows a set structure and isn’t customisable. That said, if you miss a session you can complete it later at a time that works best for you.
How often is the Program Updated?
The program is updated every 4 weeks. While frequent changes aren’t required to make progress, regular updates help keep training engaging and improve long-term consistency. Changes are subtle, such as small exercise variations, adjustments to reps or sets, or tempo, rather than major overhauls.
How do I continue using the App after this Program?
Once your 12 weeks is over I will be in touch via the messaging tool to Invite you to join the Jiujitero Team.
What is Superset?
You’ll complete the first exercise, rest for 30 seconds, then move straight into the second exercise. After that, rest for the prescribed time (usually 1–4 minutes) before repeating. Example: Squat – 3 × 5 Rest 30 sec Static Lunge – 3 × 10 Rest 2–3 min Repeat for 3 rounds
