Injury Prevention

This program features an efficient 3 days a week to allow for a decrease in training volume for decreased injury risk and more energy on the mat. The best defense is durability.

Build Strength and Power

Strength is one of the most important attributes for injury prevention — and for making your technique hold up against anyone, not just the scrawny guys.

Building athleticism

One of the key features in this program is the use of jumping and running drills to develop coordination, power, and athleticism.

Train with confidence

Programmed by a grappler and Doctor of Physical Therapy, EAST means you can turn your brain off and trust the process

Hard to break. Built to last.

EAST isn’t just about getting stronger — it’s about becoming the athlete who’s hard to wear down, hard to break, and built to last. Unlock progress that carries from the weight room to the mat, pushing you closer to the athlete you know you can be.

FAQs

Do I need to be an experienced lifter to join?

Nope. EAST is designed for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned lifters. All movements come with clear video instruction, so you can start building strength safely and confidently.

How often should I train with EAST?

EAST is built for 3 sessions per week — enough to get strong, durable, and faster on the mat without overloading your schedule.

Will this make me bulky or slow on the mat?

Not unless that’s your goal. EAST focuses on functional strength, durability, and performance — so you’ll move faster, recover better, and roll harder without unnecessary bulk. We can help you get yacked if you want, though.

Is EAST suitable if I’m recovering from injury?

Absolutely — the program is scalable and adaptable. If you want extra guidance, upgrading to CUSTOM or ELITE gives you programming and coaching that’s tailored to your needs.

Can I do EAST alongside my regular BJJ/jiu jitsu classes?

Yeah bro, that’s exactly why we made it. EAST complements your mat work, improving strength, resilience, and recovery so you can roll smarter and harder.

How long until I see results?

You’ll start feeling improvements in strength, stability, and movement within the first few weeks, with long-term performance and durability compounding as you stick with the program.
