What you do off the mat matters just as much as what you do on it.
This program is built on years of hands-on work with the Standard Jiu Jitsu team and other high-level grapplers. It’s not another duct-taped strength and conditioning plan that throws a gi on pull-ups or mimics takedowns with resistance bands.
Instead, it’s a comprehensive approach to grappling preparation—one that develops strength, endurance, and durability while respecting the intense demands of skill training on the mat.
This program isn’t designed to test your mettle or prove how tough you are. It’s designed to keep you healthy, resilient, and capable of training consistently, with enough energy left to actually perform well while you’re there.
If you’re a jiu jitsu athlete looking for a systematic, thoughtful approach to strength and conditioning—one that supports long-term progress instead of burning you out—you’re in the right place.
