Brazilian Jiu jitsu is notoriously hard on joints because many of the attacks involve forceful joint locks. It is not surprising that many black belts will have injuries that lead to the development of dysfunctional joints.

@jamesdriskill, @ricksongraciejj black belt, realized after years of jiu jitsu training he needed to address his mobility deficits to minimize his injuries. We determined his mid thoracic limitation was his primary deficit.

Here I use a FRC concept called hinge training to improve his active thoracic segmentation. He has structural limitations that need to be addressed but I wanted to give him some homework before he headed back north. Good thing he is in close to proximity to @deweynielsen and @bryanmarugg to continue his mobility work.
