Try these cooldown stretches next time you finish jiu-jitsu. Cooling down is so important after BJJ to stop you feeling tired and sore the next day. These stretches will help you after training and they are a great way to end a tough session.

The way that the body moves and functions is both complex and unique.

The Joint-By-Joint Approach is a concept founded by Physical Therapist Gray Cook, which expresses the idea that each joint of the body tends to have a specific function focused either on mobility or stability, and the joints stack in an alternating pattern.

Mobility is the ability of a joint to move freely, while stability is the ability of a joint to maintain or return to proper alignment. And these joints working properly is vital to the body functioning optimally.

For example: if a mobile joint becomes stiff, then it can lead to a stable joint becoming more mobile, and can lead to instability and even injury.

The video explains this concept in more detail and with some ideas that can be applied right away.

Try these stretches if you are looking to increase mobility and flexibility within your guard in BJJ. Lay on your back and try some of these movements and stretches before or after class. This is a great solo drill that can help get you used to the movements we do when in guard too. Play around using your BJJ belt and find some tight areas too.
Great for opening your guard and playing a more flexible jiu-jitsu game.

I got a question about the Rubber Guard and specifically if there is any danger to the knees when hugging the knee as well as holding at the ankle to secure the position.

I reached out to 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Brandon Mccaghren to break down the position, any safety concerns when utilizing the Rubber Guard, how to apply the technique properly, is there ever a reason to grab the ankle without holding the knee, the importance of following the opponent, the two styles of rubber guard, and much more.

This movement drill combines the basic sit-through with a “Table Top” position.
The “Table Top” position is a great way to counter-balance the effects of BJJ.

It allows the muscle and joints to open up and place emphasis on the muscles that work opposite of the constantly tight and engaged muscles in BJJ.

This movement drill is important to promote good function and health throughout the body and joints with working towards full range of motion.

If you have tight shoulders from BJJ or just from prolonged sitting, then this technique will be very useful. It also can be slightly modified to work on stretching tight hamstrings.
