A great all around hip strengthening exercise for muscle activation of the hips, to assist with balance, and to protect the knees from injury.

Pain or difficulty with bringing the knee to the chest when performing guard retention or with general movement of the hip? This technique will not only improve motion but will decrease tension in the hip flexors as well as reduce pain.
Use the voodoo band and perform a functional movement and strengthening exercises such as a squat to “trick” the hip into flexion without activating the hip flexor muscles so that way you will not increase your pain. The voodoo band is a great option as it can get into areas such as high into the hip joint more easily. Give it a try!

In the 5th video of the Toe Rehab series, I demonstrate the transition to balance, strengthening, and plyometric exercises. Although these drills are not specific to BJJ, they are a good initial step prior to full grappling. As always, let pain be your guide and discontinue if there is any increase in symptoms. This is 1 week out, the severity of your injury will dictate when or if you should start these exercises. Seeing a medical professional is always a good idea if you are having intense pain, lack of improvement in symptoms, or are just concerned about your injury.

Injuring the big toe can be a serious hinderance to your BJJ. It can effect your movement, explosiveness, and limit your ability to perform at a high level. Injuring my big toe a month prior to my tournament was a major concern as at limited my ability to drill and perform cardio.
I go through the injury, what to do in the first 24-48 hours, and how to recover from the injury as quickly as possible to get you back to training at full capacity.

This series of stretches are some of my go-to exercises for improving neck pain, decreasing neck tension, and improving neck mobility. As we train Jiu-Jitsu, we constantly engage our muscles that allow for shrugging of the shoulders to fight off chokes and submissions.
Also everyday sitting tasks such as working on the computer can cause major postural dysfunction. This series of stretches are some of the absolute best and most effective to stretch the neck muscles, reduce pain, improve range of motion, and keep your neck healthy for BJJ.

If you arrive late to BJJ class and want to get warmed up quickly, then flow rolling is a great technique to try.
Its a useful way to get your body and mind tuned in and ready for BJJ. Building muscle memory, getting your tissue warmed up, and also going at a slower pace will open up and show you new things that you may have missed during a regular rolling session.
As always, listen to your body to ensure you are properly warmed up and choose a training partner who you are comfortable with.

Want a simple grip tweak to make your Keylock better? The trick I show in this video is great for making the Keylock in BJJ tighter.

This is one I show to my White Belts in my BJJ classes because it’s a mistake I made all the time when I used the Americana in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

I would get excited and not secure the position to finish the submission effectively. I had several tournaments as a BJJ White Belt where I had this locked up and then would lose it to poor finishing technique.

My students have really enjoyed this tweak and experienced a lot of success with them during rolling and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition.

Thanks! Hope it helps.
