Improving the range of motion in your spine will help with back pain and reduce the risk of back injury.

This sequence take a comprehensive approach to improving not only the mobility in your thoracic and lumbar spine, but the additional hip mobility exercise will help decrease hip tightness and pain allowing for overall improvement in guard retention.

This is a favorite active warm up that I do prior to training to get my body warmed up.

These techniques are simple ways to use a Lacrosse ball to decrease tension and pain in the foot.

The basic techniques in the video include trigger point release by putting steady pressure onto a tender spot on the foot, rolling the ball under the foot, and pinning the ball and then stretching the area by moving the toes.

Try one or all and see what works best. These are useful techniques to be used before training as a warm up or after training as a cool down.

Whether you are going for a takedown, defending a takedown, passing the guard, or even when exploding to a new position, the feet are integral in being effective in all of these tasks.

In this video I share a multi-faceted approach on how to deal with foot pain.

1. The video demonstrates a way to stretch and reduce tension in the plantar fascia (the tissue under the foot).

2. Mobilize and improve range of motion in the ankle joint.

3. How to stretch the calf muscles.

This is a solid warm-up (shorter hold times and more dynamic stretching) or a great cool down to decrease tightness, pain, and stiffness after a tough training session (longer stretches and hold times).

This is the introduction to our newest rehab program – FAI or hip impingement rehab. This condition usually comes with restriction in hip movement, particularly in flexion and rotation of the hip. It can also be pretty painful.

Rosi Sexton, our licensed osteopath recently filmed a 5 video rehab plan to slowly enhance your range of motion. You will gently stretch and foam roll the muscles surrounding the hip joint. You’ll also strengthen those muscles greatly, which will help your hips even if you aren’t dealing with hip impingement.

Access the whole rehab plan on https://www.yogaforbjj.net/hip-impingement-rehab-program/

Not a member? You can access it for free with the 14-day free trial by default – https://www.yogaforbjj.net/start-for-free

– Train smart – Fight Forever.

Tight hips and adductors (groin muscles) can limit and hinder your ability to use your legs effectively to regain guard and also make your guard easier to pass due to the limited range of motion.

This sequence is great as it allows for a different and multi-directional stretch that is effective and very useful.

Start in a wide and comfortable stance, walk the hands forward in front of the body and then back towards the legs. Then walk the hands side to side and find the restrictions in your flexibility and hip mobility.

Hold the stretches for 5-15 seconds if warming up and hold for longer time periods of cooling down after exercise.

Perform the exercises for 2 minutes (or longer if you are doing a cool down).

This is one of my absolute favorite sequences for warming up my arms, shoulders, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and the legs. Its quick, easy, and useful.

One of the keys to this warm up is the weight-bearing component of this sequence. You are getting into a quadruped position (on all fours) and loading (applying pressure to) the shoulders and legs. This loading stimulates the muscles to fire and activate to maintain your body off the mat which in turn gets the muscles working and the blood flowing in those joints and muscles.

You start slowly and gradually increase range of motion in both the “upward dog” and “downward dog” positions which will warm up and dynamically stretch the muscles.

Perform this for repetitions or time. I like to do about 10 repetitions for 5-10 second holds or 1-2 minutes.

A nice addition is to pump the ankles in order to stretch the calves when in the “downward dog” position.

Pain in the front of your hip can cause significant difficulty with Jiu-Jitsu and especially with playing guard or retaining guard. This technique requires only your belt to get a very effective and useful stretch to improve your hip range of motion, decrease pain, and get you back to training.
