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).

Depending on the energy of the top opponent, hand configuration and pressure, each of these are really useful escapes from knee-on-belly. I have shown some of these before in videos for escaping bottom side positions, but wanted to make a video dedicated just to these and include some extra details. Hope the help.

Thank you all for watching!

The hip flexors are a muscle group that can get overworked and can be notoriously tight and painful in jiu-jitsu practitioners and in anyone that sits a lot throughout the day.

There are numerous ways to stretch the hip flexors, and this technique uses the extension of the hip by using the foam roller to stretch the hip flexor instead of the traditional lunge technique where the leg is stationary and the body lunges forward.

This is just a different way to elicit a stretch than the traditional means of stretching the hip flexor. This technique also requires increased control of the hip and leg to provide a comfortable and appropriate stretch.

I’m always trying to learn and explore new ways to get the most out of my body and to help preserve the body to allow for high level function and performance.
