I recently got the chance to speak to Echo Charles on The Chewjitsu Podcast, and had asked him about time-management.

He provided with some really important ideas that I implemented right away and have been very useful.

This morning 1 of my White Belts was coming back from an injury and had a question for me. Here’s what happened.

​He was doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and then added weight training on top of it. He was enjoying clanging and banging so he cranked it up to 5 days of heavy lifting a week. Soon after he ran into some nasty tendinitis in his arms and had to take a couple of weeks off from training all together.

​No BJJ or weight training.

​Now that he’s healthy again he wants to add lifting back in. But he asked yours bearded for a wee bit-O-guidance. And so I’ll share with you what I shared with him.

​The big mistake he made was by not focusing one 1 of the MOST important parts of training.

​The routine!

​See, he went hard. But lifting (like BJJ) only blesses you with its benefits after a long period of consistency. And so when you add in lifting you need to set a schedule and then eaaaasssseee into the intensity over a period of time. This gives your bucket of bones time to acclimate and gives you time to set a routine.

​1 of the keys to surviving for the long haul in BJJ, the weight room, your diet. . . anything that’s worthwhile really. Is long term consistency.

And a routine that’s been executed to the point of making it habitual is the often-ignored backbone of that.

So hopefully that’s helpful to you.

Recently I had a bunch of people ask about my warm up routine before BJJ competitions. This came about after some videos where I mentioned having a good warm up before matches is probably 1 of the most important things for performance that you can do on the day of the competition.

In this video I’ll give you a general idea of what I do the day of competitions from the moment I arrive to the venue to the moments in between matches.

Now there are lots of ways to warm up for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions. This is my way of doing it. If you plan on competing, try some of the ideas out and see which ones work for you.

The video is a little longer, but I wanted it to be as useful as possible for someone getting ready for a Jiu-jitsu competition or match.

Anyways, I hope the video is helpful to you in your next BJJ competition and thanks for watching.
