Today’s question comes from John, who says he’s having trouble doing the traditional Wrestling shot when he’s training at his BJJ gym.

He says what happens when he attempts a shot is that he essentially cannot get through the full range of motion without slamming his knee on the mats.

Obviously, this is a super painful thing, but he wants to get better at Wrestling, and he’s wondering if I’ve got any ideas on how to develop some more flexibility in order to start shooting takedowns in BJJ without so much pain.

With that being said, in this video I’ll answer John’s questions by giving you guys 2 stretches that will hopefully help you get a little more range of motion when shooting in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These stretches have helped improve my range of motion with lifting and training so I hope they work for you.
