Hey guys! Great stuff! I'm a 49 year old in the States that's just started Jiu-jitsu about 3 months ago. 5 years before I started Jiu-jitsu, I started weight training 6 days a week, as well as cardio conditioning with intense incline walking on a treadmill mill with 5 seal style burpees every 10 minutes doing that for an hour- 3 to 4 times a week. The thing about this, which I am not sure you got to, is that my body is in a perpetual state of repair. I literally can't make myself sore no matter what I do in the gym. This, to me, is the most important component of my recovery strategy- just the fact that my body is always in the condition of fast repair and recovery. Maybe you got to that in the discussion. I admit I was listening while doing other things. However, if that did not make its way into the discussion, I think it is worth knowing. The only reason that I can actually train Jiu-jitsu is because I keep my body in a state of rapid recovery.
Hey guys! Cheers from Brasil. I started BJJ (which is just JJ for us, haha) 7 weeks ago. 27 classes by now, training 3x or 4x a week. Never did something like this before and my body is still adapting to the mobility and intesity that BJJ demands. Glad I've found your channel, it is helping me to keep my feet on the ground and have even more fun. A recovery day is a must, or even two for someone that's almost 40 years old. Usually I take morning walk or ride a bike, go to the park and then is all about sunbathing, reading, listen to some music - and sometimes have a good brakfast at the park with some friends, that helps too. Thanks for the content. My youtube is full of BJJ recommendations now and yours is one of the best. PS: Have you watched some of Roger Gracie's fights? There's a lot of episodes I didn't watch/listen to yet, but if I'm not mistaken I don't remember you mentioning him; Roger is great!
Started my BJJ Journey 3 weeks ago and I have been loving these podcasts. Tons of useful information for beginners and it is clear you guys love the art! Thanks so much!!!
Hey guys. I enjoy the podcast. All the way from Long Island NY. I just started BJJ last month. 35yo and I've gone to 11 classes so far. Looking to have some down time to ease some of the soreness.
Would love to see an annotated version. Very interested in the info but there's a lot of fluff I couldn't get through and never got to the important parts lol
Great observations concerning the drop in manual therapy from physical therapists. This has become an epidemic among the community. The research is biased against manual therapy, plus there is an egregious amount of research supporting the efficacy of manual therapy. Therapists have become lazy and use excuse driven PT to treat bc manual therapy is a difficult skill to learn. Just as a brand new student of jiu-jitsu (or judo😉) does not expect to get his black belt immediately upon starting. The same goes for manual therapy. It takes time and practice to learn a skill.
