In today's video I answer a question from a newer BJJ practitioner who's struggling with flexibility. He says his flexibility is terrible, like a 1 out of 10. In fact, it's so bad he can't even bend over to touch his toes.
In today's video I a couple of key strategies that have helped me become a bit more flexible which is useful for techniques and injury prevention on the mat, and recovery and overall joint health off the mat.
Hopefully the video will be useful to you if flexibility in BJJ is something you struggle with.

Hey chewy. I just subbed to your channel. And I have a problem with my start to bjj. My background consists of 9 years of wrestling ( two years at uncp) . So i naturally have that rip of your head mentality. And i feel like I have done a good job of not giving in to those urges when rolling. So my question is; how can I rewire myself and still keep the good explosive techniques and pressures of wrestling. And do it to were I don’t feel bad; because the people who roll don’t have experience in that aggressive environment?

@knyghtkrawlr 3 года назад

This is the same process to reverse bad habits, albeit in reverse; you put minor inconveniences in your way to prevent you from easily engaging in things you don't like to do. For example, you watch too much tv, so you hide your remote, unplug your hdmi, etc therefore it makes it more appealing to do something else

@@Chewjitsu Question from a fan, I have.

@john.connor1 3 года назад

G'day mate I have a question.. I am a white belt with only one stripe, been doing BJJ for about a year. I competed in my first comp and went up against a fellow club white belt with 4 stripes. I won by a Kimura after about 20 seconds into the match. The next week, he was promoted to blue belt and it seemed the coach was not happy with me. I haven't asked my coach yet but.. do you think I may have done something wrong? Please, I feel lost.

@carlosg3320 2 года назад

Have you gotten your blue belt yet?

I use yoga loads of videos on RU-vid. I always do stretching after class, its important I have started Muay thai to improve flexibility in my legs

@jacksonkrall9042 2 года назад

Chewy only briefly mentioned it, but definitely get a foam roller, if you don’t have one, and using it! It’s like you’re getting a massage anytime you use it, and it has been a great help for me to recover from injuries and to loosen up

@A19csd 3 года назад

@bmstylee 3 года назад

This is helpful. What I'm struggling with is not getting down on myself because it feels like I'm not improving. Even though I have several brown belts, a purple belt and 2 black belts telling me the contrary.

@Chewjitsu 3 года назад

Why is it so crucial that you improve immediately? Is it possibly to do something for the mere enjoyment of doing it?

@bmstylee 3 года назад

@@Chewjitsu first I am enjoying myself. And I am getting better. It's just a humbling experience coming into the sport and struggling when you are used to being successful in other sports. It keeps you interested in coming. Plus if you have goals you want to achieve you need to see improvement to know if you're moving towards them. Or work with someone to get you going in the right direction. Regardless of what activity it is.
