We’re back this week with another awesome video from BJJ Black Belt Dewey Neilsen. You might remember him from his well-received Top 5 Stretches for BJJ post.
This week he graced us with some ground-based conditioning flow. This is smooth and only scratches the surface of possibilities.
I’m going to try to get Dewey on the phone some time soon to discuss his training. Anything you’d like me to ask him? Watch both of his videos and think about it.
I have always been moved by the power of sound. Immediately after high school I joined the Marines and often thought about how well everyone moved in unison.
It was magical. From rifle drills to PT, physical training, the power of sound united everyone in the platoon.
When I was discharged I moved into an ashram where mantra meditation was a large part of the spiritual practice. Later, at Temple University while in school for Kinesiology we talked about “performance mantras” to help athletes with their sport psychology, develop skill and overcome mental distractions.
This week’s awesome BJJ Workout video comes from BJJ Blackbelt, human movement professor and good friend Dewey Nielson. I plan on making guest videos and blogs post a regular part of BJJ Workouts, if there’s anything you’d like to see please let me know in the comment below.
I’m glad he picked these Top 5 stretches for BJJ because I too appreciate and use these stretches on a daily basis,even on days when I’m not able to get on the mat.
Do you make these 2 BJJ Conditioning mistakes ?
They’re very common, not only in BJJ Strength and Conditioning but also Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu itself.
The “Majoring in Minors” mistake is a huge take-away for me. I see this all the time. And I’ve been guilty of it myself.
People devoting the majority of their training to the little things, things that don’t matter much.
I’m not talking details, details are super important. but details are important on the basics, the fundamentals.
Getting Started? Building Momentum in your BJJ Workouts.
You can plan, plan and plan your BJJ Workouts but planning does not produce any training momentum.
You’ve got to start moving. You’ve have to do something, anything to start your training process/momentum.
It’s much easier to start with something very small, like a brief 10-15 minute training session instead of stressing over your huge training plan.
What small change can you make right now? Arrive at BJJ class 10 minutes early and jump some rope?
