I had the honor of being interviewed last week by Luke from Critical Bench.
The topic was Kettlebell Training for BJJ but we cover much more than just kettlebells and I’m glad we did. Although I love kettlebells and use them very often with my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu players, it’s important to understand the complete strength and conditioning picture when discussing conditioning for BJJ.
Here are some of the topics we cover:
Here’s our final part of our 3-part video interview series with BJJ Blackbelt and master strength & conditioning Coach Steve Maxwell.
In this final part of our interview Steve continues with his thoughts on nutrition and wraps up with a very cool story of the time he spent with Helio Gracie on his farm…. what and how Helio ate and which foods he avoided.
Make sure to listen to the part where Steve talks about Helio and his coffee.
We’re back for Part #2 of our video interview series with BJJ Blackbelt and strength & Conditioning master Steve Maxwell.
In this video Steve talks about:
1. The training of the ancient Persians and Indians. Where did club training actually originate?
2. The truth about calories. Does what you eat really matter? How about Paleo nutrition? Is there truth to primal eating?
3. His thoughts on diary-based diets. How warrior cultures survived for years on mostly whole milk and much more.
Steve Maxwell was my first BJJ coach. This was many years ago in Philadelphia at Maxercise located at 707 Chestnut Street.
Some of my best BJJ memories are from those days. Getting beat up by Noah Spear and the Migliarese brothers. Getting foot-locked repeatedly by Anray (sp) to the point of near breakage simply because I swept him.
Suffering in the Philly humidity on the 3rd floor… wondering what the hell I was doing training in a gi.
But beyond the obvious cool I wanted to interview Dewey for several reasons. Since he’s a BJJ Blackbelt and well known strength and conditioning coach I wanted to pick his brain on how he intergrates everything for his guys and team over at Impact BJJ and Performance Training.
