Your Fitness Matters
When I came back to grappling, I figured out how crucial strength and conditioning really is. My training partners complained about cardio and recovery. I didn’t — because I understood something they didn’t.
The game-changer was switching from split routines to full-body training. Fewer sets, fewer exercises, less need for brutal cardio when you’re already rolling multiple times a week. That let me train 6x a week for 6+ years without serious injuries — and earn my black belt with focused, intentional sessions.
“In my clients’ words: real improvements in BJJ performance, lesser frequency of injuries, and a renewed sense of purpose going forward. That’s the whole point.”
