Grumpy Guy BJJ Episode 1 - Steve Maxwell Seminar Recap & Why This Stuff Matters

In this first eposide of the Grumpy Guy BJJ Podcast Rob and I talk a bit about our backgrounds and what is “Grumpy Guy BJJ” before getting into a recap of the Steve Maxwell seminar we attended. Rob and I share our biggest takeaways from it, including…

- Why Rob is now such a fan of mobility training.

- Why strength and mobility training are a must.

- Why you need to manage different kinds of “hard” in your training.

- Why taking the ego out of the equation with strength and mobility training can help your BJJ.

- Why not being able to squat will limit your BJJ.

- Why losing your mobility is like losing your vocabulary.

- The difference between Mobility and Flexibility and why being too flexible can lead to injuries.

- Why we’ve both been going about “strength training” the wrong way.

- Why isometric exercises are so powerful for you BJJ training.

- Ramping Isometrics and how to use them in a program.

- How to balance Strength and Skill training.

We’d love to hear your feedback on the podcast and see if you have any suggestions for future subjects. You can respond to this email or leave a comment below the podcast.

We don’t really have much of a plan for the podcast except to get together at least every other Thursday before noon class and record one. I doubt we’ll run out of stuff to talk about anytime soon, so we’ll just see where it takes us.

Until next time...
