Grumpy Guy BJJ Episode 13 - Cardio Training for BJJ.

In this episode of Grumpy Guy BJJ we discuss Cardio Training…kind of.

We hadn’t seen or really talked to one another in about a week and a half so we talked about all sorts of random stuff while catching up. Everything from Rob feeling bad that one of his statements could be seen as being racist, crazy Uber drivers and ancient Romans using their togas to strangle the enemy (the origins of gi chokes?).

When we finally got to cardio (endurance training) here were some main principles we agreed on:

- Avoid the cardio “black hole”

- BJJ training is the best endurance training for BJJ.

- Don’t look at it as “cardio” but more of endurance training.

- Train with intention.

- Don’t over train.

- There is no one size fits all when it comes to nutrition.

- Long Slow Distance (LSD) has a place. Recovery and pacing.

- Cardio training is a mental crutch for many people.
