Grumpy Guy BJJ Episode 7 - Top 5 Training Tools for BJJ

 

 In this new episode of Grumpy Guy BJJ we talk about our Top 5 Training Tools for BJJ.

As we've talked about before, while time on the mat is the most important thing for your game, doing some smart strength and conditioning off the mats can help speed up your progress as well. Knowing which training tools and exercises really work and which ones are mostly hype can save you a lot of wasted time and frustration.

Some of the highlights from this episode include:

- Talking about our upcoming Side Control Basics Workshop on December 30.

- Highlights from the Lapel Guard Seminar with Prof. Lance Trippett we attended over the weekend.

- Snooze button, eating red meat and looking out for your teammates.

- Rob’s top 5 tools: mace, Indian clubs, Kbells, balance boards, BJJ belt.

- Jame’s top 5 tools: mace, Indian clubs, sand bags, barbell, BJJ belt.

- Why the TRX didn't make either of our lists.

- Why James hates kettlebells...not really but why he thinks they are overrated, especially the KB Swing.

- Why the Turkish Get Up isn't just a kettlebell exercise and which version is best for the BJJ athlete.

- Which training tool we would pick if we could only choose one to train with.
