This is my my routine when I'm not training for a specific fight. When I'm not fighting I like to focus all my efforts towards Brazilian jiu jitsu. BJJ is my first love and one of my biggest passions. It is an art that demands so much more than absolute strength: functional strength, timing, rhythm, and so much more. Your flexibility and coordination are your tools, do not mistake jiu jitsu for simply technique and flexibility. Your athleticism is your tool…too many jiu jitsu players only focus on strength training and technique not on what moves and what controls them. That needs to change if jiu jitsu is to evolve. Understand this is the De Arte Suave, "the gentle art", the art of timing, the art of coordination, the art of the feet, the art of the hips. Training all of these is necessary to excel and become a champion.

Muay Thai is devastating art, showcased in mixed martial arts by some of the sports best. It is filled with elbows knees, and kicks unique to only this style. Training for such a style should be unique and just as specific so all power is generated from the hips, hamstrings, spine, and feet. That's where this work out will focus on…keep in mind the lead leg and the posture of muay thai is what sets it apart and the use of your hips is what gives it its devastating power.

The training and preparation is essential in any part of life. Endurance training is no different. The following two weeks training cycle (which you repeat every two weeks), along with proper nutrition can help you become a more efficient endurance runner.
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, your core is vital to your attack. Your hips influence these aspects, but in Jiu-Jitsu the mind starts the attack, your core (stomach, lower, back spine, and hip abductors) carries it out and your base (your feet) stabilize it. All movement comes from the feet–this is no different in Jiu-Jitsu. To up your offense you need very nimble feet, a powerful core, and explosive movements. It's not only enough to time the attack correctly–for when you find timing, you must also attack and take full advantage of the opportunity. It is nothing to have proper timing if the body is not prepared to execute.
