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.
