    Stop Getting Hurt at BJJ

    The risk of injury when training BJJ is pretty high. A whole heap of survey studies have been done on grapplers to determine the injury rate and draw lessons to figure out why. While not the same, there has been significant progress made in other full-contact sports to reduce the risk of injury. One of the universal findings is that lifting weights reduces the risk of injury for athletes by about 50%. ________________________________________________ Resources Mentioned ⚡ Free Training Program: https://www.bjjstrongonline.com/Strong-For-BJJ-Free-Program My best programs: https://bjjstrongonline.com/store My free program quiz: https://www.bjjstrongonline.com/quiz Fatigue Management Video: https://youtu.be/xIfCXrFl6rY Use code "BJJSTRONG" to save $20 on the Performance & Longevity Course here: https://courses.jordanteachesjiujitsu.com/courses/performance-longevity ________________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Injury risk in BJJ 0:50 What causes injuries in BJJ? 1:45 Select your training partners 3:27 If you're injured... probably don't train or at least tell someone 4:50 Educated yourself on safe vs. dangerous techniques 7:33 Follow a strength performance program 9:57 Dynamic warm-ups and mobility 11:50 BJJ Strong Online promo ________________________________________________ #bjj #jiujitsu #brazilianjiujitsu #strengthtraining #getstrong Kieren's Best Resources: 💪BJJ Strong Online: https://bjjstrongonline.com/ 🔗Links: https://www.bjjstrongonline.com/links 📱 Connect with Kieren: Instagram: https://bit.ly/kierenig TikTok: https://bit.ly/kltiktok YouTube: @KierenLefevre
