I’ve trained in the gi since 1991. I competed in hundreds of tournaments, went to every camp I could find in Europe, won titles, and trained hard like an animal for as long as I can remember.

But I had never even considered going to a Yoga class. Like, never even considered for a second that running in circles and doing pushups wasn’t ideal for BJJ, ever EVER.

It took me over 20 mat years of grinding through herniated discs, bent fingers and fractured ribs to start to even consider that I was in fact doing something everything wrong. I thought that pain and stiffness was the price I had to pay to do this otherwise awesome sport.

I finally made it to my first Yoga class, and boy am I grateful and proud for taking a leap of faith and try out something new.

But I had to find out the hard way, that all Yoga is not equal, and it took me several more wasted years to finally find out which style of Yoga really worked.

So when I finally found it, it was nothing short of magic. My body went from being rigid and locked up, to fluent and mobile. My guard passing no longer needed risky, explosive movements, but I could flow and react like a cat. My guard retention and hip flexibility unlocked moves that I had failed at and dismissed years ago, and my body and mind felt better after Yoga than I could even remember.

But then it REALLY hit me:

Why Haven’t Anyone Told Me This Before ??

Why did I waste half my life running in circles and doing situps before class, when this is what I should have been doing all along?

This is what everyone in BJJ should be doing.

Because..

There simply aren’t any mobility or Yoga instructors doing BJJ.

And that’s because, it turned out, there were
no course for teaching Yoga and Mobility for BJJ.

and you know how it is; If you want something done..

..I had to create that course myself.
