Jiu Jitsu Warmups
There’s been a lot of debate about warm-ups in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but they’re essential for better BJJ performance and injury prevention. At our Jiu-Jitsu academy, we keep warm-ups short and functional—focused on real grappling movement patterns like shrimping, Granbys, knee hops, and shin boxes. These BJJ drills build core strength, hip mobility, and coordination that directly improve your Jiu-Jitsu technique. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced student, a proper BJJ warm-up prepares your body for takedowns, transitions, and escapes. Smart training means staying healthy and consistent—and that’s the key to real progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
