Episode 313: Could the Turkish get-up be the unsung hero of your jiu-jitsu strength training?

With our combined quarter-century of experience in the thick of combat sports fitness, we're laying out the case for the Turkish get-up's comprehensive benefits. From building shoulder stability to enhancing your ability to wriggle out of a tight side control, we're unpacking the potential this multifaceted exercise has for upping your grappling game.
