Is Sitting Really The New Smoking? | Chiropractor Breakdown

From CMJJ Headquarters

September 16, 2026

Everyone loves to warn us that sitting is the new smoking, but is it actually true? I dug into the science of why our bodies crave constant motion. It turns out the real enemy isn't the chair itself, but the lack of variety in our daily posture. Rather than obsessing over sitting versus standing, the secret lies in balance and alternating positions to keep our muscles and circulation from getting stuck in one gear.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
