Do you always feel sore after BJJ? Suffering big body aches from rolling? The Jiu-Jitsu grind on the body is real. Here in lies the physical cost of Porrada- physical pain on many levels. JT & Joey discuss their own experiences of post rolling soreness and how to properly deal with it. They clear up one of the biggest misunderstandings in BJJ- The fact that it is resistance training from all angles. This result is very intense Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) combine this with the impact trauma of submissions, getting stacked, coping a Knee Ride or a mean crossface! To deal with this accumulation of damage it's important not to ignore the causes and rely on pain killers or anti-inflammatories. It starts with a disciplined approached to not roll to the death and if the intensity of the exchange is outside of your control implement strategies to have lighter rolls to alternate your intensity on the mat.

Episode 271 - A Dangerous Belief That Robs You Of Being Your Best

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy discusses why he doesn't set expectations for outcomes and how he learned this lesson through competing and rolling. Chewy discusses how he was able to become distant from expectation and was able to put this idea into practice, using meditation to promote a mindset of no expectations while recognizing negative emotions, the importance of exposure, and focusing on what you can control. Chewy and Eugene also break down the first Chewjitsu Open and the key takeaways and challenges. We also discuss what creates a good tournament environment, what Chewy would change about the tournament, one of the most important skills to develop as a competitor, and the value of working with a nutrition coach.

Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20 [https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals](https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals) Have you got a bad knee? Do you wear a knee brace and think you are protected? Knee, wrist and ankle braces of all kinds make a lot of money for the companies that make them BUT they are putting your joints in jeopardy! Simply wearing a knee brace and continuing to train BJJ is not only a bad idea but can lead to further injury. The myth that external braces protect your joints is a SCAM. The Bulletproof boys examine their experience with knee injuries, knee braces, effective tapping and rehab to get to the bottom of this multi million dollar industry that is lying to the Jiu-jitsu community.
