Are you stretching but not really improving? Then you may be making some of these 3 big mistakes. No matter how much you are stretching and doing your BJJ mobility work if you spending many hours a day continually repeating these mistakes then you will not improve your mobility. JT & Joey keep it real about what you need to stop doing in order for your body to move pain free for Jiu-jitsu.

This week the guys discuss the things they learned along the way that they wish they knew when they first started. From techniques, to ideologies, to appreciating every single roll with their training partners. Before hitting the main topic however, Roye and Miguel share some funny experiences from their childhood including the time Miguel ran face first into a glass door. Enjoy the show!!

Do you pull guard? Do you go for the take down? The question is not which is better strategically to get the win but which is better for your body when it comes to minimising injuries?

Pass guard.- Neck Issues- why guard isn't safe. Regardless of your preference the positions you choose to play can have seriously negative effects on the body and if you already have injuries the boys have the answers on a better way for you to play.
