@Andrew Molyneux make it easy on yourself and add 1 minute a day if breathwork. Then increase as you feel like it. But 1 minute is mandatory. Daily.

@John Bishop Sounds pretty good still. I imagine as you continue getting older you may need to swap the kb volume with the breath and mobility volume.
Focus for the week (cool down)
For all of my time training my goal was to stretch after class and cool down efficiently. But that’s boring and people want to hang out and share stories and try other moves after training and that’s way more fun. Then later when I got home I’d be stiff make dad noises when I moved. This week, if you aren’t already, take at least 5 min after hard training to gently stretch and move to cool down and help your body relax. Try not to get distracted. Tell people to give you a few minutes. If they leave and you don’t get to hear the story, catch the next one. Tune into your body and feel what needs attention. Maybe you just need to sit and breathe. But connect to your body and find stillness because training amps you up and we have to be able to turn it off and relax after.

I am honored to assist Rickson Gracie in teaching jiu jitsu concepts of self defense that reach beyond the mats and improve all aspects of life.
