Best Recovery Tools?
I've been through many different injury's in the past, but not just that, but also recovering from the BJJ classes I attend in general, so I am curious what y'all suggest, and do for recovery? Here's the things I do/recommend👇 - Stretching/Yoga - Good sleep - Raw honey for muscle recovery, and helps with T-levels if you're a guy - Keeping reps in reserve for hypertrophy workouts, don't be going to failure all the time - NSDR - Non Sleep Deep Rest - a meditation that helps with resetting the brain for better performance Write a comment on what you do👇

I've found the Yoga for BJJ vids really useful over the last few years, try and do at least once a week, especially when injured. Also get sports therapy massages monthly to keep me ticking over 🤣
Jiu-Jitsu is the BEST Physical Chess game
I'll always say this, Jiu-Jitsu is the best Physical Chess game out there What I mean by this is that Jiu-Jitsu is a game where you have to play smarter, not harder Jiu-Jitsu is about using your opponents strength against them And whilst speed and strength matter, Technique, and how to use technique is Superior If someone knows how to roll better, and use techniques better than someone else, then they will win, no matter their strength and speed. And this is what I mean by a physical Chess game, you have to play smarter, not harder. The same goes for wrestling in some cases, but Jiu-Jitsu is definitely the best, in my opinion Comment W if this post taught you something

Age also can make a big difference, a 20year old athletic whitebelt can absolutely cause problems for a 40year old bluebelt who has way more mat time/experience. Andrew Wiltse said something interesting in his buzzsaw passing instructional, in chess you move then I move then you move, but in bjj to be effective you want to move and move and move and not give your opponent time or space to move/react, so really is bjj like chess? Not sure
what is your workout routine like?
ive always done basic bench/squat/deadlift/press/rows/lats/biceps and triceps type stuff but ive been getting more into flexbility and i know my conditioning needs work since im not trying to powerlift or do anything like that and it's more about staying in shape as i approach 40 im thinking of doing an overhaul to how i train what do you guys focus on if your main goals are health and fitness and hobby bjj?

If you include BJJ in a workout routine, I do 3 or 4 mat sessions a week, plus 1 hit style conditioning session, 2 functional strength sessions (lots of overhead work), 1 compound session, and I run 2km three times a week after my strength sessions. I horribly neglect flexibility to my detriment, very noticeable when someone goes for an electric chair on me 🤮🤣
What do you do outside of Jiu-jitsu?
When you aren't strangling or being strangled, what do you do for hobbies and/or work? I create all sorts of content, myself! Memes, podcasts, books, audio books. I also love to Onewheel 🤙🤙

Boring day job in IT Service Management (dull as it sounds, but allows me the privilege of doing the things I love) BJJ at least 3 or 4 times a week, working out in our converted garage gym, riding my motorbike with my mat buddies, having campervan adventures with my wife and 2 doggos (we love trails and mountains and lakes), generally being outdoors and exploring, we live on an amazing planet and there's so much to experience 🙏
Beginner advice
So, i took a few classes for bjj, im about 4-5 months in and now im taking a summer break, i feel like im really close to that first strip but im really just a beginner. I learned a few submissions but i dont know them by heart, do you guys have any suggestion on what i should focus on? Any advice on and off the mats will be taken and put to use so please be serious hahaha. Thank you! Btw im 15

Absolutely mirror everything already said, keep turning up, and get used to being in horrible positions - the more you get used to being uncomfortable when you 1st start training the more comfortable you'll be when you're getting smashed, which will allow you to identify spaces you can then escape into
