2 different sets right now, I switch them up randomly. First set is shrimping and granby rolls from 4 different situations plus peaking. The second set is ninja rolls, solo fancy feet, boas, rolling kimura's and marcelotines. Gonna put together a 3rd and final set soon. :)
Jog laps, fancy feet, squats, lunges, 100 burpees, leg stretches, and the flavor of the day basic escape drills.
Crossfit
Jog round the mat, fancy feet, star jumps, squats, press ups, sit ups/collar chokes, 3 backward snakes, 2 forward snakes, 1 spiderman. Circle up fire hydrants, roll over stretch, butterfly stretch etc
Eddie, are the majority of those things partner drills?
Our warmups in Peterborough are torturous affairs. Core core core core core, plus the usual shrimping and escapes, a billion pushups/sit ups/squats and partner-carrying/lifting/squatting exercises, kettlebell stuff. They are insane. I love them so much.
My own personal warmup can't really be described. When I warm up others I just try to create athletic committed hips. And a reoriented sense of spatial awareness. I try to hardwire the nervous system via repetition. Proven method and to much energy used to warm up to waste. Why use a mundane motion not related to jj? Sprawls instead of burpees, cartwheels instead of situps, planches and handstands instead of pushups. And rolling, shrimping, bridging, and threading from every position imaginable in every direction imaginable. Personal theories.
(this is my open mat warmup)
i lay down on the mats (with my arms and legs out for maximum stretching potential), close my eyes, and wait for someone to ask me to roll.
I've been doing a lot of Pilates ball warm ups... It is so good for your core and hip pressure.
