all jj academies in colombia are using crossfit. How important is this method for bjj??
Extremely important! Crossfit and similar programs focus on core strength, explosiveness, flexibility and endurance, all essential for competitors and fighters. Favoring dynamic motions over static motions is a essential part of the Crossfit training philosophy, Which translates beautifully to Jiu Jitsu. We've had a similar program for about 3 years now. Its a very important part of the equation at my Academy.
ok great thanks!! im gonna get the necessary tuttoring then!!
If the coaches are good understand proper form is important and functional movements / sport specific training is key then go for it but if not avoid it at all cost there are a lot of "coaches/trainers" that have no idea what they are doing.
"Any Coach can make you Tired, not every Coach can make you Better!"
Ya Nathan crossfit is a great way to get a dynamic explosive body but its also a great way to over train and get injured which results in less time on the mats. Do it right or not at all like Dennis said. And come back to Montreal!!!
How did I miss this thread. If anyone has any questions about Crossfit I would love to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I am a Crossfit CF-L1 trainer and will have a Crossfit Affiliate by the end of the month. One of my friends owns a huge Crossfit gym in PA, and I have many contacts that have been doing Crossfit for over 5 years. I personally have been training myself and my athletes for 2 years. Hit me up if anything comes up. I know there is another crossfit trainer that is on the forum as well.Quote:

Dude, when I was looking through the locations page, I was stoked to see another 10th P/CrossFit place!Quote:

I've been taking weeks-ish off from Crossfit and only doing jitsu because of an ankle injury, and I can already feel the large difference in my body from not getting my s&c in. Before I was doing cross-fit at 10p chicago I was doing similar conditioning training on my own so I've got a so/so conditioning base but crossfits workouts in specific are shorter and more impactful than what I was doing.
I've had many people including several guests from other schools to the gym comment on how deceptively strong I am for my weight and perceived size (and in general im not trying to use strength as opposed to technique) which I can say is absolutely and entirely due to this kind of conditioning training. Im only in the 150's weight wise so overall im NOT that strong esp compared to some of the monsters at 10p chicago, but compared to anyone in my weight division who is not doing that kind of conditioning, the physical advantage it can offer is pretty clear.
Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program that will help you gain strength, speed, mobility, etc. It is based on overall athletic performance vs body building. The main emphasis is on PCE(posterior chain engagement-most people dont) and core stability. The by products are weightless strength, muscle building, better endurance, and so on. The beliefs are being skillful across many different athletic modalities-rowing, running, gymnastics-body weight, mobility, olympic lifting, strength training. Now will it make your jiu jitsu game better NO, but your stamina, strength, etc will improve so the that will help your jiu jitsu experience.Quote:
