Warm up Challenge

[Jesse Briggs]

Imagine doing just the warm up series for a month long. 9 videos, spending approximately 10 to 15 minutes on each, that would be an hour and a half to two hours of training per workout. Imagine 3 to 4 times a week? I wonder if there would be a measurable way to gauge efficiency from spending just one month doing that....
I may try it when jits slows down a bit for me via traveling out of town to train etc. I think bjj practioners have spent a month doing way worse! It may become monotonous, but In a month you may be able to really tack on some speed, accuracy, sensitivity etc to your game.....

If your first month of traIning thats what you did you would probably get really good quick because you would know, back side and mount escapes, you would have guard passes, sweeps and 1/4 guard retention skills with some good submissions.

I think that would be a good option for anyone just starting out because then youll always have an answer for what you should be doing during sparing

Plus its really easy to show them what to do off of a failed ankle lock when they have already put 100s of reps into an ankle lock. I really like the warm ups because they give complete whitebelts the basic language of BJJ which makes teaching everything else much easier.

At my gym the first student to master all warm up series gets a free shirt, in the last 4 weeks ive had 10-12 people master half of them so far. They put extra reps in on open mat days, im noticing quick improvements in there games.

Prancercise is a MUST

We have a warm up drilling sequence but probably once a year we have a month just learning the specifics of the system.

Me and my buddy Mario Lopez were talking about it while drilling today that the more you drill the faster those synapses fire putting your opponent in a losing game of catch up. Most jits guys don't have the issue of not spending enough time rolling. I think, this is my opinion now, most intermediate grapplers overlook drilling. They have been exposed to most things and feel they already know it, but do they KNOW it???????
