Team E2F went down to Vegas for the No-Gi WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP and did exactly what we worked for! Huge shoutouts to the new world champions and and special congrats to Cassia becoming the YOUNGEST IBJJF BLACKBELT WORLD CHAMPION IN HISTORY! These athletes put in 12-15+ hours a week on the Mats and still come to the gym with me and follow the 4 x week program. Cassia and Tasha have been with me for over a year now and both are dominating their weight classes with strength, speed, skill, and endurance. Top level BJJ performance requires more then just technique. You gotta put in the work for your body performance as well, but that doesn’t require special programs, excercises, or equipment …………it requires getting stronger, faster, and better using the basics. Squats, cleans, presses, and pulls. Plyometrics, speed, and power. Endurance, mobility, and recovery. These athletes and there outstanding results are a perfect example of that!

It’s true. Lots of new flashy stuff out there. Pseudo science workouts, filtered videos and images, and now I see a increase in people joining the “Jiu jitsu strength coach” space. Great! But you gotta watch out. Bjj is it’s own sport, with it’s own skill sets, energy systems, positions, and mindset. Someone would need a deep understanding of the sport before being able to tell what drills make you better. Majority of beginner competition issues are based in the in-ability to control your mind, emotions, and therefore sympathetic drive. In fact…….on average white belts are stronger the purple belts because they haven’t yet sacrificed all there athletic potential into a sport that spends 90% of the time lying on the ground 😳. We all need a balanced, progressive, and systematic approach to stay healthy and continue getting better, improve athleticism and reduce injury risk. Quit hu***ng sand bags, sh*****ng with sleds, and doing weird guard techniques with bands in the gym and wondering why your BJJ hasn’t got better. Your literally taking time and every AWAY from training to do things that don’t make you better. Squats, cleans, jumps, presses, sprints………..this is the way. Join a program that has over 20 years BJJ and strength & conditioning experience. A team that has proven itself on the biggest stages of BJJ time after time.

I’m old school AF. I don’t buy in to the modern trends of fitness, bjj, or this whole influencer thing. I get it……..everyone wants a niche. But with 25 years under the bar, 20 of those as a certified coach, 20 years on the mat competing, 13 years and 23 confirmed MMA fights, the last 5 years dialing that in as a experienced fitness and nutrition coach for grapplers…….I found my niche. And I’m tired of seeing dumb s**t in my sport. We don’t need weighted shrimps, weighted get ups, yoga animal animal moves, or any goofy ass lift that mimics a grappling technique. I don’t try to change fitness or make up a bunch of sport specific drills to fit BJJ. BJJ has one thing that’s made the most effective fighting system since it’s origin……….it’s called technique. Get in the gym and conquer the basics. Get strong with squat, press, and deadlift. Get fast with jumps, cleans, and sled/hill sprints, get endurance by putting in the morning cardio. And stop treating your mouth like a garbage can. That’s it!!!! New bands came in today!!! And no!!!!! They ain’t for helping with pull-ups!!! Been a accommodated resistance fan since the beginning.

Estimated aerobic power, muscular strength and flexibility in elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes 05/15/2024

Conclusion:
"The results of this study allow us to conclude that elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes have good aerobic power, medium flexibility, excellent maximal isometric back strength, excellent abdominal and upper body strength endurance, and poor values of both maximal isometric handgrip and leg strength"

This study confirms a few staples in the Eat_2_Fight program.

Good aerobic power due to our constant training in the short rounds of 3-5 minutes, but we know that with a 1-3:1 pause stop ratio were not pushing as hard as we can in those bouts......I believe the person who's used to exploding through that pause period with good muscular and aerobic control with good breath control, heart rate, and cognitive control will have the advantage of the athlete who needs rest...Enter hurricane training, a staple for all athletes.

"Medium flexibility" confirms that mobility has a big role in athleticism and resiliency. Simply getting smashed in bad positions is not enough. The person with better muscle recruitment, motor control, and comfort at end range mobility will not only be more explosive in disadvantageous positions, but also more resilient against immobilizing technique attacks. .....Enter full Range of motion weight lifting, the only way we recommend hitting the compound lifts at

"excellent isometric back strength" is a adaptation to a top player or passer, confirms the amount of time spent bent over in training is more then enough. Over taxing hinging exercises such as the deadlift are not necessary and possibly increasing risk of overuse and injury.............haven't programmed a deadlift in in the last 2 years. Instead we do a variety of squatting exercise's and lighter more dynamic hinging such as power cleans and kettlebell swings.

"excellent abdominal and upper body strength endurance" is a adaptation to a bottom player or guard puller. No surprise that they would have alot of strength in this area from basically holding a hollow body position while pushing, pulling, and fighting.......however its in the endurance and static hold positions. So again, building some explosive full range or motion power out of the upper body would deliver a athletic advantage of more strength, range, and power while holding someone in their guard.

A new topic of intrest to me lately is the "poor values of both maximal isometric handgrip". While I used to believe that all BJJ players got enough grip training with practice, and even said more would be overworking. But now believe that most pain in the hands and elbows in BJJ comes from this imbalance of musculature in the forearms. WE spend lots of time working the finger contraction strength, but never in the extension, or beyond the fingers into the musculature of the hands and forearms. Lots of work on this right now and griping will be a huge part of very soon.

And finally some confirmation that BJJ does absolutely nothing for your leg strength with the statement of "poor values of maximal leg strength" Which makes since, because BJJ is dominantly done lying down in a prone position. While we can conclude that maybe leg strength has the least to do with your performance on the ground.......how did we get to the ground? Wrestlers and judo player alike all benefit greatly in the standup game from stronger leg strength......so unless your a guard puller only, you should be hitting them squats to give you the best advantage of scoring a takedown and playing a dominate top game.

One of my goals for is to put a seminar series together. Seminars are huge learning opportunities in the BJJ community, and I believe I can replicate this with strength and conditioning within the BJJ community. As grapplers, What type of cardio we need, how much strength should we have, how to balance skill, strength, and conditioning work with mat time, how to eat, what to eat, when to eat it………..lots of options to look at. What would you all want to see out of a seminar, throw some ideas in the comments and if your gym or team is interested in leveling up your BJJ game outside the mats Hit me up!!!!!!!!!
