It’s important to understand what it takes to move like a grappler. In most cases rotation is a non-negotiable, and the only way to attain such quality is to train it like everything.#physio #fitness #combatsports #ufc #rehab

The demands of the sport should be below your body’s capacity to express multiple qualities

It’s really as simple as that. The first step is to simplify it.

An all or nothing approach will do nothing but keep you stuck, in pain, and unable to decide what to do. Just take days as they are, and get to the gym even if its a 45’ min session.
