Hi all, so glad to be here!

If you have any ideas for topics that you would like to see covered in upcoming rehab videos please leave it here in the reply section. I will get to more advanced strengthening, taping techniques (for injuries acutely and also for returning to the mats- like turf toe, and skiiers thumb), some positional mobility drills (like the open guard one now posted), and lots of others...but if there is a particular thing you would like to see covered..DONT BE SHY!

thanks for any and all feedback and suggestions- we are here for you!

Did the calendar go away with the new update? If so, I'm going to miss it, because it was a good motivator.

I’m experiencing the tightness on right scapula . My physiotherapist told me that I have very tight thoracic spine. I feel painful after BJJ sparing. I don’t feel that after boxing or yoga or weightlifting or yoga. Any tips? Thank you!

Any word on how Rosi is doing. I saw a post that she isn’t well. ❤️

hey guys.

i know it's a long shot but i'll give it a try. a year ago i got an MRI after hearing a loud crack in my left knee (not training related) and it showed a partial tear (radial, not bucket handle shaped) in my medial meniscus. I already did some rehab and in everyday life it doesn't bother me at all. i even got back to squatting full range down without pops or weird feelings. ligaments are also fine. that being said, i'd love to get back on the mats but i'm afraid to fuck up my knee completely due to heavy torsion movement involved in jiu jitsu. has anybody had a similar problem? would a knee support offer real protection or nah? for some context: i'm 42 and i have a two years old kid, so i gotta choose my battles wisely. thank you.

Are the lives still a thing? Maybe it’s just me, but I haven’t noticed any in a while.

I was wondering what the best approach to my yoga sessions would be. The area I currently want to focus on as "a rock" are my inner thighs. I currently have about 45 minutes each day that I'd like to dedicate to yoga.

Would it be better to do 2 videos of the yoga for rocks series in these 45 minutes or 1 video + 1 video of another body part that needs work.

Should I work the same muscles each day, or give them a day of rest?

I also wanted to thank you guys for this concept, because its been a tremendous help so far!

Hi all

One of the reasons for me downloading this app was the stiffness in my hips (groin area) when the person on top hooks my feet and spreads them wide.

This has always been a problem area for me, and was wondering which lessons would most suit my needs.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

If hope you understand what I'm trying to say :)

I am curious. How do you decide what video/program to do on a day to day basis? Do you have any type of methodology when choosing? Do you just sit on your mat and say, “What do I feel like doing today?”

  • Twenty years ago I hyperextended my right big toe in high school wrestling practice. It has always bothered me a little bit off and on, but then I started jiu-jitsu a few weeks ago and ever since I haven't had any problems. I thought jiu-jitsu cured me.

  • Then two days ago, I was learning a basic guard sweep and I rolled my partners weight onto my active toes instead of over the top of my foot. It hurt like hell. I was able to finish the class without too much pain, but once I got to the laundromat after class I could barely walk.

  • Any suggestions for recovery and/or exercises to make reactivating the injury less likely going forward? I think this will probably be a life-long issue for me, but I want to do anything and everything I can to mitigate it.

  • I'm aware of Kurt Osiander's taping method and will use that when I'm able to train again.
