NOW I’LL ASK YOU THIS QUESTION.
If these two grapplers rolled against one another whether in a competition or just in the gym. . .who wins?
In a hypothetical scenario where two grapplers compete, I believe that it would start off even since their techniques are equal. However, as the match progresses, Grappler B would start to tire both physically and mentally.
Meanwhile, Grappler A still has plenty of energy left and would take advantage of Grappler B's weakness to easily achieve a dominant position and submit their exhausted opponent. This belief is based on my 20 years of experience in grappling.

THE BOLD FACE LIE OF TECHNIQUE
Technique alone is not enough to perform any movement effectively. Physical attributes such as strength are also crucial. While technique involves movement, it also requires physical exertion through the body's bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
The top Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners engage in strength training to improve their performance, proving that physical ability is essential. To enhance the effectiveness of a technique, both practice and improving the physical vehicle (the body) are crucial.

INCREASING YOUR ATHLETIC ABILITY IS LIKE...
β β Giving your car a bigger gas tank! (Improving your strength, power and cardio is like giving putting in a bigger fuel tank into a car. You can go longer, harder and get further with your training.)
β β Adding jet fuel to your techniques! (Techniques require physical exertion to perform. Combining excellent technique with added strength and power gives your techniques the extra horsepower they need for hard rolls or competition.)
β β It can protects the body against injury! (Almost like a suit of armor. Strong muscles, tendons, bone and ligaments help protect the body against the risk of injury. Less injuries means more training!)
A REAL WORLD EXAMPLE OF ATHLETICISM BEATING TECHNIQUE...
At 6 months into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, I competed in a No Gi tournament with White, Blue, and Purple Belts. Unaware of the belt levels, I chatted with fellow competitors who had been training for 2, 4, and 6+ years.
I WAS A WHITE BELT, HE WAS A PURPLE BELT
My opponent, a Purple Belt with 6 years of training, awaited me as my match was called. Despite knowing I was outmatched, I began the bout. He attacked with technique after technique, but I managed to evade each submission and sweep. Midway through the match, he went for a kneebar, but I escaped and regained my footing.
My opponent's condition began to deteriorate, as he breathed heavily, his footwork faltered, and he leaned on me for support. I successfully executed two takedowns, and the match ended with me winning 6-2. While my opponent was technically superior, I won based on my strength, endurance, and physical fitness!

NOT ALL MUSCLE IS CREATED EQUAL
With that being said, it's important to note that possessing great strength and bulging muscles doesn't necessarily translate to better Brazilian Jiu-jitsu skills.
When I initially began practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, it was in a secluded corner of a conventional weight training gym. We were frequently surrounded by bodybuilders clad in small tank tops, flaunting their bulging muscles and back acne.
They would observe our rolling sessions with a mixture of disdain and curiosity, before returning to their machines to pump out more bicep curls.
Occasionally, one of them would attempt to participate in our class, assuming that they could dominate us with their sheer strength. However, most of the time they soon realized that there's more to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu than just physical power.

SHOW MUSCLE VS GO MUSCLE
Hollywood movies deceive us by portraying the most muscular person as the strongest. However, our experience revealed a pattern among these individuals: they would exert 60 seconds of power before collapsing in exhaustion. We witnessed a 275lbs bodybuilder being overpowered by a 150lbs "nerd." This exposed their "Show muscle," which looks impressive but is functionally useless. They were like a sleek Italian sports car with a junk engine: beautiful on the outside but ultimately disappointing.
There is yet another type of muscle that can be encountered during a grappling session. You might have experienced it yourself when rolling with someone who seems freakishly strong and powerful, never tiring out no matter how much effort they exert. This is what we call the ''Go Muscle.''
This type of muscle manifests itself in various forms and sizes, ranging from large and imposing to smaller and more compact.
Being stronger and more powerful is the fun part.

There is often an unsung hero that comes from proper strength training. That is injury prevention. This works in a couple of different ways.
1. It strengthens the bone, muscle, tendons and ligaments
.........
BECAUSE WE DEAL WITH SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS IN BJJ...
β β Weak posterior chain muscles (hamstring, glutes in particular) leads to a lot of lower back issues.
β βTight Hip Flexors (caused by being in guard) again contributes to nasty lower back issues.
β βTight pec and bicep muscles from tucking our elbows and squeezing.
β βRounded back and poor posture (from playing Guard positions) leads to neck, shoulder and back pain.
β βWeak upper back muscles that can't stabilize against the tight pecs and rounded back.
β βWeak or imbalanced leg strength that can't protect the knee during dynamic movements.
.....
When pivoting side to side on your back with Guard, your back has to round for efficiency.
And those strong hip flexors that are wrecking your lower back also allow you to maintain Guard positions.
The key is that if you focus on correcting the imbalance, you can round your back, squeeze your pecs and biceps together and use your hip flexors during training but not destroy your body in the process.
Many BJJ practitioners make a mistake with their strength training by engaging in pattern overload, creating muscular imbalances and leading to chronic injuries. They mimic movements used during BJJ, but it's important to work muscles that don't get much action during BJJ training to maintain overall body health.
One of the most important functions of strength training is to keep your body strong and healthy. And a BIG part of this is by working muscles that don’t get much action during BJJ training.

ANY GOOD STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM FOR BJJ ATHLETES SHOULD INCLUDE...
1. β A BALANCE OF STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING
(To achieve optimal performance, it is important to strike a balance between strengthening phasic muscles and stretching tonic muscles.)
2 β EXERCISES TO STRENGTHEN THE POSTERIOR CHAIN
(For a complete workout that balances a BJJ practitioner's body, focus on hip extension and the posterior chain. Hip flexion harms our posture and causes lower back problems. Strengthening your back muscles helps protect your overall health.)
3. βINTELLIGENT CONDITIONING
(It's important to avoid overworking your body at the gym, as this can negatively impact your ability to perform well during grappling training. Any conditioning work should be added in a structured and intelligent manner, with the goal of supporting Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners on the mats, rather than leaving them completely exhausted and unable to perform at their best.)
4. βCORE WORK
(You may be surprised to learn that although Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) can help develop certain abdominal muscles, it may not strengthen your entire core. I personally experienced this during my first training session with a knowledgeable strength coach. Therefore, any comprehensive program for grapplers should incorporate appropriate core exercises to safeguard the back and counteract poor posture.)
5. βUPPER BACK WORK
(During training, we are required to round our backs to move efficiently on the mat and protect against underhooks. However, constantly rounding your back can have detrimental effects on your posture, leading to shoulder injuries and back pain. Therefore, it is important to include upper back strengthening exercises in any strength training program to counteract the effects of tight pecs and squeezing muscles and improve overall posture.)
THE GOOD NEWS TODAY IS THIS...
By reading the information presented above, I hope you have gained an understanding of the importance of a well-structured strength training program. Such a program can not only enhance your physical strength and technique but also prevent injuries by strengthening your body as a whole.
Now, I would like to introduce you to our ''Grappling Power Program'', which was designed by my business partner Joe and me. This 10-week program will provide you with structured strength training to build a robust overall body. Originally, we created this program to assist our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu students at our gym, and it has been successfully tested on other grapplers.
Earlier this year, we ran our White, Blue, Purple, Brown, and Black Belts through the program and made adjustments. Even those who had never strength trained before experienced significant improvement in their strength and performance on the mats. Additionally, many of them developed a newfound love for lifting because of the results. The students who were already lifting weights also saw a boost in their strength and power, with most of them achieving new personal bests on their lifts.
THE BRAINS, AND BRAWN, BEHIND THE PROGRAM...
If you haven't met him before, I'd like to introduce you to my good friend and business partner, Joe. He's the head of our weight training program and you may have already seen him in some of my videos or in the information provided with this product.
Joe is the mastermind behind our strength training program. Although I've contributed my input on what would be beneficial, he ultimately put everything together.
To put it simply, Joe is the weight training equivalent of what I am to grappling. Just like how I've trained in various grappling styles such as wrestling, BJJ, and Judo, Joe has experience in bodybuilding, Crossfit, powerlifting, and is currently focusing on Olympic Lifting (and has even set some national records).
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT JOE.
.........
Firstly, he is trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and has competed. I have seen numerous coaches develop programs without ever having done the thing themselves. I'm not saying it's 100% necessary, but I always value someone with real-world experience rather than just theory.
Secondly, Joe used to be tiny. When he joined the Army after high school, he weighed around 130lbs. Since then, he has gained 100lbs of solid mass. He is incredibly strong, although he would never boast about it himself because he is too humble. However, as his friend, I can brag on his behalf. His strength is insane - he casually works out with my maximum weights.
Furthermore, Joe trains BJJ students every day. Not only has he done it for himself, but he also helps other people do it. The program we're offering you has already been tested with our BJJ students, adjusted, refined, and made available to you. Joe knows their unique struggles and physical demands and understands how to train them correctly.
