4X BJJ World Champion Shares His Most Effective Training Habits

Bernardo Faria was one of my favorite competitors to watch in BJJ. As a big guy who played a great half guard game, I loved watching what he did in order to become a 4x BJJ World Champion.
In this video from our recent podcast episode with him I took a minute to pick his brain on what kind of training habits he had in order to become a multiple time world champ and one of the best BJJ competitors around.
The advice in the video is priceless for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training whether you're a competitor or not. So I hope you listen to it and take it to heart as you continue on your own path.
Thanks for watching.

Train Jits x 2 per day( 10-12 classes per week) Spar at 100% Conditioning x 2 per week Judo/wrestling once a week Always go 100% and tap fast Average class: ~10 rolls Closer to Tournament chill for 2-3 days

[@Silentman333]

What a yuuuuuge honor!

[@ryangoff4813]

13 sessions a week, plus weight training. I feel beat up if I train 5x a week. That's commitment!

[@angryengineering7356]

well he probably didnt have to earn money when he did train 13times a week

[@rubenquezada3999]

Its all in the schedule, and how much you can stick to it. I lift in the morning, go to work, then jiujitsu in the evening. 5 times a week, maybe 1 or 2 more over on a good week.

[@rubenquezada3999]

Also, there is a good amount of conditioning that you have work up too. Pay attention to your body.

[@275Ranger275]

Five a week? I trained thrice last week and laid in bed all weekend making dad noises.

[@HYPER973]

@@rubenquezada3999 lol what do you work part time

[@ThomasLisboa]

I've seen many people training in my life and nobody trained like Bernardo. He is the most impressive guy I saw in terms of intensity. He is definitely one of the best of all time! Great interview!

[@herculesrockefeller4584]

I’m 41. 7 kids and two jobs (one part time) plus my wife has her career. I train jj five days a week for 90 minutes and I lift four days a week. Jj training is usually self defense, technique, specific training then live for about 30 minutes. For lifting I only do compound lifts and get in 120 reps per body part, per 7 days, and I hit each body part twice in those seven days (ex. chest Monday 60 reps and chest Thursday 60 reps) This routine doesn’t destroy my body and I still have lots of free time for my family. I hope this can help anyone trying to balance jj, weights, a family and a career. God bless.

Let’s spam Joe Rogan with Chewi’s videos until he has no choice but to bring him on JRE

One of my favorite. You both helped me a lot in my game. Thanks!

Sparring...cardio...nutrition Most important I think it's actually REST

[@calhataj]

Thats some awesome advice! I've been training 3 years, and I'm still surprised how much I learn about my own body from different tweeks, tightness, or failed techniques. Always learning! Thanks for the video! An awesome reminder to be evaluating yourself

[@Mussab05]

Make a video on the baratoplata and how to finish it please because there isn't any on how to cleanly finish it on youtube

[@minatozakisana8244]

thank you for this wonderful content, very big coincidence coz i want to return on mma

[@user-sq9xs3bg3m]

He stayed 10 - 13 classes a day. How long have this classes been? Thanks for the awnser.

[@ICEMPIREdemon]

I think he meant 13 sessions per week

[@user-sq9xs3bg3m]

@@ICEMPIREdemon Thank you. God bless America

[@abvgeikacare7243]

Isn't he a 5x World Champion?

[@markuslepisto7824]

Mister Bernardo Bambino Faria❤

[@0nlyBigT]

How do we watch the full podcast

[@knifezoid]

Was hoping he'd say do some push ups but I heard roll with Marcelo Garcia 13 times a week instead. LMAO!

[@apollotherandom5118]

there was once a dude who said "take what is useful" that dude was Bruce Lee. Bernardo BJJ Bruce Lee confirmed???

[@ICEMPIREdemon]

This is why i don't but the "khabib never taps at the gym" thing, if a 4 time bjj champion taped once a day there is no way anybody never taps imo

[@CalebSpears1]

He trains in Dagestan, it may just be there he’s the guy and nobody is on his level. Just a guess

[@ICEMPIREdemon]

@@CalebSpears1 je also trains at Aka in the us, but maybe you are right, je maybe doesn't train with élite grapplers like the Renzo academy deth squad

[@definitelynottigerwhitten5865]

Wonder how he'd do at ADCC

[@sampokemppainen3041]

I like just holl. But then again i no champ.
