BJJ Hip Mobility Exercises: a Simple Way to Improve Your Hip Flexibility

[@Bjorn_R]

My perspective changed completely once I understood that stiffness also comes from weak muscles where the body tightens up to protect that area. I have always had extremely tight hips, I did my squats, lunges and deadlifts but never directly hip muscle work. I have started doing it now and Im kinda excited to see where I am at in 6 months.

Thank you so much for this, I’m a white belt and have a really sore hip and realised I’m not flexible enough. Definitely adding this to my routine.

Thanks for the video. I need to add more to my routine. I personally like to stretch at the end of the day after a shower. That way my body is warmed up. Its also a nice way to relax at the end of the day imo

[@bulletproofforbjj]

You’re welcome! Yep, stretching is great for down regulating.

The part where you said “if you’re huffing and puffing dial it back” lmao Makes so much sense my nervous system is being told That “I’m in danger” meme.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Hahah not seen the meme but yeah we want to keep the breath calm during this stuff for best effect

Man thanks a lot. My hips lack of flexibility made come and go from BJJ.

Happy to help!

During the seated hip rotation exercise, when I start bringing the leg back up from internal rotation I get this weird, cramp like pain in the back of my thigh but more towards the side, if that makes sence? Any ideas what it could be? Thanks

[@JPBotero717]

Do we need to warn up before this exercises?

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Go with what feels right for you. As an example, I’ll do a short warm up if I’m training my mobility in the morning during the cooler months (autumn and winter). Other than that I generally find it fine to go straight into the stretches 🤙🏼

[@TheFineolase]

Fucking love all the stuff you guys put out

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Awesome! Thanks for supporting

[@pancraseash9002]

All that swearing i feel like I need to go to church ! Good tech tho.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Don't go to church they will make you confess, then we're all f#cked.

Cracks me up how he keeps saying "players" or "play jujitsu". Probably plays footie in his off day
