new series idea: Bjj with bad flexibility ?

[@bzglick]

I like it 🙃

[@raymondhardman7286]

@@bzglick and you could end each of the flexibility-challenged videos with a couple exercises on how to address increasing the flexibility in that target area. For some parts of the body, it will be more expedient to learn a complimentary technique or functional concept like you described here (I'm going to go immediately try it at noon class today even though I have good flexibility), than the long road to the stretches to fix that area; which I think should still be done. First one that comes to mind is fixing people's hip mobility and flexibility.

Thank you professor. From someone with short stocky legs and no flexibility.

[@bzglick]

Haha happy to help 😊

[@Mattchew2232]

This is great. One tip I'd add that helped my white belt self is to not be overly defensive- be on the lookout for when you *can* go into irimi ashi, tripods, wrestle ups, etc.

[@trevorgreen7984]

super helpful, I'm long limbed and not very flexible so I'm always reaching rather than balling up. thank you!

[@Mr_Iain]

Nice, will try focus on the knees to check more. Totally agree about the extension, I often try to rope them into half and work from there.

[@khaledajam2083]

Such a simple concept, but so powerful! One of the best BJJ accounts

[@bzglick]

Thanks!

[@sway71]

Was literally just thinking about this yesterday after class. I wasn't totally sure what I was doing wrong or what needed to be done, but you hit the nail on the head. Thank you!

[@bperales]

great stuff professor. thank you so much!

[@andreskimura8339]

That just i need!!! Thanks sensei Brian!

[@thomasawdffaw123]

I needed this video so badly 😂😭😭

[@irongrip]

Thanks for the tip!

[@BurntMount]

i learnt a lot, Sir.

[@TheSymphonyofpain]

Thank you!

[@FRESHH2JEFF]

Thank you Professor! 🙏🏼 Btw, what knee pad is that?

[@rickb_NYC]

If you can get your knees to your chest -- especially without using your arms to pull them in -- that is really flexible in my book.

[@MarcSolomonScheimann]

Nice HIGASHI Brand rash guard ❤ can’t wait for those to be on sale

[@bzglick]

I think they’re on the way 🤞🏼😊

[@eddiefarfan8408]

Thank you for pointing this out, I want the set so bad lol

[@TheStudiolight]

Knees to the chest that's really good flexibility 😅

[@philshifley574]

You sound exactly like Fred Armisen lol. Anyway, good tips!

[@muscleheadzzzz]

I love this and this is something that I've been looking for. I have this problem of overreaching because of I have longer legs. How do I take advantage of that instead of tucking my legs in?

[@PaulJohn283]

Yep I’m an older broken man and have been using this and teaching this for years…. The only problem with this is the more time you spend with your arms extended away from your body the more opportunities you present for armbars….Exp: Lachlan Giles vs Kade Ruotolo ADCC

💙💙💙

[@jonaelmejor]

I can't even get my knees to my chest to start with...

[@dannypabon2973]

all of that still requires flexibility

[@claytonbigbsy3880]

Guard is a terrible position, why try and hold it?.. Just stand back up!

[@ahheadlock]

i'm nowhere near flexible enough to get my knees to my chest. not even close. No disrespect, but this isn't really a tip for people with poor flexibility.

[@SteveKennedy-1744]

Unfortunately, I understand…the back of my head does not lay flat on the mat, but still made it to one stripe black belt
