Join us today on an episode where Diana & Kris answer some questions from our followers!

We talk if it's possible to compete while still working through the rehab process (aka not 100% yet), some advice on if getting injured has got you unmotivated & not wanting to get to the gym, & the future of White Belt Wednesdays. Enjoy!

Join us today as Diana & Kris explore why coming back to jiu jitsu too soon after surgery is a really bad idea. We explore some statistics of re-injury (which are scary), whether or not steroids improve surgery recovery rates, & why relying on functional measures or tests is much more reliable than timelines on coming back to training. We only have one body, taking care of it can increase on longevity on the mats.

Enjoy!

Join us today as Diana explores the idea of principles vs. exercises, the downfall of endless "IG reel quick fix" libraries, actual principles we share at seminars, & the harsh truths that noone likes to hear but needs to hear (us included).

A passionate discussion that can make all the difference for your health.

Enjoy!

Join us today on a special episode with a very special guest, Matt Garrido.

We hear so often the story of avoiding MRIs & advising against our clients getting them. But what if they could actually be helpful? What if they could help create some clarity or even TRUST in the process? That's what happened to Matt & something we talk about in our conversation today. Working with Matt has opened my eyes to the possibility of adapting & flexibility based on what is truly best for the person in front of us.

This is his story.

Join us today as Diana breaks down her current jiu jitsu training split, her current gym training split, how she manages volume & intensity herself on & off the mats, plus reasoning behind why this works for her. Finding what works for you is the most important part of sustainability, so we hope you can find some ideas to play with.

Enjoy!

Join us today as Diana explores some common lessons she's heard while chatting with clients during our exit/discharge meetings. Insight like this is priceless when applied properly, & we are so grateful to be able to have these conversations with our clients on the regular. We hope you can take away something valuable from today's episode.

Enjoy!

Join us today on a special episode with a very special guest, Jeff Salvatore.

Jeff was an active kid all of his life, and has had his fair share of injuries. Upon starting Jiu Jitsu, he had his doubts of even being able to train. After a devastating knee injury & surgery, Jeff fell into a state of hopelessness. He felt completely lost, until he started to pick the pieces up to rebuild his knee, & his future. In this episode, Jeff speaks honestly about his experiences, mental struggles, & how he got to where he is now (recently promoted to purple belt!!).

This is his story.

Join us today as Diana & Kris explore what it means to state that an exercise is the "best exercise for jiu jitsu". Does it create clarity or more confusion? Does it help simplify the world of strength training for the jiu jitsu community or does it just create more complexity? Have we taken it too far with creativity in exercises? We explore these questions & give us our take on a more realistic framework.

Enjoy!
