Fitness & BJJ: Hip Openers / Strengtheners - Part 2

Submitted by Lee_Ann on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 10:44

I wanted to follow up with a couple more hip openers and strengtheners because they are so important to our game.I recommend combining two core moves and two hips moves as your warm up. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit, any of these moves will be great. I highly recommend the hip circles. Below are some exercises that allow the hips to become more open and assist in aligning the pelvis.

I am often asked if I am able to treat shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, feet, etc. in my practice. The answer is yes, and often I can do it without even touching the arm or leg. I have seen that posture, and therefore, postural distortions, not only affect the spine, but also the extremities.

The last two months have given me an opportunity to not just reflect and write about Black belt responsibilities, but the whole responsibility that tests your humility, your mental restructuring, your daily attitude, your mentality as an athlete and martial artist, your grace with other students, emotional maturity, and overall the whole responsibility while pursuing the trail of the goal to BJJ Black belt.
