Balancing Weight Training and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

After 15 years of weight training and around 9 years of Jiu-Jitsu experience, I've learned a lot about combining both without sacrificing performance or recovery. In this video, I share my personal experience with traditional weight training, Jiu-Jitsu-specific workouts, strength vs. technique, and the mistakes I've made along the way. I explain why I prefer using the gym to build muscle and strength while focusing on technique, leverage, and timing on the mats. I also talk about managing fatigue, preventing injuries, and finding the right balance between lifting weights and training Jiu-Jitsu. This isn't about saying one training method is better for everyone. It's simply what I've learned through years of training and what has worked best for me. Do you think traditional weight training is enough for Jiu-Jitsu, or are sport-specific workouts necessary?
