Budō & the Female Cycle: Train With Your Body, Not Against It

How do I adapt my martial arts training to the menstrual cycle phases? In this video, we explore an often overlooked yet crucial aspect for women in Budō: cycle-based training. Whether it’s Aikidō, Judō, or BJJ, our bodies change throughout the month; "smart training" means understanding these phases and leveraging them to your advantage, rather than fighting against your own body. We break down the different phases of the menstrual cycle and show you how to optimally adjust your intensity, technique, and recovery.
