Bjj Drills To Improve Cardio And Speed For Guard Passing
Bjj Drills To Improve Cardio And Speed For Guard Passing
Want to have more speed and cardio on the mat? Want to build your gas tank for BJJ without having to do a ton of extra cardio (like running) off the mats? The BJJ drills in this video can be a great way to help.
Things like running, sprints, etc. They’re fine when you’re in the mood. But when it becomes a regimented thing. It’s a chore.
That’s where these drills come in!
In my opinion, guard passing can be one of the more exhausting aspects of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Especially if you are a guard passer who uses a lot of movement. These BJJ drills, when done as prescribed below, can help provide a big boost to the gas tank when it’s time to roll.
Be A Big Guy But Move Like A Little Guy
I’m a bigger guy. Around 210lbs. But I always get the compliment that I move like a person much smaller and people are surprised that I don’t get tired. I have the pressure that they expect but I have way more speed and movement than they counted on.
I was also asked by a friend recently who is also a big guy, “How can I move faster even though I’m a big guy.”
I didn’t always move like I do now. The way that I developed my speed and movement is from drilling. Drilling a lot and drilling fast. I taught my body to move faster than it was comfortable doing.
Train Your Body To Move Faster
Think of it this way. If you move and drill slow all the time. You’re teaching your body to go slow. When it comes time to roll, you’re probably going to be unable to use the techniques at a fast pace.
Whereas, if you were to drill techniques at a faster pace. It’s likely you’ll be able to use them during a fast moving situation like rolling.
Here’s A Way To Use The BJJ Drills
Going back to this guard passing drills video. Try using this scheme to help build your speed, cardio and movement.
* Take 5 of the drills listed in the video, or some you might know already.
*Drill them each for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Switching drill to drill with no rest.
*At the end of the 2.5-5 minutes. Switch top to bottom with your partner.
*Repeat this passing drills sequence for 2-3 sets.
Using these drills is a great way to warm up before training with beneficial movements. It’s also a great way to blow the lungs out after rolling. Trying to maintain a fast pace after you’re already tired from rolling is brutal. But it can be great for things like building cardio before competitions.
If you’ve never done drilling in this style before. Stick to 30 seconds per drill first.
Hope you guys enjoy the movements and the idea listed in the video!
