Jiu Jitsu Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for many things this Thanksgiving. But if there's one thing I'm more thankful for than anything else when it comes to my time on the mat, it's been the vision of the man who's made my jiu-jitsu dream possible.

A lot of people boast about how many schools they've trained at, how many instructors they've studied under ... And I hope that has helped them live the kind of jiu-jitsu life they enjoy. For me, I couldn't be happier to have been raised in one home, by one family, for the past 17+ years of my jiu-jitsu life.

Firas Zahabi "This is the thing Jiu-Jitsu players don't do but absolutely should"

Is conditioning the biggest differentiator between the success of jiu-jitsu athletes in MMA and other combat athletes, especially Russian wrestlers? Tristar's Firas Zahabi thinks so.

I recently read an Instagram post from a wrestling organization that encouraged wrestlers to make sure they got in their conditioning work. And if there was a choice between conditioning and strength work, conditioning came first. I've adjusted my off-mat training to emphasize conditioning and de-emphasize strength work. I've also gone back to doing a long, LSD cardio session (40+ minutes) after jiu-jitsu training.
