You can have tight hips and still build a decent jiu jitsu game...
But having good hip flexibility hips will give your BJJ game many more options.
Increasing your hip mobility will:
- Help you develop a stronger, more complex guard
- Allow you to have a stronger base when moving through low-stance positions like Knee-Cuts and Headquarters
- Make you more dynamic when wrestling up or transitioning through takedowns
And Jiu Jitsu aside, having better hip mobility makes life in general, and strength training, a whole lot easier...
If you think your hip mobility could be improved, this video will show you how to make that happen -
BJJ Hip Mobility Exercises - a Simple Way to Build Flexible Hips
This video explains 4 key aspects of the hip that you should start with when setting out to improve your hip mobility. Those 4 aspects are:
1. Back of the hip - hamstrings and calfs
2. Front of the hip - quads and hip flexors
3. Internal hip rotation
4. External hip rotation
In this video you'll learn a simple stretches that you can use for each of these positions. The stretches start at the very beginning, so they're suitable for anyone. I also give a couple of more advanced variations so that you can continue to progress as you develop greater flexibility.
I hope this video works for you. I would love to hear in the comments how these stretches have worked for you!
