Bulletproof For BJJ Training Program DVD Review
The way this instructional work is not unlike others on the subject. You get several volumes, each covering a certain aspect of the program. Throughout, Joe Worthington and James Tomlinson explain exercises programming and how it all relates to BJJ. We’ve seen this already y plenty of time s before. Well, not quite. The one difference between the bulletproof For BJJ program and virtually all others is that this one actually works. Not only that but it’s been tried and tested and it is foolproof. Plus it can fit into anyone’s schedule and greatly reduces the risk of injuries, as you’ll see in this DVD review.
What you can expect this program to do for you is teach you how to train. There are three different programs within the instructional and each has two phases. Depending on what your goals are, you can either choose one or look to integrate them all in an easy to use program. The programs include a general and specific grappling strength program, which has two levels. It also has a two-level mobility program as well as a train-at-home program. The best part is that they’re all easy to connect and set up, even if you have absolutely no previous experience.
Strength Program
The strength portion of this instructional stretches across two volumes. Each of them covers a different level or phase of the Bulletproof For BJJ training program. Here you won’t find the Holy Grail of BJJ strength training. Instead, what you get are precise, in-depth instruction on how to perform the most functional exercise in existence.
This portion contains all the sets, reps, exercises and workouts you’ll need to truly become bulletproof. A great thing is that you also get to adjust the intensity to suit your needs, with options to train anywhere from 1-4 times a week. The program includes grappling specific exercises that build multiple qualities at once. Plus, everything is arranged in two levels, providing you with a program that’ll last you at least a couple of months.
Mobility Program
The mobility program also contains two levels and is probably the most important aspect of this instructional. As previously mentioned in this DVD review, both levels are on one volume. Still, when I attempted certain exercises from this portion of the Bulletproof for BJJ program, I found them to be extremely challenging, Much more than the strength exercises, to be honest.
The mobility exercises form this portion focus on getting you limber enough to train regularly. Moreover, they work in conjunction with the strength exercises, keeping your joints and tendons healthy. The most important role, though is in injury prevention. Joe and James’ approach is to work methodically and thoroughly, using simple exercises and tools. They even include specific warm-ups and cooldowns to allow you to train mobility even when you’re on the mats.
Training At Home
The final portion of this DVD is all about allowing you to train from home. For everyone that’s pressed for time, doesn’t like to train in commercial gyms, or both, this is the perfect solution. Once again, you get a detailed walkthrough of a two-level program. Moreover, Worthington and Tomlinson went through the program themselves, ensuring is really provides what they claim. In terms of equipment, you won’t require anything special. All you need is a spot in your home large enough to lay down. As an alternative, you can also do it on the mats in your academy.
In Summary
Training strength and conditioning for BJJ should be supplemental. This is exactly the portion people forget about. It may be cool to be able to deadlift 500 lbs, but are you really mobile enough to grapple? Conversely, doing a full lotus is also impressive, but that doesn’t mean you’re strong enough to get through a roll. The Bulletproof For BJJ DVD review above is intended to paint a clear picture of what you get from this training program. Having gone through the mobility portion myself, and starting with the strength now, I can guarantee you’ll get even more form it than you expect!
