Yoga is great for any martial arts, not only the flexibility, it helps your focus and your overall body function. It boosts your body with energy, if you try you will know what i am talking about

[tommmy1d]

A guy at my club is so inflexible yet he is very good, he has simply adapted the movements and positions in a way that he can do it. I dont agree that you cant be good at bjj if you arent flexible.

@MrRkellz don't lock your leg, it has to be SLIGHTLY bend

[DancingSpiderman]

What flavor IS it? (Blowgurt?) Because I cannot taste anything.

[MrRkellz]

question. My hip flexibility is pretty good. I can put my heels as close as i can in butterfly position and have my knees go all the way to the ground without pushing but my hamstrings suck. I've never been able to touch my toes with my legs straight out, it hurts the back of my knees. Any advice?

@tommmy1d Yes But flexibility in Bjj is an advantage, just like strength or size. I'm willing to argue that Flexibility will stomp on strength in most cases. You don't need to be flexible to be good at Bjj, You don't need strength to be good at Bjj, but it does make your techniques BETTER.

I am so stiff, I can barely bend my back. I'm so bad I wake up in the morning and just stare up at the ceiling and it takes me 10 minutes to get out of bed.

@Crudshifter I never finished it. I sent it back and got a refund. Im sticking mainly to BJJ specific workouts, and sometimes I add weights and cardio. Mainly I just stick with sparing and a good diet... It has been working out much better. Lots of fun. I thought this p90x wasnt for me. Too borring, and a load of BS, but they were cool about the refund, and didnt give me any problems.

[Crudshifter]

@InnocentyInsane I have started p90x on the recommendation of my girlfriend, having already been a fan of kungfu, MMA classes and yoga, I am now pretty much just doing mixed martial arts and yoga, perfect combination! p90x seems more of a vanity thing, too many isolated exercises! Compound movements are more effective, but MMA and yoga pure functionality and mentality over the other stuff imo!

[Crudshifter]

@aconchon Amen to that brother.

[InnocentyInsane]

@tommmy1d Im not flexable, but Im ok at BJJ. Ive watched alot of moves from, Eddie Bravo, and you have to be flexable to do alot of his stuff. If someone wants into compatitions, then I think flexability is a must. If they are learning just for self defence, against someone who has no clue of what they are doing, then they will be just fine without it...

[InnocentyInsane]

@whatdupdoh Yea, no kidding. 8 months ago. wow... No I didnt. I sent it back and got a refund. The home workout thing isnt for me. I think it would have worked tho. They had great customer service and had no problems with them. I did start an mma fitness, and tequnique class, at a local gym, and im training jiu jitsu with Tony "the gun" Bonello, if that counts for anything... I plan on taking yoga in a few months and see where that takes me...
