Hip mobility — both internal and external rotation — are super important in jiu jitsu. The more mobility you have, the greater your arsenal of techniques you can apply with effect. Even outside of jiu jitsu, poor hip mobility can cause downstream effects like lower back pain. Here’s a partner drill (though you can modify with resistance bands if you don’t have a partner) that you can do daily to improve your hip range of motion.
Thank you to Dr. Brumfield at Brumfield Chiropractic for the information and for being a Gold Sponsor of Grapple.
Go pay him a visit — you’ll thank us later!
