There are several essential elements of Jiu-jitsu training that require attention if you are to have any success.
Technical skills specific to your style -
Throws / Takedowns, Stand-up skills, Striking techniques, Hold-downs, submissions, joint locks / Restraints and Escorts
…and then there are the general areas that also need constant attention -
Sparring
Grappling
Stress Training
Flow drills
Stretching
Mind exercises (your mind is your most valuable tool)
Functional exercises
General conditioning which includes stength, power, speed, stamina, Cardio etc
Organize your sessions around a specific goal. For example, if you are developing submission skills then base your training around that. You will want to work on these skills towards the beginning of your session when mind and body are still fresh. Athough all areas are related, each area still requires individual attention.
Other important training elements can be worked on too, after you have accomplished your initial goal.
Over the next series of posts, I will not only cover some of these essential elements of Jiu-jitsu training but also go into detail with some specific exercises that we can all do to help with our overall goal. There is so much to Jiu-jitsu training, much more than just physical training. You are training the mind and body so they can work harmoniously together.
Since the purpose of Jiu-jitsu is to subdue an opponent, it is vital that you take a serious attitude at all times. This is for safety and to ensure you receive maximum benefit.
