Bjj how many times a week

In this sense, self defense training is similar to a diet. The only diet that works is one that you can sustain for life. Similarly, training 5, 6 or 7 days a week will improve your BJJ, but the amount of people who can physically and emotionally sustain that training is small.

As noted, times a week is ideal for most people. But an essential part of your BJJ journey is understanding that not every week, month or even year will be ideal.

Life situation will impact your BJJ journey a lot. If you have an ideal work and family situation, and live in the Shire nearby Gracie Miranda, you may be able to hit the mats 5 times a week with no problem.

But if you get a new job or your hours change, or if you have a nagging injury that prevents you from heavy training, you may only be able to come once or twice a week. The key is to come when you can. Some people can only train once a week. But the important thing is to start, and to just come when you can.

Slow progress is better than no progress. Finally, weight lifting and yoga are excellent ways to supplement your game. Resistance training that strengthens your core and legs is particularly valuable, as is the muscular endurance that comes with weights. Yoga instills the importance of balanced breathing — many newer BJJ practitioners either breathe too much or not enough — and is outstanding for injury prevention and recovery.

The takeaway here is that sustainability is of the utmost importance. What if I can only train once a week?
