Is Crossfit Training Good for BJJ?

JT & Joey
About this episode

Have you done a Crossfit Workout? Can you complete a W.O.D. and then roll in the same day? For some of you Crossfit is a way of life as much as BJJ, for others it might seem like a crazy sport for hardcore people who like to suffer.(Coincidence?) Both BJJ and Crossfit have massive dedicated communities who live and die by the Cultures credos. Though they may seem to be polar opposite the 2 cultures have more in common than you might realise.
JT & Joey break down what Crossfit does well and the value that our BJJ Fam can derive from another group of hardcore, dedicated people. They also highlight where it can go wrong and how this is avoidable to get the best out of this intense sport that mirrors our own.
