JT & Joey
About this episode

The age old jiu jitsu sayings rendering strength useless with impeccable technique were maybe true for a period of time. Buuuut now those big and strong guys are also doing BJJ. Have you been told to stop using strength in rolls? We say, f%$@ that noise. While having technical prowess is really the ultimate goal, your strength is also a skill that you need to train. Getting stronger will only help your jiu jitsu, and if it's something you've left out of the regime, it's time to add it in now... (Do it using our app if you feel so incline)
