Sean O'Malley recently defeated Aljamain Sterling via TKO. This sparked the conversation between JT & Joey about the elite grappler Vs Elite Striker debate as to who would prevail. This recent fight shows that a superior striker in the form of Sean (Who also grapples) took out an ultra tough grappler Aljamain ( who also strikes.) There are many examples of this classic combat style match up where grapplers have gotten the better of strikers. That said if you cannot get your hands on your opponent how can you win as a grappler. The age old debate rages on- let us know what you think in the comments.

Do you like to get stronger all year round? Train a lot but have found your gains...Plateauing? You are stuck doing the same old workout over and over again but it has stopped getting you results. One of the biggest problems is a lack of progressive overload and structured exercise progression.
A structured program is better than just doing a single workout to keep you gaining all year long. There is a lot of time and energy that has built and refined the Bulletproof For BJJ programs. Knowing how to transition between programs is another key element of continual improvement. The boys discuss how you can modify your training and not use the  "Porrada" mentality as going hard everyday won't get you stronger. Planning and staying consistent is key to get your M.E.D. -Minimum Effective Dose, so you keep getting stronger and your JIu-Jitsu gets better.

Do you always feel sore after BJJ? Suffering big body aches from rolling? The Jiu-Jitsu grind on the body is real. Here in lies the physical cost of Porrada- physical pain on many levels. JT & Joey discuss their own experiences of post rolling soreness and how to properly deal with it. They clear up one of the biggest misunderstandings in BJJ- The fact that it is resistance training from all angles. This result is very intense Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) combine this with the impact trauma of submissions, getting stacked, coping a Knee Ride or a mean crossface! 
To deal with this accumulation of damage it's important not to ignore the causes and rely on pain killers or anti-inflammatories. It starts with a disciplined approached to not roll to the death and if the intensity of the exchange is outside of your control implement strategies to have lighter rolls to alternate your intensity on the mat.
