31 min - Kettlebells and BJJ – A Perfect Match
Today’s topic includes two my favorite things – kettlebells and BJJ! If you’ve spent any amount of time training martial arts or coaching combat athletes, you’ve probably heard that kettlebell training can be incredibly beneficial for these athletes.
You will hear things like…
- Kettlebell Training will improve functional strength.
- Training with kettlebells is excellent for improving grip strength.
- Kettlebell training is a great conditioning tool for combat athletes.
I agree with the above statements, but they are pretty generic. In this podcast, Kettlebells and BJJ – a Perfect Match, I will dive into some very specific details on how kettlebell training can be very advantageous for grapplers.

29 min - Everyone Should Squat
The squat is a fundamental human movement pattern that also happens to be a wildly popular strength training exercise.
Unfortunately, the squat pattern is often misunderstood, misapplied and taught incorrectly. In this podcast, Mike talks about why adults cannot squat like babies, how hip architecture plays a role in movement and also how anthropometry will influence your overall squat posture.
If squats hurt your knees, find a good coach and see if you have some technique or movement flaws you can clean up to start squatting properly.

30 min - Mobility, Flexibility and Movement Competency
Over the last decade, mobility, flexibility and movement competency have become hot topics!
While there’s endless information out there on mobility, flexibility and movement competency, you might be wondering just how much time you really need to spend on these things.
The answer, like many things, is that it depends.
For example, an elite grappler demands way more of their body than a 40-year old who’s trying to lose ten pounds.
When wondering how much time you should spend on mobility, flexibility and movement competency, ask yourself this: What am I asking of my body?
Join Mike Perry as he digs a bit deeper into this topic!
