Build a New Level of Resilience in BJJ by Optimizing Your Active Mobility

This course was created by Dr. Valentine Ngo, PT, DPT. After starting her own physical therapy practice, she started to treat more and more BJJ athletes and saw a common denominator between all of them: a long laundry list of old injuries at multiple joints that they've been working around until they couldn't anymore. As a BJJ practitioner and competitor herself for more than 2 years now, she understands the strain and demand of this sport AND why people love it so much. While she can only help so many people in the clinic, she hopes to educate more athletes in this sport on their injuries, bodies, and their potential for movement. Using an online platform makes this information much more accessible and manageable for the BJJ athlete, and so Resilience in BJJ was born.

Absolutely. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, our course is designed to benefit all levels. It focuses on improving mobility, strength, and recovery, which are essential for every BJJ practitioner. Many of the exercises shown are also modifiable to increase or decrease difficulty, and these modifications are noted in the video and/or description box.

The course emphasizes the importance of structured warm-ups and targeted mobility and strength training for the areas of the body that endure the most stress during BJJ. These areas are often involved in complex movements, prolonged pressure, and vulnerable positions on the mats. Through consistent and intentional training that focuses on control, range of motion, and joint stability, practitioners can build resilience in these high-demand regions. Not only does this help improve overall performance and efficiency during rolls, but it also plays a critical role in reducing the risk of both acute and overuse injuries. By taking a proactive approach to injury prevention, athletes can extend their training longevity and return to the mats feeling stronger and more confident.

Our course is designed to help optimize recovery and address chronic limitations. While this course can be completed from a proactive approach, it can also be used to improve old joint restrictions that result from previous injuries. Exercises from this program should generally be done in a pain-free range. If you're experiencing a new major injury or painful episode, it's always best to consult with a physical therapist or doctor prior starting any new training program.
