Higher Intensity For Better BJJ: Big Efforts for Bigger Results for Your Jiu-Jitsu

- Do you train with Big Game Energy? Do you Push yourself to bring Intensity to your training? Whether you are lifting or rolling, working with greater intensity has hidden benefits that people are missing out on. For greater Muscle Gains, greater gas tank for rolling and better overall work capacity you must have planned phases of pushing yourself in the name breaking plateaus:
1.) Can you go hard all the Time?
2.) Intensity VS Endurance
3.) Mental Energy for Physical Power
4.) Quality over Quantity
5.) Don't Play By The Rules to Improve
If you have never exposed yourself to a certain level of physical stress when you finally meet it- Game Over! By progressively pushing yourself outside your comfort zone in a structured way you increase your ability to perform under duress. This can only be done by brining a higher level of intensity!

I would argue that you need to manage fatigue over the days and weeks. Most people will push themselves until they fail, and then they lose consistency. Consistent intensity is important.
Yep 👍🏼
This is 100% accurate. I spent the first good part of my BJJ in a Gracie academy, only rolling once per week, doing very low intensity drilling the rest of the days. I switched to another gym in town when I decided it was time to learn the modern Jiu jitsu comp game, and we drill for 30mins then roll for 30 mins every day. At the place is filled with high level former wrestlers that keep the intensity super high. Needlesss to say, my Jiu jitsu improved drastically in a short period of time. This is an extreme example of low vs high intensity. But if I’m sure it holds true with less of a variance. Cheers mates.

I needed to hear this podcast.
Just competed in adult purple as a 40 year old. A conservative game just doesn't cut the mustard in competition. Andrew Wiltse also described the difference. Said something about how "technical black belts" are a dime a dozen and they rarely have success. Of course there are anomalies but by in large its the intensity that dictates the match.
Lesson learned. I am gonna look for hard spars every other round instead of going for easy/playful rolls.

23:24 That rest round set up was hilarious! 😂
I've been adding sprints on the beach on my off days of my BJJ training. It has made a difference in my ability to sustain my anaerobic threshold during rounds. At 55 (just for reference) it's made more of an immediate impact than steady state cardio has.
Started BJJ and I was doing 4 classes a week with 15-30mins of rolling per a class. Over about 4 months my body just kept getting more and more beat up. I've been out of BJJ for about 5 months now doing weekly chiropractic, physical therapy 2 times a week, and just recently started yoga to help recover from my rhomboid muscles and my lower back muscles in my ribs tightening and knotting up.
This is a personal example of someone (age 38 and out of shape), with no athletic background for the past 12-15 years, coming in and trying to constantly roll high intensity. The muscles in my back have been SLOWLY getting better but if I would have done less rolling and less intensity I wouldn't have been out of BJJ for almost half a year.
You must have been enjoying it so much to train that hard without an athletic background! Are you going to focus on a basis of strength and conditioning/mobility before going back in?
@@RollingWithRoland Hey Roland. Yeah, I did multiple years of Kempo Jujutsu in Highschool and a year or two of Tae-Kwon-Do when I was around 12. Loved martial arts but grew up with video games being my babysitter as a child.
I've started to do some basics of the Bulletproof for BJJ and realized I need to lower most of these exercises down to 2 sets starting out and slowly work towards 3-4 sets. I'm also continuing Physical Therapy and I've joined a local Yoga studio which majority of my workouts are done there. 45-60 minute classes of slow flow, hot yoga, or barre and my flexibility and strength has been noticeably improving.
I've wanted to get back into BJJ but I can still tell after 7'ish months that my muscles between my shoulder blades are still messed up.
I'm determined to get back into BJJ. It just seems I'm currently the turtoise and not the hare and I'm going to have to slowly build up to be in BJJ for the long game.
Excellent subject that many in the jitz world need to hear.
Isnt the optimal way to train polarized intensity just like a typical endurance pro athelte or good amateur
By typical I mean they do 2-4 super hard sessions something like 5x5 minutes max with 3-5 rest
or 3x10 etc at 90% max HR
on top of that doing as many hours as possible of technique training aiming for 55-75% HR
ideally as many hours as possible
100% true. First match in a tournament will reveal to you where your high intensity/ max heart rate fitness is at.
Hearing JT explain max training intensity and then applying it to rolling gave me scares of getting highlighted really hard 😂
Is highlighted when a gi rubs across your face and leaves a mark?
@jtom416 collecting footage for his Highlight reel. Getting points and submissions in quick succession.

Brilliant
This one was interesting for me. I'm 43, 5'10", 195lbs, blue belt. My game has a tendency to be slower paced, lots of control, and time my bursts of energy carefully as to not gas out. However, I tend to use my strength and weight to keep the control. I would like to have more ability to keep my pace up and use intensity. I do have a hard time dealing with people that are fast paced and high intensity, even if they are much smaller than me. I can work well from bottom half or closed guard, because it lets me slow the pace a bit. I was thinking that I needed to work on getting my open guard to be much better, but maybe I just need to figure out how to maintain a higher level of intensity. Thanks guys.
You are almost my mirror image. Same age weight and height. Just got my purple. I would say getting better at guard, especially at open guard which is literally what I started working on will help you control the match and save energy so that y I can go intense when needed but not the whole time.
Good episode fellas
Thanks!
this is true with any skill acquisition. grinding stuff you know you can get more smooth, you can get more consistent, but you will still hit plateaus. It is through pushing yourself with new skills that you break through plateaus. Intuitively it does make sense... that in order for skill levels to increase you have to push the cutting edge of your boundaries.
I plan on watching this later on my way to class so if you guys answer this question in the video disregard this comment. But. How does one Jiu Jitsero, like myself, strike the balance between bringing a level of intensity that feels challenging, and being a good training partner. There are so many times i want to push the pace. Basically push the intensity right to the edge of still being able to perform the technique proper, but i dont for fear of being "that guy" on the mats. Any advice would really help.
There’s a time to go hard, and a time to be more playful. Similarly there’s people to roll harder with, and people to roll lighter with.
After I listened to this, I tried to go intense at my last roll, and got told off for being spazzy lol just blue belch things
Your joints and ligaments are not worth bringing the guy that 'wants it more'.
