An obstacle that keeps many athletes away from strength training is the false concept that building strength is too time consuming since 3-5 hours a week is supposedly needed to hit all the major muscle groups. The reality is that a regularly-practicing jiu jitsu fighter only needs 1-2 hours of additional strength work to see big improvements in their game. True strength movements hit the entire body as a unit instead of focusing on “muscle groups” and drastically increase the strength of the hips, which power virtually every movement in BJJ. The program below is a practical approach to strength training for someone who is interested in supplementing their BJJ game based on a formula that I have applied time and time again over the years to prepare myself and others for the toughest of martial arts competitions. —Danny Clark, SFG
