Before you start any sort of physical activity, it’s important you warm up effectively.
That doesn’t mean you have a million press-ups and exhausting yourself before you get down to business.
What it does means is you need to do a functional warm-up that will prepare you for the activity ahead. This will help you get the most out of the session, and prevent injury.
There are a bunch of ways you can do warm-up, but one of our favourite ways to warm up at our academy is with animal drills.
Animals drills are a lot of fun and can give you a full-body workout. Even better, the animal drills we use accurately represent some of the movements you’ll use in Jiu Jitsu.
To help you get started, and give you an idea of what you’ll be doing in our warm-up, we’ve put together a short video covering some of our favourite animal drills.
