Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from regular strength & nutrition programs?
Regular programs don't understand the beating your body takes on the mats or how an Over-40 body recovers from training. This is built specifically for aging grapplers by someone who's lived it - focusing on what actually works for BJJ, not just general fitness.
What's the difference between the Grappler's Academy vs Grappler's Inner Circle?
The Academy gives you the comprehensive blueprint with some group coaching elements, while the Inner Circle is fully customized 1-on-1 coaching built around your specific injuries, schedule, goals etc.
I already train 4-5 times a week. How will this fit into my schedule?
The program is designed to complement your mat time, not compete with it. Workouts are efficient and can be completed in 30-45 minutes, with flexible scheduling options
Will this help with my existing BJJ injuries?
While not a replacement for medical treatment, our program includes prehab/rehab components specifically targeting common BJJ problem areas like neck, shoulders, lower backs and knees
Is this program suitable for masters competitors?
Absolutely! The program includes scaling options and recovery protocols specifically designed for masters athletes who need to train smarter, not just harder
How soon can I expect to see results in my rolling?
Most practitioners report improved movement quality and reduced post-training soreness within 2-3 weeks, with significant performance benefits noticed after 6-8 weeks
Do I need special equipment or gym access?
There are a range of different workout options to suit most circumstances. From bodyweight-only to minimal equipment (resistance bands, kettlebells etc) to full gym programs. You choose the program that suits you best.
What if I'm currently dealing with an injury?
The program is modified to work around any injuries with a view to healing and strengthening any problem areas over time. We work with any of your current healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and pain management. We do, however, recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new training regime
How does this program prevent future injuries?
We focus on building bulletproof joints, improving movement patterns, and strengthening commonly neglected areas that lead to BJJ injuries
Will this make me too sore to roll effectively?
The program is designed to enhance, not hinder, your mat performance. Workouts are strategically programmed to avoid interference with your BJJ training schedule
Is this just another 'get fit quick' program?
No, this is a comprehensive system built on proven principles for long-term sustainability in BJJ. It's about building a foundation for lifetime performance, not quick fixes
