Improving Athleticism in Jiu-Jitsu
To enhance athleticism, a novice grappler should focus on three key components: skill, tactics, and overall athleticism. Improvements in technical skills can significantly boost conditioning, as skilled grapplers use their energy more efficiently during matches. Additionally, understanding tactical decisions in grappling allows athletes to conserve energy and exert it where most necessary. Incorporating athleticism through structured training in the gym with controllable variables is essential for achieving specific outcomes.
