There are so many warm-up movements out there, but these are 20 of my favorite. If you pick 5-8 you will be warmed up in no time, or do a bunch for conditioning! Have fun training!
First session yesterday. Warmup consisted of shrimping, which kind of went okay, but then reverse and side-shrimping. Never felt more like a fish out of water. So I had to find this video. Most important takeaway: someone with a brown belt acknowledged that those last two drills are the hard ones. :)
Just did my first day and not only did I look like a moron (ineffectivly spun in a circle while trying to do side shrimps) i was completely gassed. Meanwhile a 16 year old girl at a quarter of my weight was breezing through with perfect technique, no sweating, and I dont even think she was breathing hard. Good on her, but it was a tough day....
@@kirklandwassabi8619 same had my first class yesterday can’t wait to go again but I looked like an idiot with my late claps or whatever to the instructor I felt so outta place
Had my first jiu jitsu class last night and the warm ups they did freaked me out more than any of the drilling! This was exactly what I was looking for so I can practice!
This was exactly being taught by my coach . Im a beginner. Its really hard to start when u have low stamina, muscle strechness etc. Thanks for the video!
@@benegli2847 It did get better, a lot. Still not perfect but I remembered this video helped me a lot adapting to new movements that my body was not used to. 1.5 years into BJJ and loving it. Thanks again :)
@@hamz8790 in terms of doing these warmup moves, definitely becomes so much easier after 3 years! On the actual BJJ technique on the other hand, still getting my ass kicked more times than i'd like to admit lol
These movements look easy until you actually try to do them. I went to my first BJJ class today and the drills kicked my ass (I'm super out of shape 😑). I can't wait to go back tomorrow!
Good question!!! Anything that increases your body’s temperature for AT LEAST 3-5 minutes is good. You can do a general warm-up like running, squats, jumping jacks, or you could do a more sports specific warmup like the video. A mix of movements is good for skill improvement, and it makes it more fun.
It’s something to work up to. Make sure you can do a forward roll without any problems first. Then practice sitting on your butt and rolling back, without going all the way over. The key to the roll is to tuck your head to one side (ear to shoulder), and everyone naturally has a side they prefer. Ask someone to spot you until you can do one. Have fun!
The best way to get into BJJ shape is to do it my friend. I have a degree in Exercise Science, and of course regular exercise will help, but there’s no time like the present to get started for real. A good academy will be gentle and understanding with a new person. These drills are great for building conditioning, but some are best on mats, Hope that helps.
I started when I was 38. Now I am 43 and feel good. I know some older guys at my current gym here in Japan. The oldest is 70. There is one guy who is over 60 and a purple belt and the dude is pretty strong and agile. A guy who is like 58 a purple belt and pretty strong. And there are quite a few guys in their 40's. My sensei is 46 and often spars 2 times a day (morning and evening class). My advice is start light and take it easy. You are going to lose a lot in the beginning - which is like a couple of years and then some. Do some cross training and other exercises. Currently I do jiu-jitsu 6 days a week, a couple days of judo, some yoga everyday and a few days a week of body weight exercises.
At age 59 I recently reached Master in Kung Fu San Soo, but I switched schools to one that incorporates KFSS, Krave Maga and BJJ because I wanted a greater challenge. It's kicking my butt, compared with the guys in their 20s, but I love it and I'm learning a great deal. It really is a chess match and I intend to keep going as long as I can. This video is a terrific resource for me and I've saved it to file for continued reference.
How are you a brown belt and doing your hip slides wrong? You are scooting your butt out with the wrong leg. The leg on bottom should draw up flat on the mat in order to get your knee in and recover guard. The leg on top should Plant the foot and push your hip out or do the "shrimp" motion. Shrimping is a Judo term not bjj. Other than that this is a great video

Welcome to Jiu Jitsu!!! I’m glad this video could help a little, keep going, your body will become a machine with consistency.
A *shrimp* out of water 😂
I always feel like I’m the only one looking like a moron in warmups. The opposite of graceful lol
Everyone does at some point! Hope the video helps.
At that stage right now! hahahaha

Glad I could help! Stick with it!!!
Me too!! The warmups was i dont know its like 2 hours before the lesson😂
same when i was attempting them i felt like i was embarrassing myself
Same here just started last night and I learned the shrimp, front roll, back roll, and a shoulder lock! It was an awesome experience
@@LovetheSavior it’s been on my mind a lot! I would love to make more, thanks for watching!

You’re welcome!
be the best you can be
Dude, great video demo.
No nonsense, straight up fundamentals.
Thanks for taking the time to produce this.
Happy rolling.
You’re are very welcome! Thank you for watching 👊🏻
Had my first bjj session today. The side shrimp kicked my ass. I looked like a fish out of water. Thanks for the video.
It will get better! Glad you started training 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Also look up videos of bjj hip slide or "shrimping" so you can see it done proper

@@aldr1an how you doing 3 years on?

I just started BJJ 2 days ago. Doing the side shrimp for the first time is a humbling experience 😂
Very exciting! The side shrimp still humbles me. Keep training!
I found it extra helpful to slow the video down to 1/4 speed. Helps me visualize the moves better.
I'm sweating just watching lol
Side shrimp, best advice I was given and can give, "it's like you're stirring a cauldron"
Good advice!
maybe cross feet
Cross collar chokes, somersaults, side shrimping combined is the perfect judo and bjj nightmare.
Yes haha!
Yes its no nonsense our coach use to use this warmups to us.... 😊😊
i really enjoy the clarity of all your videos! i am just starting out and find this particularly helpful
+Obediah Garcia awesome! Keep training hard!
Your movement is butter smooth. Super helpful demo.
Thank you!
Thanks for shooting, really helpful for beginners.
Glad I could help! Train hard!
Just what I was looking for!
+SketchyJeffy excellent! Glad I could help!
Thank you for such an awesome video! Subscribed.
Thank you for the feedback and the sub!!!!
Pretty impressive backward roll, I was never able to get it.. I will practice!
Thanks! Just go slow and remember to tuck your head to one side by putting your ear on your shoulder!
thanks for the warm ups they're really good and they're similar to the ones we use in the gym I joined. I needed to practice them.
Thanks for watching! Keep training and have fun!
Great stuff sir!
Thanks for watching!

Glad you started training! How was day 2 and 3?
wow just starting out--thank you!!
You’re welcome! Keep training and let me know how it’s going!
excellent video
Thank you for watching!
Thank you !
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Finally found it.
Thanks for the video. Big help to get the warmups down so at least I don’t look like an idiot the whole class lololol.
Thanks for watching! If Jiu Jitsu warm-ups we’re easy, everyone would do them. Keep up the training!
As a white belt this was fantastic thanks Ben!
Glad it was helpful!
This is good stuff
Thank you!
What are your thoughts on jumping jacks and squats as warm-ups as well? Thanks for the great video!

Great video! What's the actual name of that one where we do the shrimp and do a sit up, can I call it like that?
Not sure which one you mean sorry. From this video?
Rock overs screw me up so badly during warmups ugh!
Great
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video for a beginner like me
Glad you liked it! How long have you been training?
3 months but only able to go once a week due to work schedule. It’s been a life changer.
Thank you … I am white belt going try some at home 👍
Excellent! Keep up the training!
Im scared to do the backward roll, because im afraid i might snap my neck or something 😱

@@benegli2847 ok thanks for the tip!

Omg Superb .useful.

Thanks for the Sub! Glad it could help!
@@benegli2847 hope u do back
is this a good way to get in shape at home without attending jiu jitsu classes? I do plan on doing a jiu jitsu class eventually

Never was able to master the cartwheel. Scares the shit outta me- I'm afraid I'm going to break my neck.
I don't even know how to start.
Start with your legs low and slowly get closer to vertical. Make sure your arms are straight as well!
I got dizzy when I did forward roll on my 1st day BJJ training. Is this normal?
Very normal! Backward rolls can be even worse for most people.
Edwin Sianturi it’s motion sickness, but if they don’t stop definitely check with your GP.
Side shrimp was so tricky for me 😬
It’s a crazy one!
Hello. Is 40 years of age to old to start jiujitsu? No previous martial arts experience. Thank you.
It’s never too late! Find a good academy that has a good mix of people that live the Jiu Jitsu life style!

Im new and i looked like an idiot when doing the shrimps😂
It’s ok! Keep going and become a shrimping machine!
I do jiu Jiu-jitsu I’m 9 years old and I know all of those things and BTW I have the black in gray belt
That’s awesome! Keep up the good work!
I will do them cos I’m starting out bjj
Excellent!
How many reps for each?
I usually go the length of the mat room once per exercise. 10-20 reps depending on the move works to.
0:40 1:35 2:40 3:00 keeping these time stamps to practice the ones I have to learn lol
Thanks for watching! Keep up the good practice 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
3000 likes!
Thank you!!!
Had been doing Jiu Jitsu for a year. I suck with rock overs lmao
Rickover’s are hard! Stay really low, and don’t drag you back foot 🦶🏻
@@benegli2847 Thank you for the tips 🙏 Awesome video btw
@OriginalSniperLol you’re welcome!
I feel tired just by looking at it!
It gets easier!
I suck so bad at the side shrimp
The only harder warm-up movement would be a backflip lol. I was horrible at side shrimps as a white belt!
@@benegli2847 lol well at least it's normal. im a white belt. I'll just keep at it!
cross collar choke: "the mudskipper"
Yes!
