Over 2hrs of techniques, tips and exercises to turn you into an absolute machine on the mats.

BJJ will allow you to build a baseline strength and fitness, but that’s where it’ll end. If you want to become more dominant, you need to invest in yourself and work on your strength off the mats. All the best BJJ competitors started as students who were hungry to grow at every opportunity. If your learning and growth stops when you leave your regular classes, you’re not becoming as good as you could be and that’s just a fact. Invest in your game, and you won’t believe the results.

No, that’s one of the best things about sandbag training. This instructional includes all the information you need to begin. All you will need is a sandbag and some sand! If you don't have a sandbag already then it would be smart to watch the chapters "Types of Sandbags" and "Training info" to advise you on styles of bags, starting weight, and best sand to use.

Yes, and I have personal experience to prove it. 11 years ago I broke my back, and my road to recovery took many years and I tried many different rehabilitation methods. To my own surprise, it was only when I started taking sandbag training seriously that I saw a dramatic improvement. I credit sandbag training for allowing me to get back to almost 100% functionality.

Absolutely not. The techniques I teach are just as useful to white belts as they are to high-level black belts. Strengthening your body functionally and safely will be a huge advantage at any stage of your journey, and will put you way ahead of the competition.

Definitely. Functional strength is a huge asset for a wide range of activities both in sport and in everyday life. I’ve had testimonials confirm that many different athletes, such as rugby players and mountain bikers, have had great results with this course. Strength is never, ever a disadvantage.

For sure. It’s yours to keep, and you can return to it any time you want to learn and develop. I designed the course to help you all the way through your BJJ journey.
