Solo Drills for Grappling & Functional Mobility

Here are some functional mobility drills that are particularly useful for grappling movements based off of those common in bjj and wrestling. Minimal to no equipment is needed, making these drills easy to do almost anywhere, anytime.

No particular order is necessary and you can mix and match and combine these however best fits your needs. There are hundreds of helpful movements like this, but these are some of my favorites I felt like sharing. Let me know what you think.

I think this is the absolute best set of solo drills I've seen.

[nicholasswanger]

It’s amazing how watching this 5 years after it was released, these drills have become more mainstream outside of just jiu jitsu

[jailhousefreak]

You make the absolute best videos I've found on YouTube. I am a father of a 9 yr old who trains BJJ 5 days a week and loves it. Thank you for the clarity and high quality of your videos.

If you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu this is your guy.

[John-zhld]

Oh man, makes it look so easy and smooth. Great practice over and over again.

[joyride]

Love this workout, so amazing even I never attended a jiu jitsu class

[chrisblanchard]

[tipshikes]

Awesome instructor very easy on the mind.

[TheNolo]

Very illustrative, simple but practical, not only for wrestlers and grapplers but for other kind of sports. Great job. Congratulations.

[HenkieDo]

This is great! I have a knee injury now and these exercises are great to keep the flow going on! Keep up the good work buddy!

[Alexlamb]

Possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen

[chrisbarrett]

A bit of Jiu-jitsu, Judo and of course breakdancing. My favourite move from Step up 3 was actually the hellicopter sit which you demonstrated perfectly. Thanks for the great vids, man

[hanzowong]

Superb drills, I wish I saw these drills 40 years ago! Thank you for sharing!

[cavsarge]

Thanks for sharing! Great for those of us who are limited to their availability to jiu-jitsu instruction in a small town. Great stuff to drill while waiting for the next opportunity to train with other practitioners.

[GUTOMOFFICIAL]

Perfect! I'm always lost during the movement parts of class slowing down the line.

[zzjumplin]

The best training I have seen ! Thank you so much for sharing!

[darrenhumphries]

Love it. Please keep the superb videos coming, they help massively.

[crazyhandshands]

That roll is so smooth it's like rolling a ball

2:40 to 3:13 those are some nice drills to use with a heavy bag. I also use a heavy bag for top transitions etc. I know this is an old video, but these are solid drills!
