Yoga for fighters
If you’re lacking flexibility this is a course designed for you. You’ll find the tools to correct your posture and reach a better range of movement. I’ve chosen the poses that have helped me in my journey and that I use in my classes to assist my students reach a better degree of mobility. Most of them fighters. Wether is BJJ or Kickboxing, the hip flexors used are the same ones. To kick high or recover guard placing your foot high up on the opponent’s chest when your guard seems to be entirely passed. Or even play inverted guard and attacks. It’s all the same. You need a flexible and mobile body that’ll respond to your commands. That takes a little bit of time spent doing the right exercises and you’ll notice an improvement in just a matter of weeks. Everything you’ll find here has been tried and it works. Trust the journey and if you have any questions feel free to email me!
Happy fighting!
