holy crap that stuff is awesome.
I just go the ginastica natural dvd and it is really really cool. I am extremely non-flexible and its something that has always hindered me but all this stuff is based on bjj movements and how to stretch within the movements.
any else do it?

I've done a little bit. They had a few exercises in Gracie Mag a while back. I've never done a full routine though. We do some of the movements in our warm ups I like what I've done just haven't gotten around to researching it further.

What does you basic routine look like so far?

11th dan in Parnes Jiu-Jitsu, it's one more than Ransom's. Real PJJ goes to 11!

we use it almost every class for warm ups...
1 min of hindu pushups to a sit out each side
1 min of side leg swings
1 min of bridge/shrimp to the knees
1 min 8 count jumping jacks
1 min lizard crawls w/ rolls included on call
repeat 2x and usually include 50 squats or lunges

See, I was thinking more along the lines of...

LFML :).

I don't have to win every time, it doesn't bother me in the slightest to get tapped. So I'm able to learn the ins and outs without my ego getting in the way. - Eu

It kinda looks like contemporary dance :) Looks fun though


There's no such thing as 'just a game'

I got the dvd from budovideos. Last time I checked they had it on sale.

as of right now I just follow along the dvd. Its the same guy who does the stuff for gracie mag but its 14 extersizes and takes about 25 minutes. I sure do like it, that is going to be my new day off excersizes i think.

it does look like a cross of modern dancing and break dancing or something. they show cobrina and galvao doing a bunch of stuff in the opening credits that is pretty impressive and makes thier movement on the mat make a lot more sense.

Sorry but I don't think that would do you much good in a street fight.

j/k

Where do they sell an instructional for it?

That level of conditioning is on par to Parkour. Very impressive stuff...

Did 'em when I was a young'en as part of my trainings. yea it really helps in regards to flexibility etc esp at a later age.

Makes one supple ( yea a little like the the pic in Dave's post ).

Thanks to Chaz, Captcha's ass been capped!

Neither does weight / endurance training or pulling guard for that matter. You dont train to go 3 rounds in the street. It is Jits sport specific training routine using body weight strength, of joint mobility, and grappling position transitioning training. Ive blended some of this with sets of military, KB swings for a nice conditioning workout.

I know, that's why I said I was joking.

I actually started using some of these exercises during off days. It's really helpful for wanting to exercise in a manner that won't endanger my children as they run around me in circles.

I need to grab the DVD and put a routine together.

this is all the stuff we incorporate into our daily jiu-jitsu warmups and workouts.  i didn't even kno it was ginastica until now... it's just what we've always done.  i'll likely get the videos so i can learn some new stuff.  what i like about it is it incorporates basic jiu-jitsu movements and positions.  it is also a good work out and stretches.  one thing i'd like to get from the videos is better breathing techniques.
