How to Unf*ck Your Ankles for Better Grappling!

Bulletproof For BJJ Podcast

Episode 326: Have you ever hurt your ankle? Popped some ligaments but never did anything to fix it? BJJ folks are famous for not tapping to ankle locks which results in damage and ultimately some issues in life off the mats! JT and Joey explain how having a "dodgy" ankle can really mess up many other parts of your athletic ability - squatting, jumping and running. They then go deep on the exact steps you need to follow in order to rehab your stiff ankles and gradually build back strength and stability so you can confidence to grapple on your feet. There are surprise topics in this episode including the type of shoes you wear, how often are you bare foot and why Flip Flops are making your squat weaker.
