How important is flexibility for BJJ?

fitnesstraining

Flexibility helps but is not required. Some positions and guards demand flexibility (rubber guard, certain leg locks). Others work fine with average mobility. Flexibility reduces injury risk and opens more options. If you are inflexible, work on it gradually - yoga and stretching help. Do not force positions your body cannot handle.

Track Your BJJ Progress
