How To Relax And Roll Longer Blueprint

Roll five, six, even seven rounds without gassing out, and be the fresher man while you do it.

The guy doing CrossFit five days a week is usually one of the first to gas on the mat. It isn't because he's out of shape. Gassing out in jiu jitsu usually isn't a cardio problem at all. It's an energy-waste problem, and the biggest leak is one you can plug tonight.

Everyone tells you to relax when you roll. Almost nobody tells you how. This is the energy system underneath your rolling: how to breathe under live pressure, how to stay calm in bad positions, how to actually rest mid-roll, and how to drain your opponent's tank while you're refilling your own. Pause, let him burn himself out, then attack when you're back at a full energy bar. From every position, including the bad ones.

• Resting inside a position instead of waiting for the round to end
• Breathing under live pressure, not just between rounds
• Dead weight versus tense weight, and when each one pays
• Recovery positions you can use mid-roll, top and bottom
• Making your opponent spend energy while you spend none
• More stamina before you do a single minute of conditioning
• Matt's own cardio routine on top, built to transfer to rolling rather than to running, including the work worth skipping

Fix the leak and you roll more rounds with less effort, which means more mat time in the same hour. Your usual three rounds a night become five, six, seven. You don't just roll longer. You improve faster, because you're getting more reps while everyone else is sitting out gassed.

Relax, roll longer, improve faster. Works in gi and no gi. One-time payment, lifetime access.
