    My BJJ instructor uses rolls as a warm up and never take any time to explain it to new members... So, as a brand new white belt, THANK YOU so much for this drill !!

  • @Iron-Bridge
    Perfect. I was looking for this to improve my wrestling / bjj. 👍 On another note, always wondered how Steven Seagal survived by not doing any of this 😂😂.
  • @IfyouBelleve
    Is it normal for your right shoulder to be sore afterwards. How do we not injure our shoulders
  • @pascal0868
    A lost cause for me. My vertigo and dizziness issues killed my career in grappling. Pity. If taken to the ground I’m toast.
