  • Best workout ever?

    Just a random thought, but I think a tough BJJ/submission grappling class is the best overall workout.

    I've done a lot of different activties from running, basketball, kickboxing, biking, weight lifting, swimming, and even bowling but nothing compares to grappling.

    I know that interval training is the key to better body performance, and it seems that the type of workout that you get with grappling (aerobic plus anaerobic) is awesome and unique among physical activities.

    I still run up to a 10k, but doing BJJ only three times a week is what really keeps my in shape and gets results with losing weight and building strength.

    Does anyone know if there have been any studies concerning BJJ or grappling? I know that there have been a number for running, swimming, etc. for how many calories they burn, their overall effect on the metabolism, and other areas of interest.

    Any thoughts?

      Grappling by far is better

      If you were to take someone and had them only do one activity to stay in shape, I think BJJ/grappling would be the best.

      I wouldn't want to do JUST swimming or JUST gymnastics, but I would want to do JUST BJJ. This excludes "extra" training like weight lifting or running.

      Grappling has the most unique combination of aerobic and anaerobic conditioning of any sport. This should definitely be studied.
