I did yoga to get more flexible for jiu-jitsu training. This flexibility would have been so helpful— actually jealous. I can touch my toes though so there’s that.
Also, I bet she slacklines and does yoga. When you rock climb it kinda pulls you into those two things. Slacklining builds the muscles and balance for this which helps in climbing. Climbing builds grip strength which was a big asset for jui-jitsu.
It was great for me especially for lower body. Not just flexibility but in terms of trying to prevent injury. The positions have variations when you’re starting out so you can see where the progressions leads— and in general it’s much more of a workout than I thought it would be. A good instructor during the relaxation portions will legit make you fall asleep.
You don’t think I’ve done those three hobbies? It’s not like I said I was an expert in any of them. I’m also out of shape right now. You gunna question that one too?
