World Champion Andre Galvao gives us the BJJ tip of the day. Galvao is one of the most dynamic fighters/competitiors in the world and info from him is highly sought after:
Andre Galvao: "Always begin your training session with lots of repetitions. Repeat teh basic submissionsarm-locks, triangles, omoplata, kimura and a choke. Do each 10 to 20 times from each side. Then practice something you have learned and like for your game. This should last 30 to 45 minutes only so you don't get mentally tired. I prefer to do that inthe mornings on my first training after breakfast. I follow this with a long stretch session. This kind of training always kept me sharp with my submissions and made them tight. But remember to repeat from each side it is always better to fight with a weapon on each hand than only one side! "
