Roger Gracie on How to Strength Train for BJJ

Brazillian jiu-jitsu legend Roger Gracie joins Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey to talk legacy, longevity and why BJJ might be the most complete training system on the planet. . We break down how the 10-time world champion built his game, why technique always beats brute strength, and the three lifts he believes every BJJ athlete should prioritise. Roger explains why you don’t need to ‘get fit’ before you start, how rolling builds resilience under pressure, and why jiu-jitsu forces you to rethink your sleep, nutrition and recovery if you want to keep progressing.. Along the way, we get into the 'Gracie Challenge', the very origin of the sport, the explosion of BJJ into the mainstream, whether strength really matters on the mat, and why Roger believes Olympic inclusion could fundamentally change – even damage – the art. . If you’ve ever thought about starting jiu-jitsu, competing for the first time, or simply want a smarter way to build strength and mental toughness, this one’s essential viewing.
