James Deirmendjian a strength and conditioning coach specialising in combat and tactical athletes who ALSO competes in BJJ, fighting against much younger opponents.

In this episode James and I touch on many topics, including… The most important aspects of fitness for winning matches in BJJ and how to develop it The difference between getting tired in a match vs not recovering between matches How to schedule weightlifting and cardio so they don't interfere with each How to recover more fully between workouts Training to maintain your cognitive abilities under stress And much more.
