Core strength and Brazilian jiu-jitsu really go hand in hand. It’s hard to have one without the other, but building your core in the ways that truly support your training can be difficult.

Grab a stability ball and get to work! (It’s also a good idea to try these on a surface that won’t break your face if you spaz out.)
