althugth i hae been doing BJJ for over ayear now it just takes soo damn long to upgrade in jiu jitsu most guys take 2 yrs to get a blue belt in my gym lol
No need to lie man you got nothing to prove to us just be yourself. Nothing wrong with a year and no Blue most guys at my gym dont get it unless there extremly good although there is one who got his in 6 months and its a huge head stratcher IMO. Ive been training since the end of May id just shooting to get it before the end of 09 almost a year and half since I started but even then I think its a stretch. Once my unemployement money comes in ill buy a Gi and go to 2 Gi classes a week to add on what I already do.

That's why I asked. The defense and the rest of your skills will come with practice but you won't be able to hold all of it together and use those skills if you're getting tired. Sprints are good, but they aren't enough. They help with explosive movement but you also need a good base fitness. Try to work a couple of three milers back into your week and see if that helps.
ok thanks. amy BTW this is my routine i TRY to stick with but its hard so i end up sometimes skipping a workout or two =( boxing mon tues thurs fri and sunday jiu jitsu tues weds and friday then i lift 2-3x a week just some basic lifts like bench, OH press, squat, chinups, rows, and SLDLs. i do it since strenght is my biggest advantage over my opponents. and ya u r rigt my cardio is abosultely terrible. im going to add in 2 3 milers a week and mayby add in a 3rd once i get decent at it. BTW is it better to jog 2 miles and work up to 3 or do 3 but some of it will be walking? thanks
Just do what you can until you are in shape enough to jog at a good pace for 25-30 minutes. If you have to walk some, that's fine.
