About Josh "YoGi NoGi" Stockman

Josh Stockman is about as flexible as any circus performer you’ve seen. He can put both legs behind his head with ease like BJ Penn in his prime, he can do splits, and all sorts of crazy poses any 20-year-old wishes he could do but believes he never could – let alone people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. They all can get a lot more flexible though – and Josh understands the key. When you stretch, you aren’t making your muscles longer as many people believe – he explains: “if that were the case, when you weren’t stretching, the long muscles would be hanging off your body.”

When you stretch, you are training your nerves to relax and not cause muscle contraction. Evidence of this is that surgery patients under anesthesia, with nerves essentially put to sleep, can be put through extreme ranges of motion – just as flexible as Josh. While conscious; however, your nerves and the range of motion they have learned are what is stopping you. They simply need to be retrained to accept a new range of motion as safe and efficient. Stretching his/this way, consistently, 10-15 minutes a day will make you a new person in 3 months.

Josh has developed extreme flexibility through Yoga and has a 10-15-minute program to increase your range of motion, making you more maneuverable and less injury-prone. Early in his BJJ/MMA career a neck injury nearly ended his training. Two bulging cervical discs had doctors telling him to give up combat sports. With all other types of exercise causing pain, he resorted to yoga and began to see improvements. Three years later he sent the doctors the picture below!

What started as a low-impact workout ending up helping his spine and other body parts heal, with increased blood flow, scar tissue breakdown, and proper skeletal alignment. An added benefit was a more open BJJ game with new attack angles and fewer uncomfortable positions.

Benefits of using yoga for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Your Guard Will Be 10x Harder To Pass

When you are flexible you are more comfortable in stacked and stretched positions that compromise most guard games, and you can almost always recover and latch onto a leg.

Single-Leg Takedowns and X Guard Will Be Much Less Effective Against You

Such attacks work, in part, by taking advantage of the lack of flexibility of the human body, but… if you can stretch deeply, it takes many sweep and takedown options away. We watched Josh sparring with a world champion black belt who couldn’t take him down because of his flexibility.

New Attack Angles Will Open Up

With new ranges of motions for your entire body, you can move into and out of positions that many opponents simply do not anticipate.

Defense Becomes Easier

The same new-found range of motion that can help your offense will also allow you to move in ways that make you more difficult to submit.
