89. Cross Training Without Burning Bridges
2026-04-07
Cross training has gone from controversial to completely normal in modern jiu-jitsu — but is it all upside?
In this episode of The Gi Spot, Rach and Kaz break down the rise of cross training in the BJJ scene, looking at the benefits, the backlash, and the unspoken rules that come with training outside your home gym.
From faster skill development to gym politics and ego clashes, we explore how cross training can level up your game — or quietly cause problems if done wrong.
Because in jiu-jitsu, it’s not just about where you train…
it’s about how you show up when you get there.
