Myofascial Release

Learn to use foam rollers, lacrosse balls, and specialized tools to release muscle tightness and fascial restrictions. Foam rolling for BJJ recovery helps maintain tissue quality between training sessions and addresses the specific tightness grapplers develop from constant pulling and pressure. Self-myofascial release is essential for long-term training health.

Professional Recovery Tools for Martial Artists

Access the same recovery modalities used by professional athletes—right here in Bluffdale.

Cold Plunge Therapy
Reduce inflammation, accelerate muscle recovery, and improve mental resilience through cold water immersion. Cold plunge after BJJ training helps grapplers reduce soreness and recover faster between sessions. Muay Thai athletes use cold therapy to manage shin inflammation and joint stress from striking. The cold plunge is one of the most effective recovery methods for martial artists training multiple times per week.
Dry Sauna Sessions
Promote detoxification, improve cardiovascular health, and enhance recovery through heat therapy. Sauna for jiu jitsu athletes supports muscle relaxation after intense rolling sessions and helps maintain training consistency. Regular sauna use complements cold plunge therapy for complete recovery—many athletes alternate between heat and cold for optimal results.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Accelerate healing, reduce recovery time from injuries, and enhance overall performance through increased oxygen delivery to tissues. HBOT supports BJJ athletes returning from injury—whether recovering from neck pain, shoulder issues, or rib injuries. This advanced recovery method also benefits older athletes who need additional support maintaining training consistency as they age.
Mobility & Movement Training
Improve flexibility, range of motion, and movement quality through guided stretching and mobility work. Better mobility translates directly to better technique and reduced injury risk on the mats.

Your Questions Answered

How to recover from BJJ training?

Effective recovery from jiu jitsu training combines multiple approaches. Immediately after class, use cold plunge therapy to reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. Follow with foam rolling to address fascial tightness. On rest days, incorporate mobility work and light stretching. For intense training weeks, add sauna sessions and consider HBOT if dealing with lingering soreness or minor injuries. Consistent recovery allows you to train more frequently without breaking down.

Do I need any experience with recovery work to join?

No experience is required. The guided sessions teach you proper techniques for using each recovery modality. Coaches provide clear instruction on cold plunge protocols, sauna timing, mobility exercises, and proper use of recovery tools. Most athletes start with guided sessions before transitioning to independent open recovery hours.

Will this replace my regular BJJ or Muay Thai classes?

No—this program complements your martial arts training, it doesn't replace it. Recovery work helps you get more out of your regular classes by keeping your body healthy and prepared. Many athletes use recovery sessions on rest days or after particularly intense training periods.

Can I participate if I'm recovering from an injury?

Yes, with appropriate modifications. If you're currently injured or returning from injury, speak with the coaching staff before your first session. They can guide you toward recovery modalities that support healing without aggravating your condition. Many athletes use this program specifically to accelerate rehabilitation under professional guidance.

Is this included in my membership?

Recovery & Performance access varies by membership level. Some memberships include full recovery access, while others offer it as an add-on. Contact the academy for specific membership details and pricing options. Many athletes from Riverton, Draper, and South Jordan find the recovery add-on worth the investment for training longevity.

Can non-members attend recovery sessions?

Recovery & Performance services are currently available to Crown BJJ members only. If you're not yet a member but interested in experiencing the recovery program, schedule a facility tour to see the equipment and learn more about membership options that include recovery access.

How often should BJJ athletes train?

Training frequency depends on your recovery capacity. With proper recovery protocols like cold plunge, mobility work, and adequate rest, many athletes train 4-5 times per week consistently. Without structured recovery, 2-3 sessions per week may be your limit before overuse injuries develop. The Recovery & Performance program helps you maximize training frequency by keeping your body healthy and prepared.

 "My son started the youth BJJ program at Crown BJJ six months ago, and it's been life-changing. He was hesitant about martial arts at first, but the instructors made him feel welcome from day one. They're exceptional with kids—teaching real jiu-jitsu techniques, respect, and discipline without ever being intimidating. Now he counts down the days until his next class. We've also seen remarkable improvements in his confidence, self-control, and academic focus. Worth every penny and every minute of the drive from Draper."
