Yeah exactly. I usually need a couple days to recover after a tough jiu jitsu session. It’s more catabolic so I need the recovery time. In the future when I’m fitter I’m hoping to train perhaps 3 times a week in jiu jitsu and the other days tai chi with 1 rest day. 

Do you consciously alternate between jiu jitsu and tai chi to give your body the recovery time it needs? How many days for each?

I do jiu jitsu these days for cardio. It’s very intense and builds a huge sweat.

Then as you know I do Tai Chi to relax, stretch and release tension which is a lovely counter balance.

Running is great too but I’ll admit if I have the energy I’ll tend to lift weights rather than run. Or surf….😅

don’t say you don’t have time for running
