  • Prisma under the IBJJF World No-Gi 2025 banner, holding her silver medal
    “I started using MatStrong while coming back from a spiral finger fracture, and that’s when I really appreciated having a program that could work around what my body needed. I could make adjustments without feeling like I was falling behind or sacrificing my time on the mats. Now I’m fully healed and getting ready to compete again!”

  • Hector on the mats, kneeling and controlling a training partner's arm
    “MatStrong helps me take the guesswork out of strength and conditioning. Between work, family, and jiu-jitsu, my schedule isn't always consistent, so I appreciate the flexibility. They also take my injuries into account and tailor the program around what I can do. That helps me stay consistent while still making time for the mats.”

  • Josue on the second-place step of the podium at The Revolution 58 BJJ competition, medal around his neck
    “There is not much for me to think about or do. I just follow the workout that is tailored for me and adjust whatever I need to adjust.”

  • Fred in a Villains rash guard at his gym, pointing at the logo
    “Training has been great. Really enjoying the workout routines. There's new exercises I've never done, so the video is helpful as well. Totally looking forward to completing the program to get the full results.”

  • “I thought powerlifting would carry over to BJJ, but it also added a lot of fatigue. MatStrong helped me train in a way that actually supports my grappling.”

  • “The structure takes out all the guesswork. What really makes it stand out is the flexibility. I can adjust or swap workouts without messing up the overall plan.”

  • “I have regained movement in areas around the knees. I feel more confident in lifting trap bar and doing box squats.”
    John C.Black belt
  • “I hit the bag and grapple weekly, and MatStrong has helped me feel strong knowing it's fight-specific, while still leaving plenty in the tank and causing very little DOMS.”
