Shrimp’n Ain’t EZ Tshirt

Well, well, well, looks like we have a curious soul interested in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and specifically, the infamous technique known as “shrimping”. Now, let me tell you, my dear friend, shrimping is not some kind of seafood cooking recipe, no sir. It’s actually a fundamental movement that every BJJ practitioner needs to master.

So, what is shrimping? In simple terms, it’s a technique used to move your body on the ground while keeping your hips and core engaged. Think of it as a way to wiggle your way out of tricky situations when your opponent is trying to pin you down or mount you.

Now, don’t be fooled by the cute name, shrimping is serious business. You can’t just flop around like a fish out of water and hope for the best. No, no, no, you need to have some proper form and technique.

First things first, lie down on your back with your legs bent, and your feet flat on the ground. Then, start to push off the ground with your feet while keeping your hips up, and bring your body diagonally to the side. You’ll look like a shrimp trying to crawl on the ground. Hence, the name “shrimping”.

It might feel a bit awkward at first, but with practice, you’ll become a shrimping machine. Trust me; your hips and core will thank you.

So, why is shrimping so important in BJJ? Well, it’s a great way to escape bad positions and create space between you and your opponent. Plus, it’s a low impact exercise that can help you develop your coordination, balance, and overall body control.

In conclusion, my dear friend, shrimping may sound silly, but it’s an essential movement in the world of BJJ. So, next time someone asks you if you know how to shrimp, don’t embarrass yourself and say you don’t. Get down on the ground and show them your shrimping skills like the BJJ warrior you are.
