What is the best time of day to train BJJ?

Research suggests that the body is physically at its peak in the late afternoon when core temperature and hormone levels support athletic performance. However, for BJJ, the practical benefits of training at a time that fits your schedule far outweigh any physiological advantage. Morning training has the benefit of getting your workout done before life gets in the way. Many practitioners find that morning training clears their mind and improves their productivity for the rest of the day. Lunchtime classes offer a midday break that re-energizes you for the afternoon. Evening classes typically have the highest attendance, which means more training partners and often more advanced students. If you train in the evening, be mindful of the effect on sleep because intense exercise close to bedtime can make it harder to fall asleep. Experiment with different time slots and notice where you feel best and train most consistently. That is your optimal training time.
