Ever feel like something’s holding your body back—but you can’t quite pinpoint what it is? In this episode of Inside the Wave, Perry sits down with Keith Shimon, co-founder of Body Activation and a specialist in performance training, injury recovery, and human adaptation.
Keith’s been in the game for decades—working with NFL athletes, MLB players, and everyday folks chasing better movement. He shares how to actually figure out what your body needs to perform, recover, and adapt for the long run—whether you’re a beginner in BJJ or a black belt managing years of wear and tear.
Highlights:
- How to identify hidden weaknesses before they lead to injury
- What “adaptation” really means (and how to train for it)
- Why exercise is your most powerful tool for long-term recovery
Keith’s approach isn’t just science—it’s personal. From helping his dad through ALS to guiding pro athletes through injury, he’s developed a practical system that bridges healing and high performance.
This is a must-listen if you’re serious about staying on the mats, training smarter, and making real progress.
