Mei Mei Workout: Train like The Jujutsu Kaisen Grade 1!

I was wondering how long it was going to take for Mei Mei to make it on the site.

Mei Mei is notoriously disliked by JJK fans, but I figured there were enough who weren’t in that category to eventually get her on the site.

And finally the day has come.

Mei Mei is finally making it into our Jujutsu Kaisen Inspired Workouts, and she’ll also be added to our Calisthenics Workouts as well.

Mei Mei is extremely strong, but (spoiler alert) we’re going to mainly be working around he mobility and acrobatic ability for this one.

Mei Mei Stats:

Real Name: Mei Mei

Height: 5’7

Weight: N/A

Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen

Powers: Yes

Mei Mei is actually fairly tall compared to other female characters, but she’d still be nearly a foot under what we’d consider a behemoth among our Anime Inspired Workouts. 

That said, we’re mainly training around her slim and toned aesthetic.

Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8 and Sailor Moon at 4’11!  Katana is just behind her at 5’2.

We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Mockingbird and Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique, Miss Martian, and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.

But the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at 5’8.

And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!

But don’t worry, either way.

Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero.

Mei Mei Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Mei Mei Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Mei Mei I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with what they share here:

Mei Mei is a supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. She is a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer who works independently and only in exchange for money. She is also the older sister of Ui Ui and was a senpai of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto during their time at Jujutsu High.

We’re going to be skipping her appearance section being that her Wiki really only just breaks down her attire (which we can clearly already see from the images I chose), and instead move right into her powers and abilities.

To start, they give us a pretty decent breakdown of her overall power level here:

Overall Skill: Mei Mei is a grade 1 sorcerer recognized by many for being a more than capable fighter. Satoru Gojo has stated in the past that he believes Mei Mei is strong, a comment that the strongest sorcerer doesn’t hand out lightly. Satoru and the others at Jujutsu High deemed Mei Mei so capable they thought it was strange a mission went longer than usual while she was on it and concluded something strange must have happened.

Mei Mei originally believed she was born with a weak innate technique because it only allowed her to control birds and that was it. As a result, she trained herself to be effective without it, crafting herself into a close-quarters combatant. Thanks to this training, Mei Mei was effortlessly able to defeat Niji Ebina, a curse user believed to be as strong as semi-grade 1.

Directly after killing Pseudo-Geto’s assassin, Mei Mei had to face his special grade disease curse summoned via cursed spirit manipulation. The Smallpox Deity trapped Mei Mei within its Domain Expansion with conditions that could kill her in just three seconds. She claimed that she couldn’t remember the last time her life was in danger before this, suggesting that she hadn’t been defeated or injured in a long period of time while working as a sorcerer.

Despite the overwhelming disadvantage, Mei Mei was able to defeat the special grade disease curse with her younger brother’s help. Her intellect and combat experience helped her outmaneuver the cursed spirit and exorcise it. This feat even impressed Pseudo-Geto, who admitted Mei Mei was exceptional for a jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era.

We can immediately tell we have a lot of work to do.

The majority of it will be her hand to hand combat and strength.

They break down more about her combat skills with her armed combat here:

Master Armed Combatant: In a fight, Mei Mei defaults to using her battle-axe to engage her opponent at close range. She looks to cleave her opponents in two with fierce swings, doing so with incredible speed and precision considering the size of the axe. A single swing from her axe was able to kill a curse user as well as sever the arms of a special grade cursed spirit. In her battle with the Smallpox Deity, Mei Mei was able to break out of a coffin buried underground by a giant gravestone, shattering them both in a single attack. She did so in under three seconds each time, getting faster with each attempt.

I couldn’t help but add this part in considering her battle-axe is just so dang cool.

That said, it won’t play that big of a factor in our workout.

The goals for our Mei Mei Inspired Workout are:

• Mei Mei’s Slim and Toned Aesthetic
• Mei Mei’s Fighter Mobility & Acrobatic Skill
• Mei Mei’s Strength, Speed and Stamina

This one will be fairly intense, but it should be okay for an intermediate level to jump right into.

You can also scale up or down as you’d like, or even start with one of our Beginner Workouts, starting with either The Beginner Ninja or even The Beginner Speedster as the two calisthenics workout options.
