I often get asked my opinion on competing in BJJ tournaments…

Is it worth it? Am I gonna get better faster if I compete? Am I gonna get promoted faster?

There are many hidden benefits about competing in tournaments that you may not know, but the final decision is always yours… you don’t have to compete if you don’t want to.

I cover a lot of good stuff in the video above, please take a look and let me know your thoughts!

    Thank you Professor. I sometimes feel a bit guilty for not wanting to compete. I'm 67 and I just don't have that fire and desire to go that hard anymore. Still, I remain dedicated, teaching and taking classes 6 times per week. Thanks for your perspective.

    I always look forward to your videos Professor. I watch at least two of your videos on techniques and perspectives before every class. Great words and advice.
