Today we’ve got a question from Chew Crew subscriber, Andrew, who asked the question

“How long should a Blue Belt work on a particular technique or position (for example Butterfly guard/armbars/etc.)? Do you work on these things until you are at a Black Belt Level?”

This is a good question for BJJ Blue Belts, and I will give you a few ideas that I use to this day.

You can use them at Blue Belt, but you can definitely use these ideas from White-Black Belt too.

Hopefully, if you had a similar question, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching!

The post How Long Should You Focus on 1 Technique or Position in BJJ? appeared first on jitseasy.

What’s up guys,

So today we’ve got a question from an Ultra Heavyweight Jiu-Jitsu competitor by the name of Dan.

He’s also a Blue Belt who feels very stuck in his Jiu-Jitsu training.

He rarely feels threatened by the White Belts but finds himself getting Wrecked by the other Blue Belts & Purple Belts. This is clearly very frustrating for him.

He’s wondering how he can start to close the gap with some of the mid to higher belts.’

In the video, I’ll talk about how this is the perfect thing to happen now. Blue Belt is one of the belt levels where you’ll have a chance to learn the fastest for many reasons that I’ll go through in this video.

Hopefully, you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching.

The post Effective Strategy for Skill Growth as a BJJ Blue Belt & Beyond appeared first on jitseasy.

Today our question comes from a viewer who got their BJJ Blue Belt in 8 months…

Now, for most of you, 8 months is pretty cool…

for him, it’s not so cool. He sees on the internet that, for most people, a Blue Belt is 1.5-2 years on average, and he feels uneasy about it.

He feels like he may not of had enough time to develop and is getting a bit of imposter syndrome.

He then competed at Blue Belt, lost his first match quick, got embarrassed, and left the competition feeling deflated.

That lingering “boogyman” in his head telling him he’s not ready was validated by that competition telling him that he does not belong.

He’s had a couple weeks off, but coming back he has this overwhelming feeling of anxiety and does not trust his Blue Belt.

He’s asking for some advice on the whole situation.

I got my Blue Belt really quick too (although I was a wrestler) and I’ll kinda tell you how I dealt with this “imposter syndrome” or lack of readiness.

Hopefully you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!
