What’s up, guys!

Today’s question comes from a viewer who’s looking to get back into Jiu-Jitsu competitions after a 5-year break due to life and parenthood. He’s finally starting to get the itch again, but he’s feeling unsure about whether he still has the aggression and competitiveness that most Jiu-Jitsu competitors have.

He’s worried about going to a competition and getting smashed, and he’s asking if I have any tips to help him get back into the groove.

In this video, I’ll share my own experience with competing, taking a 2-year break for various reasons, and how I eventually got back into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

I’ll also talk about the mental shift I had over time—the way my mindset changed as I got older. Competition became a lot less important to me, and the fuel I ran on evolved.

I hope you find this video helpful. Let’s get into it!

Thanks for watching.

Today, we’ve got a question from AverageAarron, who is dealing with one of the many Ego battles that those of us who do BJJ often face.

This is true for the entire run of our Jiu-Jitsu careers.

He trained BJJ for 4 months, competed, got Gold in No-Gi, and 3rd in the Gi. He said there were tons of benefits from the comp like an adrenaline high, he’s calmer, and has a better gas tank.

Here’s the problem…

He says he can’t shake this feeling of expectation even though he’s competing at a local master’s tournament.

I’ll dive deep into my own experiences with comp and how I would attack this Ego battle in BJJ.

Today we’ve got a question from “Bob” who says he used to train BJJ in the United States, however he’s currently training overseas.

He says his current gym is great, the training partners are great, the coach is great, the training is great, and so on…

The only problem Bob has with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach is that they only promote based off of competition experience.

He says he’s not used to this and isn’t sure what to do since he personally does not like to compete in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments.

He’s worried that he could be stuck at his current belt level for years just because he doesn’t compete and isn’t sure what to do.

He sends me the message and wonders what I think about the situation.

So, here’s what I have to say…

Recently I got a question from a young guy who said he let his BJJ coach down.

He said that this last he’s been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and winning tons of gold medals. He said recently, he was getting ready for a competition, one of the biggest ones in the country and leading up to it his teammates and coaches were very confident in his abilities to have success at the tournament.

He goes out to the competition and loses first round, by 2 points, to the person who would eventually go and win the bracket.

He sends me a message saying that “I let my coach down, what do I do?”

I asked him WHY he believed he let his coach down. His reply was “I did not live up to the expectations everyone had for me.”

So, I questioned him. Asking him, based upon which actions from them, his coaches and friends, made him feel like he let them down.

You might be surprised at his response, and honestly, this is probably how most coaches feel. If you’re ever feeling let down about a loss at a Jiu-jitsu competition, then maybe this conversation between myself and the messenger can be useful to you.

Today we have a question from Nathan, who sends me an email, and asked:

“Chewy what is the worst screw job you’ve seen in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition.”

Well, after training BJJ for so long and watching so many matches, you might be surprised that I have seen a ton of “screw jobs”.

BJJ competitions tend to be famous for egregious calls in tournaments, which can be pretty annoying as an athlete, coach, or even spectator who is trying to understand the sport.

In this video, I share one bad call that I have experienced both as a coach and then one particularly bad call I experienced as an athlete in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition as a Blue Belt.

Hope you find these ideas useful.

Also, let me know down in the comments below if you’ve gotten any horrible calls and let me know what they were.
