After 24 Years of Grappling This Unlocked my BJJ Skills & Improved my Life

Gary Berger — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 18:55:27 +0000

I’m getting ready for 2024 No-Gi Worlds in a few weeks, bulking up for a run at Super Heavyweight.

But anyway, I was thinking about the fact that I’ve been competing since the year 2000 in Wrestling/BJJ.

It’s been a wild 24 years. I’m getting old!

On top of that, I’ve had a lot of time to make mistakes, and adjustments, and develop some wisdom in the long years I’ve been competing in Jiu-Jitsu.

In this video, I’ll share a philosophy that changed my life in and outside of BJJ competitions. It’s an idea of high standards but low expectations. Meaning high standards for yourself but low or no expectations for how the outcome should go. I’ll explain more in the video.

Thanks for watching!

Young BJJ Competitor Spooked By People With More Experience

Gary Berger — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 17:28:39 +0000

Today we’ve got a question from Taylor.

He’s a young guy, who has been doing BJJ for 3 years, and he’s focused on Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

His goal is to be a high-level competitor in the future.

He wants to know how to bridge the gap between himself and the people with more experience than himself.

So, I understand where he’s coming from because this used to freak me out too.

When I started doing MMA & Jiu-Jitsu, I was faced with a lot of opponents who had extensive martial arts, wrestling, or jiu-jitsu backgrounds that I couldn’t even compare too.

All the way into Black Belt I competed against guys who have had years and years more experience than me. I even once competed with a guy who had his black belt longer than I had been training.

In the video, I’ll talk about the actual degree of time that matters when training, the difference between hobbyist and hard training, and how the quality of your training is more important than the quantity when training as a competitor.

If you’ve ever felt like Taylor, then hopefully you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
