Work Schedule Crushing His BJJ Training Schedule (How to Keep Training)

Gary Berger — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 19:29:35 +0000

Today we’ve got a question from Raq, who has a situation where he’s got a new job, his first “big boy job”, and his parents & intuition are telling him that he can NOT turn this job down.

The issue is that he loves Jiu-Jitsu, it’s changed his life, and he loves what Jiu-Jitsu has done for him, transforming him from a young, out-of-shape kid to a tougher, more confident man.

He wants to continue training, but because of the new work schedule, he has no chance to train BJJ.

He asks for suggestions for training like private lessons, but he’s open to any ideas.

I had a very similar situation one time in my life, so I’ll try to explain to you guys how I dealt with that, and more.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching.

This Militant BJJ Coach Running Off His Students

Gary Berger — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:00:25 +0000

Today we have a question about a militant coach who is running people off from his BJJ gym.

Coach Bob says that in his gym he is there to push people to be competitors and to win. He’s there to train, drill, and roll and overall develop a competitive crew.

However, in his experience, this type of attitude affects many practitioners negatively and seems to run people off.

Coach Bob ask how to get people to stick to training, while simultaneously making his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students better.

In this video I’ll discuss what I try to do in these situations and how to handle hobbyist vs. competitors in a Jiu-Jitsu gym.

How Can a BJJ Hobbyist Prepare to Compete Against a Pro Grappler ?

Gary Berger — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 20:00:09 +0000

How can a BJJ hobbyist who competes somewhat often prepare for a professional grappler? This is the basic question I received from a viewer who is a competitor in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is but is still by all means a “hobbyist.” Meaning he has a job off the mats and can only devote 3 days a week or so to training.

This is opposed to a professional who might do BJJ all the time and competes often.

So in this video I give a mindset that could be useful to you if you ever find yourself in a situation where, on paper, you’re supposed to lose or are seemingly outmatched. This kind of situation could spook you at 1st. But I’m going to explain why it could make your BJJ even better by opening up a new mindset in you.

Whether you are an avid grappler or a hobbyist, you should incorporate strength training into your schedule. The benefits can’t be denied…whether its for improving performance, reducing the risk of injury, or just feeling and looking better, strength training is a must.

In this video I discuss how I incorporate strength training into my schedule, and how you can too if you train BJJ a couple of times per week or if you train every day.
