Should you scout out your opponent for BJJ competitions or should you focus on your own gameplan?

And when preparing for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament does it change from White to Black Belt?

It’s different for everyone. But for me, I don’t like scouting out my opponents too much.

As I talk about in the video. When I went to BJJ competitions and focused too much on what my opponent was going to do. I didn’t execute my own game plan effectively.

And whenever I competed and didn’t have time to look people up. I was able to perform much better.

I will still glance at my opponent’s if I can, but only a glance. Just enough to know some of the techniques or strategy they may execute.

So if you’re like me. You might find it beneficial to not scout your opponents out too much and simply go in with a focus on your game plan, your techniques and jiu-jitsu abilities.

Hope the video is helpful!

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!

I was recently asked by John D, When will I know I’m ready to compete in BJJ?

This is such a common question I get from my newer students who haven’t competed in wrestling or other 1on1 sports.

The people that get into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that have competed in other 1on1 sports know that a part of it is simply doing it. You’re not going to know you’re ready. But you just do it anyways.

This is especially true for your first competition. You won’t know you’re ready for something you haven’t done yet. So it’s only natural that you’re going to second guess yourself and wonder when you’ll feel ready.

So for your 1st BJJ tournament you’re not going to know you’re ready. You just have to get out there and do it.

If you’re one of those people who is a little more anxious or an over thinker. Like me. Then something you can do is make a simple game plan outlining at least one move from every major position. Making sure you have at least 1 takedown, 1 guard pull, escape from every position, a sweep series, submission series.

In essence you want to make sure you know exactly how you will approach the match from start to finish.

You don’t want to start the match and wonder, “what do I do now?”

So there are a couple of tips.
