Elijah Dorsey shares the moment that he decided to become a professional Jiu-Jitsu competitor.

If you’re a BJJ White Belt, or even a young Wrestler, as you progress, you will run into THIS problem…

Today we’ve got a question from Ben.

He said:

“I’m 46 years old; my son and I are about 6 months into BJJ. My question, at the moment, is that I feel like my Jiu-Jitsu is regressing. I feel like I get compliments about my skill level and progression from upper belts, but there’s not a lot of White Belts in my gym, and lately, in my open rolls, I’ve felt very stagnant… I feel like I’m reacting to all the information… I don’t want this lack of confidence to rear its head in competition. (What do you recommend I do?)”

I’ll dive deep into overcoming stagnation in BJJ and more in this video.

Thanks for watching.
