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.

Here is my second match from the Las Vegas open that I recently found. I always enjoyed watching film of other people competing when I was coming up. so I wanted to post as many of my matches for you all as I can. I’m going back through some files to look for matches that have not been posted yet.

Fasting has a ton of health benefits but is it the best thing to do when training BJJ? What about BJJ competitions, is being in a fasted state ideal?

In this video I answer this question. Which honestly has been asked a ton recently so I wanted to answer it.

In the video I share a story about one of my BJJ White Belts who recently had his very first Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament and he did so in a fasted state. I talk about how that went in the video.

I also share my personal experience with Brazilian Jiujitsu training and rolling, along with lifting weights, in a fasted state.

Again, I share how it went in the video.

But if you’re considering training or competing in BJJ in a fasted state I would ultimately encourage you to test it out and see how it works for you. Too many people decide to do things based off of what they hear or see other people talking about.

Allow yourself to develop your own belief based on your personal experience as well.

Here’s footage of me competing in a Judo tournament as a BJJ blue belt against a 300 lb opponent back in 2000 when morote gari (the double leg takedown and touching the legs) was still legal. He denied tapping to the armbar (the result of a juji gatame roll) but I think it was pretty clear that he was caught, and fortunately the referee agreed.

The post UFC 235: Ben Askren – I Love to Compete appeared first on jitseasy.

A common question that gets asked by newcomers to BJJ is whether or not you have to compete to be good at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This was the exact question I received from one of the viewers. He’s curious whether or not he has to compete to become good at Brazilian Jiujitsu.

In the video I share my thoughts on whether or not BJJ competitions are a must for progression in the Martial Art / Sport.

I also touch on the ideas of how I think tournaments and competitions can be beneficial to someone’s progression if not entirely a necessity.

I know that wrongly when I was a White Belt in BJJ. I thought that you had to do BJJ competitions.

As I’ve gotten older with years of experience under my belt I’ve realized the error of this thinking.

If you’re someone who is interested in BJJ competitions or curious about their necessity , I hope this video is helpful to you!

Thanks for watching!
