Today we’ve got a question from “Bob” who says he used to train BJJ in the United States, however he’s currently training overseas.

He says his current gym is great, the training partners are great, the coach is great, the training is great, and so on…

The only problem Bob has with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach is that they only promote based off of competition experience.

He says he’s not used to this and isn’t sure what to do since he personally does not like to compete in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments.

He’s worried that he could be stuck at his current belt level for years just because he doesn’t compete and isn’t sure what to do.

He sends me the message and wonders what I think about the situation.

So, here’s what I have to say…

Today’s question comes from John who recently had an annoying, but far too common, situation happen to him at a BJJ Tournament.

Sadly, what happen to John will, at some point or another, happen to every Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitor. I know it’s happened to me plenty of times. And if you’re not ready for the situation it can definitely throw you off and potentially ruin your performance. As was the case with John,

He said he did ok at the competition, but he felt like all the changes threw his game off and he wonders if I’ve ever experienced something like this, and If so, how do I deal with it?

So, in the video I explain an important idea for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions to keep your mindset in the right place and how to deal with unforeseen situations that happen at competitions.

Have you ever been in a similar situation to John? Let me know in the comments below.

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.

Hope the video was helpful!
