Today we’ve got a question from Taylor.

He’s a young guy, who has been doing BJJ for 3 years, and he’s focused on Jiu-Jitsu competitions.

His goal is to be a high-level competitor in the future.

He wants to know how to bridge the gap between himself and the people with more experience than himself.

So, I understand where he’s coming from because this used to freak me out too.

When I started doing MMA & Jiu-Jitsu, I was faced with a lot of opponents who had extensive martial arts, wrestling, or jiu-jitsu backgrounds that I couldn’t even compare too.

All the way into Black Belt I competed against guys who have had years and years more experience than me. I even once competed with a guy who had his black belt longer than I had been training.

In the video, I’ll talk about the actual degree of time that matters when training, the difference between hobbyist and hard training, and how the quality of your training is more important than the quantity when training as a competitor.

If you’ve ever felt like Taylor, then hopefully you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

The post Young BJJ Competitor Spooked By People With More Experience appeared first on jitseasy.

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…

The post My BJJ Coach Only Promotes Based on Competitions (I Don’t Compete!) appeared first on jitseasy.

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.

The post This Common Error Can Destroy Your BJJ Performance (Be Ready for It) appeared first on jitseasy.

www.Chewjitsu.net

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!
