BJJ sport training is one of the only sports I’ve ever seen where there is very little methodology of how hard to train.
Most sports combine some mixture of hard and lighter elements of training to round things out.
But Brazilian Jiu-jitsu often doesn’t. So practitioners often fall into this misconception that the only way to get better in BJJ is to GO HARD all the time.
In today’s video I answer a question from our friend who is asking about how to roll with weaker smaller people during BJJ training.
He says this not because he wants to adjust to them, but because he implies that he isn’t going to improve if he rolls wit them.
I try to debunk this myth by sharing how I rolled with mostly White and Blue Belts for some of my early Black Belt competitions.
Very similar to weaker people in the gym. I could crush them if I wanted. But I roll with them very deliberately to improve and prepare myself for Black belt matches.
If you’re in a similar situation in BJJ. I hope this video encourages you to think a little differently about how you can train with smaller, weaker or less skill BJJ training partners.
Talk to you next time!

A lot of times in these videos it may come across as I’m always excited to train BJJ. That I never get tired. That I never lack enthusiasm.
And that simply isn’t true.
I’m human and lack excitement for training from time to time.
Very often one of the periods where I always feel a lull in my excitement for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training is after big competitions wins.
The excitement of winning the tournament or fight always sends me down to at least a week of lethargy. Then it picks back up afterwards and I get back to normal.
I’ve found that if I try to fight against this feeling and push it, it simply gets worse. But if I simply go with it and give it time to run it’s course. I come back strong.
And in this video I talk about how the cool morning I experienced felt like I feel right now. The temperature dropped and life seems to slow down a bit after the rush of the summer heat.
Like that, I feel as though my body is slowing down after the heat of hard training and competition followed by the excitement of meeting new people at seminars.
And if you feel like this, lacking excitement or motivation for jiujitsu, don’t worry it happens to all of us. It’s ok.

Have you ever lost a BJJ match that you feel like you should have won?
You may not agree with that mindset or outlook. But many competitors have been there before.
The question today comes from a BJJ Blue Belt who recently lost a match that he felt he was capable of winning.
He says he felt like he should have won because he was more experienced than the other person and several of his other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teammates had defeated him as well.
Now this is a problem in itself. But the bigger issue for our friend Nathan is that he has a big BJJ competition coming up and needs help bouncing back from this loss.
In this video I discuss getting over a bad tournament performance so that you can bounce back to winning.
The biggest problem I see is that our friend was working the competition before his match and wasn’t able to properly prepare to compete.
If you’re in a similar situation. I hope the video is useful.
