Today’s question comes from a Blue Belt who quit BJJ training some months back. His reasons for quitting, as you’ll hear in the video, are mindset issues.

So, as I get into the video, I share some ideas from my own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training as I went through a similar issue in the past. I never quit, but I did experience some frustration and overcame it.

If you struggle with anything similar, then I hope this video helps you out.
Thanks for watching.

The post This Blue Belt Quit BJJ, Now He Want to Come Back to Training appeared first on jitseasy.

Recently I posted a video about an older Black Belt in BJJ who was dealing with a difficult situation. If you want to watch the video, it’s here:

And in the comments to that video most of them were very positive, encouraging and people had a bit of empathy for the guy.

But with the internet being the way it is there were people who wanted to trash the guy and say that he had big ego issues. Some even said this sort of thing doesn’t happen in other arts like wrestling, boxing, judo and so on. 1 person even said BJJ has a toxic community because of the belts.

So this is a short video replying to those types of comments and my thoughts on the ideas.

Thanks for watching.

?THE ART OF LEARNING JIU JITSU ?
?By x2 World Pro Champ & BJJ Black Belt Kit Dale

Don’t think that your actions don’t have consequences. 
Every time you’re in a situation fronted with the choice of either, tapping or risking injury to escape. Remember this. Your body is in a continuous journey of deterioration. And what may seem like a small injury now, will most likely lead to bigger problems down the line. 

It’s easy to be blinded by your ego, in the sense that you can in a split second decide between intelligent training and egotistical training. Deciding whether it’s best to tap, learn from your mistake and preserve your body. Or to risk your body and preserve your ego.

How many times do we look around the training room, or competition room and consider what our audience thinks of us. And allow it to shape our decisions. “I can’t tap to a lower ranked training partner, coach Brian will see it and think I suck” this is a very human thought. We become self conscious. And make silly emotional decisions. 

The key problem lies within how we view ourselves, and the opinions of others. If you place the value of others opinions higher than the value of your health. You’re always going to be at high risk of injury. I know, I have more serious injuries than you can count on one hand, that all could have been avoided if I did one thing. Tapped earlier! The thought “I can’t tap to him” has cost me more than $50,000 and countless nights of sleep. 

Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Remove the value you place on others opinions and put it onto your own health. In a  game theory sense, Jiu Jitsu is much like Poker. You have to focus on the long game, not the short! If you focus too much on the short game you will make irrational decisions that can cost you big time. You have to understand the Jiu Jitsu journey is one that spans years and even decades. And the smarter decisions you make in the short game, the better journey you’re going to have in the long one. 

Be smart, tap a lot, learn from it, avoid identifying with anything, remove the value you place on others opinions and enjoy the ride. Because you never know how long it will last.
 
See you on the mats,
Kit Dale

?TESTIMONIALS
“It’s honestly by far the greatest content I’ve seen on BJJ and I’ve bought, watched, and read over 50 hours of content in just this year alone.” Antoine B.

“Kit Dale’s conceptual approach really works for me. As someone who only started training late in their early 30s it feels like a much more efficient way to learn. Which is important considering I have to scrape together hours to train each week between work and family commitments.” Cam G.

“I watched volume 1 of The Art of Jiu Jitsu. Then I went to class and instantaneously performed effortless sweeps and maintained my base in every roll. I am shocked at how 3 principles stated out loud improved my game.” Sean R.

“The approach to Jiu Jitsu outlined in your videos are pure gold. Kit Dale is the Tim Ferris of Jiu Jitsu! Thank you for putting this out. I have a new plan for learning and to teach my wife & kids.” Mike K.

The post Training SECRETS of a 35yo Black Belt appeared first on jitseasy.

Being a BJJ Blue Belt who can submit Purples , Browns and higher belts in the gym and competitions is a great thing right?

Yes, but it does come with some potential issues.

Recently I got a message from a young Blue Belt who is struggling when he visits other BJJ gyms while traveling.

This is because when he goes to these Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms he’s able to submit or outmaneuver many of the higher belts on the mat. Especially when in No Gi.

Again, this should be a good thing. But he finds that many of the people inside these gyms take offense to it.

They will get angry at him for beating them.

This isn’t right, and people shouldn’t take it so harshly. But it is what it is.

When dealing with people’s egos and the pecking order of their BJJ gym. People have a tendency to get up in arms and upset at times.

I’m better about this now. But I was guilty of this kind of stuff at one time in my life. So we can choose to point the finger if we want. But I don’t find that very helpful.

Instead, in this video, instead of condemning the people that our friend is rolling with. I try to give him some practical advice about feeling out the people he’s rolling with, before he kicks up the intensity.

I share this by touching on two separate situations. 1 was with my poor mindset as a young BJJ Blue Belt.

The second was how I approach going to gyms when I visit now.

Hopefully if you ever get into a situation like this in your own Brazilian Jiujitsu training this video will be helpful to you.

Thanks for watching!
-Chewy

The post Frustrated Higher Belts Are Upset with This Tough Blue Belt appeared first on jitseasy.

here are some of my favorite finishes in tournaments . I want to start off by giving credit to these tournaments they were all very well ran. Fuji, grapplers quest, smokey mountain, tn top roller, ego, ugi.

I have competed in over 400 tournament matches in my grappling career thus far and I plan on competing in a lot more. I havnt made a highlight video in awhile so I figured I was due for another. I love to study my own game and find my flaws to fix them.

I hope this video gives you some ideas of submissions you could be going for or how to compete with a lanky style of grappling. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll try to get a video out as soon as possible?

I am currently looking for sponsors and to add some more seminars to my schedule. If you know anyone interested please send them this video and my information. Thanks everyone!

Here is Eugene’s Podcast The Jiu-jitsu Therapist
https://jiujitsutherapist.com/podcasts/

We talk about everything from my recent diet changes and adding strategically placed carbs that are giving me tons of energy for my BJJ training, to getting submitted by lower belts and losing the ego and multiple aspects of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

At the end we do a little bit of Q&A with people watching.

We apologize for the audio quality and weird camera angling. This was thrown together pretty quickly.

In the future if we do another YouTube live episode. We will work on doing things more professionally and give you guys better audio quality.
