Flat Broke BJJ Coach Sleeping on an Air Mattress in a Storage Room

Today’s video question comes from a younger viewer named Cam who asks a question I’ve received a ton, which is. . .

How do you make a living doing BJJ??? Just Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and no other job.

Now, I could answer this question with the normal “get a gym”, “sell products”, etc. And maybe I’ll do a video on income streams another time. But for today I think it’s far more important to share about the foundation someone needs to have if they want to do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a living.

What do I mean? Well, watch the video and I’ll lay it out for you.

Because before you can talk about making a living you need to have a clear idea as to what “living” you’d like to make. I know people who make 6 figures but are broke and I know guys who make very modest incomes and do well for themselves.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Turning Martial Arts into Full Time Careers (How My Black Belt & I Did It)

Gary Berger — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 20:08:13 +0000

Today’s Q&A comes in response to a question about what kind of work someone should do in order to keep their BJJ and MMA training going and to possibly do this kind of stuff full time. So in this video I share some stories from my experience and from one of my Black Belt’s experience that could be useful to you.

Instead of talking about a specific type of job I focus on a mindset and prioritization

Hopefully after watching the video you’ll have some ideas on what you could do but then also how you could adapt the ideas for your own life and training.

By the way, when I say 25k in sponsorships. I sort of misspoke. It’s more along the lines of over 25k in training opportunities and experiences. This number is since 2016 and is a combination of seminars (many of which I give away free to the students so they have a chance to train with high level people), flights, fees for competitions, dinners for coaches, gatherings and parties for students and even some free memberships for students who hit tough times but still wanted to train.
