So, today we’ve got a question from a Newly promoted Brown Belt, Evan, who is a hobbyist that finds himself having a case of the “Brown Belt Blues.”

Usually, you hear about the Blue Belt Blues, but today’s situation in a little different, or at least the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt color is.

He says that at his gym he’s at the appropriate belt level. But, when he goes online and starts looking at the people who are competing at the Blue/Purple/Brown Belt competitions, he just doesn’t think he’s at that level.

He obviously finds this disheartening.

Sometimes he finds that he has no idea what these lower belts are even doing when they compete and now, he’s suffering with a bit of imposter syndrome as a result of that.

He asks what I’d do to deal with the doubt of his rank in BJJ.

In this video I’ll give Evan, and you guys, 2 ideas to chew on. 1 idea you guys might not like much, but I’m sure the other will be reassuring for some of you.

Hopefully, if you’re struggling with a similar issue, then you found today’s video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

In today’s video I address a common problem that affects many new BJJ practitioners, especially hobbyists.

And today’s question comes from a fella named Luke who’s a White Belt just starting out in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he wants to learn how to maximize his progress with his 3-day a week schedule. Now, he’s not trying to be a high-level competitor, he’s not worried about belts, he’s just doing this as a journey for himself.

So, in the video I talk about this idea and why you want to avoid this idea of maximizing anything, especially if you’re a hobbyist.

How can a BJJ hobbyist who competes somewhat often prepare for a professional grappler? This is the basic question I received from a viewer who is a competitor in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is but is still by all means a “hobbyist.” Meaning he has a job off the mats and can only devote 3 days a week or so to training.

This is opposed to a professional who might do BJJ all the time and competes often.

So in this video I give a mindset that could be useful to you if you ever find yourself in a situation where, on paper, you’re supposed to lose or are seemingly outmatched. This kind of situation could spook you at 1st. But I’m going to explain why it could make your BJJ even better by opening up a new mindset in you.

Recently I received an email from a viewer, Chris, who titled the message “Is my BJJ Gym Cobra Kai?” This of course caught my attention, so I wanted to see what his situation was. He says that the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training inside the gym is great but unfortunately the main coach he trains with is a bit of a jerk.

Recently the coach said that he’s focused on his competitors and any hobbyists need to ask other coaches for help because he doesn’t have time for them.

His primary coach saying this rubbed Chris the wrong way and created a situation where he’s curious as to whether he should leave his gym (even though he doesn’t want to) or stick it out.

In the video I’ll share some ideas that will hopefully be useful to Chris and anyone else in a similar situation.

Thanks for watching!
