What’s up guys,

today we’ve got a question from a 16-year-old boy who wants to do his first MMA fight.

He’s been training kickboxing for about 10 years and recently started BJJ.

The young man says he needs to prove something to himself, so he wants to try a Mixed Martial Arts fight out.

He passes this idea by his mom and she is not too keen on the idea. She does not want him to fight and this clearly does not make the young man happy.

He sends a message asking what he can do to convince his mother to allow it.

Honestly, there’s probably nothing you’re going to do to convince a mother to allow you to fight. It’s natural. Even my own mother hated watching my MMA fights, let alone my Wrestling or Jiu-Jitsu matches.

Now, what I would say is this:

It’s not the time for you to fight yet. There are pros and cons to doing it, but there will always be time to do it. Take that time. Develop your skills, get older/stronger, get more competition experience in Kick Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu, etc.

I’ll dive deeper into why you should take your time a bit more in the video above and give you a couple ideas to chew on.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching!

The post 16 Year Old Wants his 1st MMA Fight (Mom Won’t Let Him) appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s question comes from Marshall, and MMA fighter, who sends me a message saying that his MMA coaches, BJJ coaches, etc., are talking him up and telling him that he has a toughness about him that most people don’t have naturally, that he’s very skilled, etc.

He says that he knows his coaches believe what they’re saying. The issue is this…

He doesn’t see it.

He asked me “How do you discover something about yourself that other see, but that you don’t necessarily see in yourself?”

In this video I go into a few stories about times in my life I felt like an imposter, and no matter what anyone told me I didn’t believe I had “IT”, just like Marshall.

If you’re feeling like Marshall, I’ll also give you a really simple way to “update” your identity a little faster, so that you can see what your coaches are seeing & so that you can develop a real superpower, SELF TRUST, that is often developed by going through certain tough situations whether that’s through training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Wrestling, MMA Fighting, etc.

Hopefully you find the ideas in this video useful for you.

I got a question regarding binge eating and weight loss from our friend who is a teenager doing Brazilian Jiujitsu and martial arts. They say they tend to diet well for a while and then binge eat for a couple of days and then back to a good diet.

This viscous cycle is really killing their weight loss goals which they are trying to do through exercises and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Now they sent the question to me because they knew I was an overweight kid growing up and overcame it and wanted to see if I had any tips.

So in this video I share a dieting tip that was really helpful back when I was cutting weight for MMA fights.

The tip is simple, but it really helped me not binge eat after a rough day of training or a bad day outside of the gym.

For many of us, food has a lot of emotional attachments to it. It can pick us up or make us feel good. And we often associate bad food with good memories. Embracing this, you can use it periodically to treat yourself rather than deprive yourself.

I hope the tip is useful to you!
