What’s up guys, today’s video is a unique one as it comes from inside the podcast studio!

I got some questions from you guys these past weekend during the Chewjitsu Open, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition that I’ll be running all around the states.

This weekend’s Louisville tournament had a great turn out and I’m excited to meet more of you at the next one.

Anyways, on to the question.

During the comp, I was talking to several young competitors and one of the big issues is the nerves associated with competition.

A good example is a man named Nathan who competed at my tournament this weekend. He came to a seminar the following event and told me that he lost his first match and just felt shaky, weak, and just off.

But, those next 3 Jiu-Jitsu matches, he won!

He said that after that first match, which he felt bad, he felt great. This is pretty common.

A lot of people struggle with that first match. It can be hard to get that initial lunge blow in and calm the nerves until you’ve actually gone through a live situation.

So, how can you deal with those nerves before that first match?

Well, in this video I’ll get you 2 ideas to chew on that have helped me, and various students, perform to our potential during BJJ competitions.

Hopefully you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!

The post Controlling Nerves, Fear and Adrenaline with Shane Fazen appeared first on jitseasy.

High School Wrestling causes a lot of the same competition anxiety that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournaments do.

Our buddy Walker who is involved in Wrestling and also loves Brazilian Jiujitsu is having trouble with the anxiety and nerves. So much so, that he is questioning whether or not he should continue to Wrestle the next 2 years in High School.

In this video I give some tips that I learned through my own experience in Wrestling in High School. It’s mainly one idea that concerns finding your reason why. Why are you doing the thing you want to do?

Finding my Why has helped me in BJJ, Wrestling, MMA and several situations in life.

This video is a little long. But I tried to really give you a sense as to who I was when I was younger and how much I’ve changed. And how really holding onto an idea and making it almost an obsession can really change you.

So whether you’re having trouble with nerves, anxiety and stress from BJJ, Wrestling or Mixed Martial Arts. The video is relevant and I hope it helps you conquer your nerves.

Thanks!
-Chewy
