Best Way to Overcome Competition Anxiety in BJJ

Gary Berger — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 20:32:42 +0000

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!

Every BJJ Competitor Learns & Understands this Idea

Gary Berger — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 19:56:19 +0000

Recently I got a question from a young guy who said he let his BJJ coach down.

He said that this last he’s been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and winning tons of gold medals. He said recently, he was getting ready for a competition, one of the biggest ones in the country and leading up to it his teammates and coaches were very confident in his abilities to have success at the tournament.

He goes out to the competition and loses first round, by 2 points, to the person who would eventually go and win the bracket.

He sends me a message saying that “I let my coach down, what do I do?”

I asked him WHY he believed he let his coach down. His reply was “I did not live up to the expectations everyone had for me.”

So, I questioned him. Asking him, based upon which actions from them, his coaches and friends, made him feel like he let them down.

You might be surprised at his response, and honestly, this is probably how most coaches feel. If you’re ever feeling let down about a loss at a Jiu-jitsu competition, then maybe this conversation between myself and the messenger can be useful to you.

How An Experienced BJJ Competitor “Thinks” During Matches

Gary Berger — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 21:00:22 +0000

I was recently asked about what I think about when I’m competing in BJJ tournaments and competitions matches. So in this video I share what goes through my mind during matches after 20+ years of grappling competitions (both in wrestling and BJJ).

The answer may not be as “magical” or interesting as you’d expect. But it could at least make you feel a little more normal.

What I mean is that back in the day I always heard Black Belts are thinking 5 moves ahead, or something like that. Well, maybe I’m just dumb, but I don’t see it like that. Instead, it’s something different which I’ll explain in the video.

Thanks for watching.

How To Develop New BJJ Techniques from Rolling Injured

Gary Berger — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 20:59:17 +0000

Today’s video is a reply to a comment I received about rolling with people in BJJ who are working around injuries.

True story, some of my best BJJ techniques have come from relaxed rolling with injured training partners. Seems crazy right? In the video I share a great example from 2019 that helped me be a more effective grappler and even win a gold medal at a competition because of a specific grip I learned during an injured roll.

I also talk about why this is kind of a secret to training as a an older Black Belt.

Hopefully the idea I share in the video serves you well if you or 1 of your training partners is trying to train around a particular injury in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Chat with you next time.

He Refused His “Participation” Medal at a BJJ Competition

Gary Berger — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 19:30:08 +0000

Today’s question is about getting a medal for losing all your matches in a BJJ competition. The question comes from a guy who was in a 3-man division, lost both of his matches and got a 3rd place medal.

He said that when the medal was offered to him, he didn’t accept it. He didn’t feel like he earned it. And he sent the question to me about whether or not he did the “right” thing by not accepting the medal.

So I chat about the idea, briefly, about participation medals in BJJ competitions and why I think his decision was better than the 1 that many people make when they become too attached to medals and trophies.

Are IBJJF Tournaments Tougher than Other Competitions in BJJ ?

Gary Berger — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 19:00:06 +0000

Today’s question from a Blue Belt who’s competed, and done well, in several tournaments and is now gearing up to do his very first IBJJF competition. His question is whether or not the IBJJF competition is tougher than other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competitions.

In the video I’ll share some ideas on the IBJJF, why you shouldn’t get spooked about any competition and also how 1 of my BJJ students struggled in a local tournament and later on went and won the Pan Ams in his weight class and age division.

So, if you’re getting ready for your 1st IBJJF competition then I hope the video is useful!
