  • Today, we're discussing something every BJJ practitioner faces: feeling down when things aren't going well.

    We've all been there, stuck under someone big or failing at moves. But before you let frustration take over, let's chat about giving yourself a break. BJJ is challenging, with ups and downs. It's okay to mess up. Instead of beating yourself up, try being nicer to yourself.

    Celebrate the small wins, focus on progress, not being perfect, and don't compare yourself to others on social media. And when things get tough, talk to someone who gets it. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

    Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep growing. Share your thoughts below, and let's keep this conversation going. Thanks for watching, and see you next time!

  • We are diving into the real talk about belt colors in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm breaking down the myth that your belt defines everything, making a solid point about focusing more on getting better at Jiu-Jitsu than stressing over the next belt.

    Belts are acknowledged as milestones, but the key is your progress and skill development. Don't forget that belts mean different things for everyone, based on factors like age and experience. Think of belts as pit stops on a road trip, not the whole journey or getting a driver's license - it's just the start, and learning never stops.

    You should set practical goals and compete at your belt level to measure your skills. Bottom line: focus on consistent training, dedication, and personal growth, not just belt colors.

  • In this video, we delve into whether Jiu-Jitsu is suitable for everyone. The discussion was sparked by an Instagram reel from influencer Brad Lea, who shared his humorous take on why he didn't enjoy Jiu-Jitsu.

    We explore the idea that judging individuals for not wanting to pursue Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be elitist and counterproductive to growing the community.

    The reasons why Jiu-Jitsu may not be for everyone are examined, ranging from physical demands and potential injuries to psychological aspects, financial commitments, and time constraints. Personal preferences also play a significant role; some may prefer other martial arts or fitness activities.

    Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts on whether Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone and your experiences with the martial art. Remember, it's crucial to avoid judgment and embrace people's diverse choices in pursuing physical and mental well-being.
