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!
