One of the toughest parts with competitions early on is taking the loss. If you’re a seasoned competitor it’s pretty normal and you become used to the sting.

But with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners who are new to them. That can feel terrible.

In today’s video our friend who is a Blue Belt has lost the drive to train BJJ anymore after a competition loss.

The BJJ tournament was so intimidating to him that he says he never wants to one ever again. And because he began training Brazilian Jiujitsu to compete he now doesn’t know why he is training.

In this video I share about how my very 1st competition was a loss and the sting of that. I also explained how the contrast of my 1st win made all the difference.

If you’re in a situation where you are drawn to competing but for some reason had a bad outcome. That doesn’t mean you should give up. I believe in the situation you double down on your efforts.

Even if it’s simply to experience 1 win. You need to do that. Because it’s that getting knocked down then getting back up mentality that will carry over to every aspect of our training and lives.

Today’s video is about a BJJ Blue Belt who got cussed out by a Black Belt during training.

The situation happened after the Blue Belt ,who is much larger than the smaller Black Belt, used a neck crank.

He cranked on the Black Belt’s neck for nearly 2 minutes (according to his story.) Eventually the Black Belt got up and said some things that were inappropriate for the mat and did so in front of everyone.

Afterwards our friend is wondering what happened and what he did wrong.

The Blue Belt also says that he has a hard time getting people to train with him during rolling. People tend to avoid him and he’s not sure why.

I think these two separate problems are 100% related.

So in the video I talk about using Neck Cranks in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and how they can be used effectively but tend to be more of a annoyance or injury creator for most people.

I also jump into the idea of proper safety with submission in Brazilian Jiujitsu and being respectful with submissions at the point of finish.

This is important because when you have a submission, it”s the point of maximum danger for the person and must be treated with respect.

If you’re in a similar situation I hope this helps. And if nothing else I hope this video maybe helps shed some light on using submissions in a safe way. This way you can train hard but not injure your BJJ training partners.
