I get a lot of questions from people (my students and online followers) about the best foods to eat before BJJ training. Many people ask this because they struggle to eat and then train without feeling sick. I literally just had this conversation with one of my students in the gym the other day.

So in this video I share some basic ideas on what’s worked for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. Warning! This is a video talking about diet which means everyone, and their mother is going to have something to say about it. Here’s my advice. Don’t fall victim to zealotry when it comes to dieting. Most often people push this stuff for their benefit, not yours.

And with that said my encouragement is to try things out for yourself. So I lay out the methodology of me pre-training nutrition along with some of my favorite pre-training foods.

Hopefully the video is useful to you.

I share a story from my grappling career that would have been my most embarrassing moment. I share the story from my early wrestling career because it illustrates a point I wanted to make in regards to a question I received.

That question was, “What should you eat the day of a BJJ competition?”

I know why people ask this. They’re looking for some magical food to give them better performance. But as I’ll share in the video it’s a bad idea to change your diet in any major way right before a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or any sort of grappling competition.

Now if you have a terrible diet. Then focus on changing that 1st rather than changing it the day of.

Hopefully the video is useful to you and your competitions.
