ADULT / BLACK-BELT / MALE / MIDDLE – FINAL

Today our question comes from a viewer who got their BJJ Blue Belt in 8 months…

Now, for most of you, 8 months is pretty cool…

for him, it’s not so cool. He sees on the internet that, for most people, a Blue Belt is 1.5-2 years on average, and he feels uneasy about it.

He feels like he may not of had enough time to develop and is getting a bit of imposter syndrome.

He then competed at Blue Belt, lost his first match quick, got embarrassed, and left the competition feeling deflated.

That lingering “boogyman” in his head telling him he’s not ready was validated by that competition telling him that he does not belong.

He’s had a couple weeks off, but coming back he has this overwhelming feeling of anxiety and does not trust his Blue Belt.

He’s asking for some advice on the whole situation.

I got my Blue Belt really quick too (although I was a wrestler) and I’ll kinda tell you how I dealt with this “imposter syndrome” or lack of readiness.

Hopefully you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!

Mica Galvão was a mix of emotions after winning the lightweight World title. He talks about his super tough route to get the gold.

Adam Wardzinksi gave us an interview and explained how important the World title means to him. Wardzinski is proud to represent Poland and be the first male European World Champion in IBJJF History.

Check out all of the action and excitement from the 2024 IBJJF World Championships black belt finals day.

Today we have a question from Brennan, a self-proclaimed over-scroller on social media.

He said that he continues to come across techniques online (specifically short-form content) and sees stuff that he would like to use for his Jiu-Jitsu training.

However, even though he saves a bunch of these videos, he said he never uses them.

Now he’s a Blue Belt and is trying new stuff out on White Belts & wonders if there are any tips I have for him to use all the short-form techniques he finds scrolling through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pages.

P.S. This is totally my opinion.

But there tends to be a lack of nuance in many of those short-form videos (not that they’re completely bad), and in today’s video, I’ll explain to Brennan, and the rest of you watching, why I look at short-form techniques as potato chips vs. long form/instructionals/classes as steak.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
