1. What are your thoughts on training as you get older? @noogadude_

2. What is better to achieve if you couls only choose one: ultimate offensive skill or ultimate defensive skill? @andyswey

3. Can I come on your podcast soon? @colemillermartialarts

I recently got a question from a BJJ practitioner who is at a new gym and is struggling with her ranking.

She says that she’s a 3 stripe White Belt. But her BJJ training has been broken up a bit. And she also says that this particular Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym is very tough.

Her question is how to deal with the feeling of false advertising when she’s in the gym with her belt.

She has 3 stripes on her White Belt but she doesn’t feel like a 3 stripe BJJ White Belt.

In this video, I talk about a situation where I felt very similar as a Brown Belt.

I had gone down to train at a really tough gym and by the end of the 1st night I felt like I was being an imposter.

But I was able to get over the mental block and make the most of my time by taking on the mindset I did when I was a fresh new BJJ White Belt myself.

I hope this video is useful for you if you’re in a situation like this. Where you go to a Brazilian Jiujitsu gym and feel like you don’t measure up.

Control the Controllable
Process vs Outcome

I figured it was about time to start doing some weight training for BJJ videos.

In this video I share one of the deadlift variations I really like. It’s the Hex Bar Deadlift sometimes called a Trap Bar Deadlift.

There are a few reasons I like this weight lifting exercises for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu players.

1. It’s a great lift for the whole body!

2. Requires less technical skill than a squat or conventional deadlift. (great for new lifters)

3. Easier on the lower back than a Deadlift or a Squat.

4. Helps facilitate good hip extension which is an area BJJ practitioners lack.

5. It’s also a very natural movement. Many BJJ practitioners suffer from muscular imbalances and have trouble squatting and deadlifting with good form. Because of the natural movement of the Hex Bar Deadlift. It’s a great option in an easier movement pattern.

I’ve personally grown to love this lift. Years ago, I wasn’t really a fan. But as I began to play around with it. I noticed the utility for me as a Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner.

Mainly, I could hit my legs and work my lower body without the fatigue that would often be caused by squats or traditional deadlifts.

I also noticed that these feel much more comfortable and I recover a bit faster from them.

If you’re looking for a good exercise to boost your BJJ. It’s a smart idea to strengthen the lower body. And this is a great exercise to work into the mix.

Have you ever lost a BJJ match that you feel like you should have won?

You may not agree with that mindset or outlook. But many competitors have been there before.

The question today comes from a BJJ Blue Belt who recently lost a match that he felt he was capable of winning.

He says he felt like he should have won because he was more experienced than the other person and several of his other Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teammates had defeated him as well.

Now this is a problem in itself. But the bigger issue for our friend Nathan is that he has a big BJJ competition coming up and needs help bouncing back from this loss.

In this video I discuss getting over a bad tournament performance so that you can bounce back to winning.

The biggest problem I see is that our friend was working the competition before his match and wasn’t able to properly prepare to compete.

If you’re in a similar situation. I hope the video is useful.

Can competitions hurt your overall learning in BJJ? Can being in the competitive focused mindset hinder your ability to take on new techniques and add them to your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?

This is the question I received from Mike who’s a BJJ White Belt.

He said he’s preparing for his 1st BJJ competition and he’s wondering if getting into the more competitive mindset will hurt his BJJ learning.

In this video I 1st touch on what happens when you get into a competitive mindset vs a more relaxed mindset. And how it changes the way we learn and take in information.

Then I talk about how this will affect our BJJ training and learning.

The last section of the video I talk about how you need a little bit of both. And how each mindset or approach has it’s own benefits.

You need to be able to train and be relaxed. But you also need the ability to be sharp with your techniques.

If you’ve ever wondered the same thing or if you find yourself suffering from not being competitive enough or not being relaxed enough during BJJ training then I hope the video is useful to you!

Talk to you guys next time.
