Fitness For Jiu-Jitsu : Why Fatigue is making you bad at BJJ

From Bulletproof For BJJ

Do you train BJJ when you are exhausted? Does your coach push you to fatigue in warm up so you roll tired? Even though there is something to be said for being able to push yourself to keep going when you are almost completely gassed out, practicing sloppy reps because you want to be fitter is only going to make your BJJ Skills worse.
JT & Joey dissect this topic and look at it from a few different angles. "Training Tired is training Stupid" If you are early in the Jiu-Jitsu journey you need to put a premium on what helps you learn - physical fatigue won't help. Mental toughness is a key part of rolling and improving at BJJ but trying to practice skills can make your game dumb but tough. If you are someone who likes to go hard on and off the mat this is a good episode for you.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
