On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss what a "BJJ Belt Hunter" is and what to do if there is one at your gym.

Chewy discusses the importance of your intention when rolling and why you should focus on implementing your techniques instead of trying to beat a higher ranked training partner, how being a "belt hunter" and worrying about winning will slow your BJJ progression, Chewy and Eugene's experiences traveling to other gyms, ideas to think about when training with an upper belt, how a coach should deal with a belt hunter from the gym and also how to deal with a visitor, how to get better by changing your focus, Chewy's experience at this year's Origin Immersion Camp, favorite memories at Origin Camp, and the importance of solidifying your game and not trying to learn everything.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
