Episode 236 - Rules For Jiu-Jitsu #13: Chase Abilities, Not Belts

From Chewjitsu

December 5, 2022 · 52:07

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss why you should chase abilities and not belts, and why you should focus on your development not the destination.

We discuss why focusing only on goals can result in "fulfillment fatigue," why the magic isn't in the things you achieve, but the process and who you become when you achieve them.

We also chat about what to do after you experience a let down after achieving a goals, intrinsic vs. extrinsic goals, and advice on how to combat the blue belt blues.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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