10 Annoying Myths In BJJ (Episode 424)

From Chewjitsu

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss 10 annoying Jiu-Jitsu myths.

  • Strength doesn't matter and technique conquers all. - The only way to get good at BJJ is to train really hard. - Being a black belt means you are a good person. - Being a black belt means you are more disciplined. - Gym owners are "money-grubbing evil-doers" who only want to extract money from their members. - You need brand new never before seen techniques to be good at BJJ. - Training sport Jiu-Jitsu will not be effective in preparing you for a self-defense scenario. - Helio Gracie was a sick and frail individual who invented leverage. - The Gi is boring. - BJJ competitors should be paid millions of dollars like other athletes.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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