BJJ Brown Belt Can’t Win at IBJJF Competitions

From Chewjitsu

October 23, 2026

Today's question comes from a Brown Belt who is doing really well in local Jiu-Jitsu competition, but whenever he gets to an IBJJF competition he just bombs.

He has an adrenaline dumb, gets nervous, and it's messing him up.

He wonders if I have any advice.

Hopefully if you're struggling with a similar issue, then I hope you find this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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