Sandbaggers and veteran blue belts winning words... Are minimum time requirements that IBJJF enforces for all their competitions stupid or is it valid? The phrase “I got my black belt in 3 years” is typically something we hear when talking about “fake” martial arts as it’s not possible to do in BJJ if you follow the IBJJF restrictions. Is it the best thing for the sport? Tune in to hear the boys lay down the law on IBJJF!

On this episode of The Chewjitsu Podcast, we are joined by BJJ Black Belt Henry Akins. Henry is a BJJ Black Belt under Rickson Gracie and the founder of "Hidden Jiu-Jitsu." On this episode, we discuss teaching and learning Jiu-Jitsu, and how the way Jiu-Jitsu has been taught has not evolved with the sport. We also discuss the most beneficial type of training with least risk of injury, how to make techniques automatic, the importance of starting slow, how to supplement your Jiu-Jitsu outside of class time, what it was like training in the early days with Rickson Gracie, whether the basics have been lost in the progression of Jiu-Jitsu, how to make the basics more effective, creating pressure through movement, the importance of weight distribution, and an interesting thing to focus on when breathing.

The idea of the episode is to not focus on what happens, but more importantly how you respond to the things that happen. We discuss dealing with difficult situations in Jiu-Jitsu, Chewy shares a story of an unsuccessful marketing idea for his gym, and how he responded and adjusted tactics. We also share a story about one of Chewy's black belts, who was a an aggressive grappler and sustained an injury, and was forced to change change and adjust his approach to training. We also chat about complacency, the conditions that create a positive outcome are many times not ideal, how a "defect" can become a blessing, if you should ever "sulk" when something doesn't go your way, developing athleticism for your specific sport, and how to use your body type for your Jiu-Jitsu.
