Are you gritty, or are you... quitty? Mental toughness separates those who excel in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from those who simply participate. It often manifests in unexpected individuals– the quiet accountant, the elderly gentleman, the smaller woman – who demonstrate extraordinary mental fortitude despite lacking physical advantages. These individuals prove that psychological resilience can outshine any other advantages.

How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome In BJJ (Episode 354)

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss Imposter Syndrome in BJJ and how to both overcome this and use it to your advantage. We discuss the problem with comparing yourself to others, if a high competitive environment a reason to change gyms, what Chewy looks for when promoting someone to their next belt rank, why Chewy doesn't prefer a strict curriculum for belt promotions, feeling like you have a target on your back after getting promoted, the "Garry Tonon Approach" to training in bad positions, how becoming a father can make yo better, stress and how you perceive it matters, why fewer black belts compete, the best strategy for overcoming imposter syndrome, and why belts are a representation and not the reality.

Many of us daydream of getting to use our jiu jitsu in a real life scenario. But what if it does not go how you planned? You truly do not know what anyone is capable of. We challenge the romanticized notion of jiu-jitsu in self-defense by discussing the stark reality of facing armed opponents. Our conversation reflects on how training may not actually help you in the streets.

I've got something special for you today: a true adventure story set in the Far North featuring that I underwent a few years ago after a kidney transplant. I ended up learning a LOT about mental toughness, resilience, and strategies for making progress when I was absolutely at the end of my rope, lessons that I think are universally applicable. The book out today in hardcover, Kindle, and Audible audiobook formats. Since this is a podcast, I thought I'd give you the first three chapters in audio form, including an incident so embarrassing that I almost didn't include it in the book at all. If you grab the hardcover this week, I'll make sure you get a signed copy! If you get the Kindle or audiobook format, then you'll get my thanks and undying gratitude. You can get it at your local bookstore but you also get it at ALL the big online sites, including these links here at Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com, In Canada you can get it at Amazon.ca or Indigo.ca. In the UK it comes out a little later, but you can still preorder it at any of the links on simonandschuster.co.uk. I hope you enjoy consuming this book in your favorite format it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you! Thanks so much, Stephan Kesting **P.S.** You can see some very kind early reviews of the book at stephankesting.com/perseverance-book
