Welcome to another episode of the "I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show!" In this episode, we're diving deep into the mental game of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you want to elevate your BJJ skills and achieve unlimited success on the mats, it all starts with the right mindset. In "Hack Your Mentality for Better BJJ," I'll break down three essential mentalities that can transform your training and competition experience: The Growth Mindset: Embrace the journey, learn from every roll, and continuously improve. The Cottage Cheese Competition Mindset: The mindset of all of the best competitors that I've met The Rising Tide Mentality: Believe that helping others improve will elevate your own game, creating a supportive and thriving BJJ community. Whether you're a white belt or a seasoned practitioner, these mentalities will help you unlock new levels of success and enjoyment in BJJ. Tune in to discover how you can hack your mentality to become the best version of yourself on and off the mats.

Are you a gambler? Like to place the occasional bet on the UFC for fun? When you are on the mats at Jiu-Jitsu you are rolling the dice on your ligaments. Now most BJJ folks aren't super crazy risk takers they just want to roll- but you are playing with fire. Whenever you place a bet you need to consider your odds, how likely are you to win vs how likely are you going to rupture your ACL. Injury can strike even when we are just doing simple drills so how can we lower our chances of injury so we are more likely to win than crap out? JT & Joey discuss in depth how you can enjoy the thrills of the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle while implementing a couple of strategies to not go all in, the story and references will surprise you but the message has an interesting conclusion. Can you bet your body and beat the house?

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss two rules for Jiu-Jitsu. Rule #1 - Expect to get thrown off a horse into a pile of manure. Chewy shares a story of getting thrown off of a horse and how the expectation of this possibility helped with the discomfort and difficulty of the process of learning to ride. We discuss the realization that struggles and difficulties are a part of getting better at Jiu-Jitsu, expect that there will be difficulties with learning Jiu-Jitsu, why failure is the "buy in" for improving, avoiding failure will hold you back, and the goal in training should be to develop skills. Rule #2 - When your lungs are burning…look fresh! Chewy shares a story of a tough tournament match where even though he was tired, looking fresh gave him the edge over his opponent. We also discuss why showing fatigue will give your opponent a boost, the importance of paying attention to your opponent's breathing pattern, how much of Jiu-Jitsu is mental vs. physical, why the physical precedes the mental when building confidence, why Jiu-Jitsu is a philosophy of doing, update your ego through challenging yourself, and move towards your fears.

What is the best type of strength training to get big and strong for BJJ? Is Powerlifting best- Squat, Bench & Deadlift? Are kettlebells, Indian clubs and Maces Bells which are more dynamic better for grappling strength? What tool is right for the job of build Real Strength. JT & Joey discuss the pros and cons each major strength training approach and then get to the heart of the problem... Do you just gravitate towards that which is easiest for you? Often the biggest gains you can make in your strength for BJJ are in the lifting you are avoiding. Basing your strength program just on what feels good isn't a good method for building your base. Also the unique or cool new training system that just came out can look exciting, this also doesn't mean it's effective. The boys clear through the nonsense and give you the direction you need to get strong for BJJ.

Do you feel lost at BJJ? Feel like you might want to quit? You need a BJJ Buddy! The fact that Jiu-Jitsu does not have a proper Buddy System is a problem that is leaving beginners stranded. JT recently experienced getting paired up with an experienced guy to show him the ropes. This totally changed how he felt in an unfamiliar setting. Having someone who is your go to person to help you when you get stuck can be a life saver. One of the hardest things when getting started in BJJ is simply not not knowing what to do in certain situations whether thats a technique or social rule you have no idea about. Having someone to help you integrate into this weird culture of BJJ not only can help you feel better but improve relationships between seniors and beginners. Up to 80% of beginners quit before blue belt for lots of different reasons but not being able to connect is a problem we all face when thrown into a completely new environment. If the gym you train at doesn't have a buddy system you may be the one who could suggest it and bring about the change changes the future of another new white belt. If your Jiu-Jitsu academy does have a buddy system let us know in the comments.

We'll talk about the sport, how it's evolved, With the American spirit, problems get solved.

Have you ever said something and it came out wrong? Recently JT had a lot to say about Craig Jones and the upcoming CJI Event in Las Vegas. But listening back to the episode JT realised he had made a mistake and wanted to put the record straight for you. It is hard to get JT to admit he is wrong especially when it comes to certain topics. But in this very candid episode he gets straight to the point with a vow to do better. Everyone is capable of change even the most stubborn, tenacious bastards.

How much BJJ should you train every week? Your coach says Everyday. The Pro guys train twice a day! But how much is right for you? JT likes to take things to the extreme and Joey has a more moderate approach and through their experience helping thousands of BJJ folks get stronger, more flexible and get healthy- they have discovered the sweet spot. Now winning in terms of how much you train looks different depending on your Jiu-Jitsu goals: If you are a top competitor, an experienced hobbyist or a frothy white belt. The boys discuss what each goal might require and some approaches you can take to ensure you don't crash and burn. More does not always equal better. There can be some diminishing returns that come from chasing the BJJ dragon, taking something beautiful and turning it into a grind which can start to eat away at other parts of your life. Trial and Error is huge part of learning and failing in BJJ so working out what your body and soul can tolerate is an important part of knowing yourself. But when you push the limits - You often find them! Sometimes those results can be painful and occasionally embarrassing. How much do you train BJJ every week, let us know in the comments?

Do you ask for advice from higher belts at your Academy? Maybe your friends give you advice that seems a little questionable. Either way BJJ advice is not hard to come by but how do you know what's good info and what is fake news? JT & Joey have given and received a truck load of advice over the years and not all of it was helpful. To save you time there are some ways that you can cut through the BS and save yourself years of wasted time. When you are not sure if the advice you are getting is solid there are some easy things you can do to work it out. You need to get 2nd and 3rd opinions on the same question to see if there is a pattern between them. Also asking "Why do you say this...?" Getting an understanding of why your Advisor is telling you this will give context that can help inform whether or not the advice is relevant. Another key take-away from this discussion is understanding the person you are getting the advice from- What is their Hammer? What is their strength and are they only speaking from their place of capability which is not necessarily going to work for you with your specific skill set or body type. Lots of gems in this one- let us know the best BJJ advice you have received in the comments.
