The BJJ lifestyle is sold as healthy- but is it? When you dedicate yourself to the Jiu-Jitsu journey there are many bad habits that you pick up along the way in the name of getting better at the art. This may cause chaos, injury and disfunction in other parts of your life but we excuse these problems because we love BJJ so much.
If you ask your coach they will always say to show up everyday. This is not necessarily the best advice. Rolling to win and always pushing not to Tap or be submitted is another bad habit even though you might think these are the traits of a champion.
JT & Joey unpack what you need to avoid in order to stay healthier mentally and physically to improve your BJJ longevity.
