Our guy Ryan who is completely blind and competed in his first competition. He had previously called in because as someone who is visually impaired he struggled to get training partners- plot Twist!

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.

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.

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.
