02/20/23 • 40 min

Dre and Alex address the mental dilemma we all go through when it comes to getting better in jiu jitsu and getting promoted. We typically don’t like to talk about when we are getting promoted - There is no ego in BJJ right?? The truth is that we all want that next stripe or next belt, especially when we feel that we are improving, but its a taboo topic to address and can pose a mental block to your own progress.

Episode Highlights

  • Should we use tests in BJJ?
  • Measuring yourself against other belts
  • BJJ Tip - React with no reaction
  • Good professors know
  • Its ok to wonder when you are getting promoted
  • Measure success in as many ways as possible

This episode is one that we didn't see coming but we had to do...We decided that we need to put the breaks on the podcast for the time being. With Dre in school and starting his clinical internships in two months the guys decided that his attention really needed to be focused on that right now.
This isn't a goodbye but it is a see you later. We hope that you have enjoyed the podcast and been able to get something out of it. Keep training, keep rolling, and we look forward to getting this going again once life calms down a bit.
