Episode 359: Are you guilty of committing a BJJ Deadly Sin? We are always looking to add something to make our Jiu-Jitsu better. But maybe you actually need to remove some handbrakes that are holding you back from making progress on the mats. These Deadly Sins are f*cking you up! If you can just stop doing at least 1 of these 5 things you will improve 20%. This is based on the principle of Inversion and we are not talking about Berrim Bolos. Inversion is your ability to look at solving a problem from the completely opposite point of view: instead of adding something try removing a bad habit that is limiting your progress. Removing things actually frees you up and makes space for improvement. But What are these 5 Deadly Sins? Watch till the end and let us know what you think in the comments.

You ever escaped a submission and thought, they let me get out of that? Perhaps it was your immense skill or was it an act of generosity by your training partner? In BJJ and all parts of life acts of kindness allow others to learn, survive and grow as a result of showing empathy to others. Now this might sound strange in an art of breaking ligaments and choking each other unconscious but recently there have been some acts of generosity that need to be noted. Lachlan Giles has decided to award the remaining money he had from an anonymous donor and give it equally to all Australian athletes who qualified for the ADCC. This amounts to approximately $5.5k which might not sound like much but will go a long way to help these people chase their Jiu-Jitsu dreams.
This discussion is about giving people a chance, an opportunity to live to fight another day as apposed to breaking their ligaments. Letting someone off lightly where you could potentially punish them so they have a chance to grow and develop and this helps move the culture forward.

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?

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.

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?
