The #1 Rule for Getting Really Good at BJJ is Wrong

In BJJ there is often this idea that all you have to do to improve is this 1 thing. Many Black Belt coaches will say it's the #1 thing you have to do to improve in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Heck, I've probably said it before. Nowadays though, I think it's wrong, and if not wrong at least incomplete.
I explain why this common rule for Jiu-jitsu progress is ok but not what I would consider the #1 rule if you want to be good. And I think most of us in BJJ don't get into it to be just "ok". We want to be the best possible grapplers we can be. We may not be the next 24 year old Black Belt world champ, but we want to reach OUR potential.
And if you want to reach your potential it'll require a lot of things. I talk about 1 of these important factors in this video.
Hope the video helps you with your BJJ training.
Chat with you next time.

In the army they told us whatever job you hold train and learn the role of the guy that is two ranks ahead of you. So as a white belt that’s why I come in late and skip warmups.

I think it’s really quite simple. When you are brand new, just show up, because you don’t know anything yet, and you don’t know what to work on because you suck at everything. Get a solid foundation. But after a short time, maybe as little as a few weeks or a few months at best, start to figure out the areas where you struggle. Pick your worst spots, and work specifically to get better at those. Put yourself in those positions over and over again with people who will work with you, and do live training with the techniques you’ve learned until you no longer suck at those positions. Rinse and repeat until you are competent at everything.

Man I got a blue belt super fast and then I got hurt. I can’t get motivated to get back to a consistent basis like before my injury. 3-5 days a week to now 3-5 months in between going. I agree you need purpose cause I feel like I don’t have any when I go and I don’t feel like I gain anything anymore. It’s extremely important to have an objective for every class or it just becomes social time between you and your buddies. Thanks Chewy, great content.

@Altowner 2 года назад

I feel you. I got into best shape of my life in my profile pic. Got bored only lifting. Got back into bjj 3 weeks ago. After 5 years off.Felt great for 37yo. Went outa town for work didn't want to lose skill or conditioning. So I found a school close to motel. Well a bigger young guy new to bjj put his elbow in my ribs next to chest bone . I think he got excited thinking he was gonna pass . I was just casually sweep him then mount then let him bump me off was going to do it again and I think he slipped and all his weight on his elbow. So I can't lift or roll . I'm 1000 miles from home and working a heavy duty construction job with busted ribs for one week .Got one more day of work then I go home but that guy just messed up my training for at least a month. I'll have to regain what I lost. However I will focus on diet so I don't gain bf. Not hard if u did bodybuilding diets. But im not rolling till I'm confident I won't reinjure it. My motivation was 100 percent before.i Was pissed off all week but I been watching alot of instructionals. And remembering to look out. In the long run its not that bad. Also I learned to not roll with inexperienced people I don't know. Also .... I should have been fine just leaving class after technique and not rolling. I also had to tell another kid to don't grind his elbow right in my Adam's apple I got shit to do tomorrow. However I did have a nice competitive roll with a blue belt my age. He's like hey don't stack me cuz of bad neck im like I'm a bricklayer don't crank on anything ill tap. Sorry for the long rant

Definitely agree with this advice. Yes, you will still improve by showing up and going through the motions since your brain will subconsciously take in the information; however, it is much more important that you are showing up eager to train and with specific goals. It could be something as simple as focusing on T-rex arms or relaxing more during rolls. Just do one thing at a time each day and you will see improvement.

I think the difference between a job and martial arts is people need a job, they don't need martial arts. The person who just shows up to martial arts class generally wants to be there, where the person who just shows up to work doesn't. I think "just show up" is good advice, because someone who just shows up for 5 years will learn more than someone who trains really hard for 3 months and burns out.

I am a fairly new purple belt with wrestling experience. I am trying to kind of absorb more stuff away from my wrestling foundation, and it is difficult. I am working on all my sweeps, all submissions from the bottom, and some days it feels like I need to give this purple belt back. Then I go back to my fundamentals and I feel like I have my powers back. I needed this video, the only valuable lesson I have learned from getting a purple belt is I have so much more to learn.

@Patrick-sheen 2 года назад

It takes guts to pull guard, it takes guts to get smashed and learn how to play from bottom. That’s what people don’t realise. But once you go through that fire, it might take a year or two, then you can feel comfortable on your back, submit people etc. it would be so easy for you to just play the top game forever but you’re being gutsy.

@jodybond 2 года назад

I think it's important to differentiate between the best approach to improvement in students that are likely to stay beyond blue belt and those who tend to quit before purple. Those two groups tend to be wired differently and what will focus & motivate one group may have the exact opposite effect on the other. Given that most people quit, that's where the "just show up" mantra comes from. But rather than putting the onus on the students for dedication, I think instructors play a major role in keeping students coming back. Instructors that want to build armies will struggle with retention. Those that aim to make the club fun and inclusive will likely do better with retention. And let's be honest: the people who need grappling the most tend to be the ones that quit.

@Manta665 2 года назад

I always figured 'just show up' to be the backup for 'show up with a purpose': you are usually there because you love being there, because you want to learn or test new things, or whatever. But if your mind if not there, if you're feeling sick, etc. it is easy to say 'I am not going today', even if you should. And this is where 'just show up' **should** remind you of going to the gym, and the purpose will follow once you're on the mat, and everything in you remembers why you love being there

@BJJ_Richie 2 года назад

I agree with this , but most of us become more reactive in rolling, and end up not flowing at all when we have a tangible intention before going to class ........being said YES train hard set goals in BJJ , but co-exist with relaxing and passivity, I think Bruce said it best , "A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously" so be focused but not serious .

@MrJSyer 2 года назад

That's why I think we need to roll with less skilled or less stronger opponents once in a while. This is the way we can just relax and try to plan something ahead. Start with a plan and stick to it. If it's always "fight for your life/breath" kind of rolling, this cannot happen. You acquire a lot of skill with lower belts and them, being confortable doing your plan, you can try to apply it to higher belts.

@ViperStrikesMA 2 года назад

I disagree with your analogy. People show up to jobs without purpose because they are getting paid to not because they actually want to. Most people are paying for JiuJitsu so just showing up is taking some level of initiative. I agree that having an objective is a great way to stay focused and will help you see your goals more clearly, but some days your mind is cloudy or distracted and showing up is all you can do.

@Chewjitsu 2 года назад

Possibly. But I've watched plenty of people guilt themselves into doing something without focus. I watch people do it with weight training all the time. And they get poor results. Again, showing up is good. It just won't bring forth the best of you unless you add some focus.

I get what you’re saying. But I’ve been doing JiuJitsu since the mid-90’s and some days “just showing up” made all the difference. So many people quit JiuJitsu at blue belt, or it’s just too hard , or life takes over…if you just get your gi and your gear and get out the door and make it to a class or an open mat , THINGS CAN HAPPEN! Every time I’ve thought of flaking and just went anyway, I was rewarded. JiuJitsu is so hard that “just showing up” is a victory in itself. If you keep piling on other stuff to people that aren’t necessarily gonna be world champs… Sorry, I believe that golden rule still stands

I have different "goals". Sometimes, while rolling with higher belts I try to just get to one position or resist to one kind of attack or set some kind of attack. Something pretty basic. On the other side, while rolling with lower belts (blues) I set more challenging goals, like going to the back from this specific half guard or submitting in one particular way. All this while trying to pay specific attention to some specific techinique or something for one month or more. I'm still very far from good, but it's something... Honest work lol

Hey im looking for advice on the mental side of things regarding bjj I have been white belt since 2019 on and off. in last 18 months ive been extremely dedicated to my bjj. This year I had a goal of getting my blue belt. I competed 3 times this year and 4 times last year and didn't win one fight but all were heaviest division and im going to cut weight because size was factor. Grading is Tommorrow and i doubt ill get my blue belt because i lost on Saturday. Usually after a loss i take it on chin but this time knowing a blue belt was possility and i worked so hard and sacrificed so much all year it feels pretty disheartening. I suffered from bullying as a teen and sometimes it still affects me which is why i started bjj before i fell in love with it. On Sunday morning i was disappointed with result but got anxiety attack and all i could picture was all my bullies laughing at me and my brain kept telling me how they laugh at me and that im a loser and always have been and always will be. I know that nobody is laughing at me and that im not a loser but since the anxiety attack ive been pretty down in the dumps. I dont want to be person who obsesses over belts but at same time i feel gutted that others will progress quikcer than me and that i feel my progress is slow despite my hard work What advice can you give for me?

Hey chewy im a follow you since i started bjj and i wanted to know your opinion on something(i know is a longshot) but im a 18 blue-belt(started at 15) and im trying to be a better jiu-jitsu competitor because my dream would be to be very good like world class good i try to apply myself as much as posible by watching instrucionals and things like this and sometimes i get some payoff in the gym but when i go out to compete i fucking suck and it seems all the time and hours i put into improveing just don't payoff and i am at a pont that i am loseing tournaments constantly and it's extremly demoralisng and it just hurts and i don't know what to do so it would be nice to know your opinión on the matter thanks

I found private classes have helped me the most.

For me, I do best with either a semi-private or private with a uke. That way the instructor can see how I am interpreting the lesson. If there is a point he is trying to make that inst working with the partner, the instructor can insert himself in to the lesson to create the point.

@@rtexmx all mine have been strictly with my coach. He also corrects any of my mistakes as I'm making them though and I believe that's one of the reasons I take more from it than a regular class. You learn the right way the first time instead of trying to fix a broken technique.

@@rtexmx I'm a new blue belt so most of my experience during class is doing technique with another white belt which is fine but when neither guy knows what they're doing it's tough to get new techniques right. It'd be nice to do technique with higher belts more often but normally those guys have been training together for years and tend to pair up with each other, and fair enough. 🤷‍♂️

I disagree. The examples of purpose in this video describe what is perhaps better termed as individual goals. The difficulty most students have in regards to showing up with purpose/goals is that they are in most cases not responsible for the techniques and positional sparring that will be focused on during the training session. This can result in misalignment between the individual's goals and the opportunities available to them where they can work towards these goals. The #1 rule for the majority of students is just showing up. The responsibility for creating purpose lies with the gym to have a structured curriculum that will clearly identify and communicate goals while providing learning opportunities specific to meeting them. A curriculum that does this can ensure all key areas of grappling are met with maximal efficiency throughout its' completion. The downside of this approach is that it requires students to consistently show up. Having purpose and goals on an individual level is still highly important but applies more at an advanced practitioner stage where a student has a level of design control over their training sessions. Academic programs run in schools and universities adhere to this same line of thinking. Responsibility of learning shifts from teacher to student as the competency of the student advances. However, showing up remains of the highest importance throughout the learner's journey if they are to reach their potential.

Damn yknow what thats why i hate my job and quit. What we still in the 50s where you join a company and stick with it for the next 20-30years? Damn. As the advice of the late kobe bryant said. "if you hate what you do, do something else." im paraphrasing.

Calling it the first step instead of the #1 rule is probably more accurate.

@cb4354 2 года назад

It’s true there are guys who have been training 5/6 yrs and they may be blue and purple belt but not that skilled or that good. I think you need to really be a student of the art and show up with purpose

@MisterPeanutButter1 2 года назад

I have a question for you. I'm a white belt, and I've been having some success lately with the head and arm triangle from mount. However, if my opponent "answers the phone", I can't finish. My arms are occupied holding their head and arm, so I don't know how to clear the defense. Thanks for any help!
