Use a Stoic Mindset Technique to Overcome Weaknesses in BJJ

Today we've got a question from Chris who's been training BJJ for a few years now.
He says that he has a "lazy Jiu-jitsu problem."
When he's fighting for takedowns, getting his guard passed, and even searching for submissions, he tends to give up before he meets too much resistance.
Essentially, he just rolls over and dies when things get tough.
He wants to be more aggressive and is wondering if I had any tips on how to develop that aggression.
In this video I'll explain how Chris doesn't have a lazy Jiu-Jitsu problem, he's not lazy. He's training, exhausted, etc. However, what's going on (probably) is that Chris, like many people for whatever reason, has not been taught to fight through positions.
This is something that has to be trained with your coach, or something you can train yourself.
I'll give a few examples to help with the problem, even comparing a few values from sports Wrestling that can help you with Chris' Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu problem.
Hopefully you found this video helpful, especially if you are struggling with a similar problem to Chris.
Thanks for watching.

as a(n attempted) practitioner of both jiujitsu and Stoicism, I love how both of them have broad applications in so many areas of life, and as you point out, in each other.

I started BJJ at 55 with a shoulder replacement and later a knee replacements I adopted the idea I'll train today in a way that will allow me to train tomorrow I'm really not happy with that I'm not aggressive enough the video gave me some good ideas thank you

Journaling really helps keep you consistently focused on certain problems each time you train. Without journaling I can’t really think through a problem, identify a solution, and practice applying that until it becomes a part of my game. Journaling allows my mind to flow in a different way than just daydreaming about it

craig jones' power bottom instructional instilled this idea of never accepting bottom position (I've never wrestled btw) been working on this for the past year, such a simple concept and my teammates have mentioned that I'm really hard to hold down

@ZorgG2 5 месяцев назад

For me it was realising that it takes far more energy to escape from a position once my opponent has settled than it does to escape before they settle. Play to your laziness, don't let them settle it just makes it harder.

If I can provide you with some possibly unwanted advice, keep moving, and remain dynamic (don’t spaz out), they don’t have to necessarily be fast, they just have to have a purpose. If you move with purpose, you don’t waste energy, your opponent wastes their energy by doing 3 moves to counter your 1.

There's also the concept of picking your battles to increase longevity. You don't want to accept losing positions but not at the cost of grinding down your body and losing reps or worse.

I've been training off and on for a while and it was actually Andrew Wiltse (the buzzsaw passer) who mentioned this view of not accepting inferior positions in one of his videos. I started to integrate this into my own game in the last six months and I felt my performance shoot through the roof. Instead of always trying to play from bottom, suddenly I was able to smash a lot more people just by changing my viewpoint. I even had one newer training partner tell me that he didn't know how to channel aggression like me - I told him it wasn't aggression, it was just not accepting the bad positions without a struggle.

@Casey-ql5xg 5 месяцев назад

Learning how to NOT just accept a bad position is such a skill set. Our coaches at my gym havnt taught any of that, it’s something we have to pick up, but I’m seeing a lot of white belts really struggling with that. I still do as well just not as bad as when I started. Anyway, all great points!

@david4475 5 месяцев назад

En mi gimnasio igual no enseñan nada de eso. Y creo que es un error La retencion de guardia y los escapes es lo primero que se debería enseñar. Y no lo digo yo lo dicen los mejores profesionales. Saludos

@killercour 5 месяцев назад

I've got the same issue. I think with me it's purely mindset going in to the training. If I've had a bad day amd I'm feeling negative about my training I'll adopt the "what's the point" mindset. Honestly you just gotta push through it and say fuckit and just go for it even if you lose.

Another Stoic aphorism I find applies often to BJJ is to do the thing that scares you. I'm coming in from a judo background. I'm better at takedowns and side control than your average white belt. My guard game sucks. I've been forcing myself to stay in guard, or de la riva or similar positions *because* I suck at them. I can sweep and pin all the other white belts and feel like a bad ass. But my BJJ won't get better unless I do the thing that makes me uncomfortable.

@casparbosch5615 5 месяцев назад

For me it was that I was puzzling too much instead of getting into a higher gear and just go.

@fteambjj 5 месяцев назад

This is exactly me. I always give to side. My guard is almost non existant. Unless its no gi. I can do some guard retention and scramble to feet and take better position. But in gi i just let them take side and learn to get out or defensr the sub looking for a sweep with their mistake. But i need guard and this video came out at the perfect time 😂😂 its like manifesting 😂😂

@damluar 5 месяцев назад

You have to realize that if they pass your guard it will be much worse. That makes me fight harder earlier to prevent being smashed later.

You have those voices too?! Sometimes, I hear Cartman "Give it up you fat turd!" So sometimes, I'll start singing while I'm rolling, to silence the voices. Not great for pacing my breathing, but it's definitely thrown the other guys for a loop. .

@shawng746 5 месяцев назад

I definitely run into the same problem. It's certainly not being "lazy" for me. I have pretty good base and a high ability not to get put on my back easily. So the problem for me comes in that when I do, it's because I've been fighting so hard to prevent it, that I'm cooked. The will to escape that situation is there, just not much energy left to do so. If I can survive long enough to recover, I usually do alright. If not, then I'm just done for.

@LlamaBearMan 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I needed to hear this. As a white belt that has had some success fighting off my back, I find that sometimes I accept that position too easily.

@tigercrush2253 5 месяцев назад

Also, accept that when you start this process, your results are going to suffer for a little while! I've been working on the same sort of thing in the guard pass battle, and the truth is, I'm a lot better at preemptively recovering from side control than I am at preventing the pass. And the harder I fight to stop the pass, the deeper shit I get in when they do get to position, so a lot of my usual pathways get closed off. It sucks to feel like you're performing worse, but it'll make us better in the long term.
