5 TIPS FOR BEGINNERS OF JIU JITSU

5 TIPS FOR BEGINNERS OF JIU JITSU


BJJ can be addictive, even if you're just getting started. These tips are important for beginners to ensure you get the most from your training.

PACE YOURSELF

Jiu-jitsu offers a thrilling experience. For people who have never been to this encounter, their fight or flight instincts will kick in during a roll. But you must learn how to pace yourself in class. This is true for drills and rolls. It would help if you didn't give your all, but it's important not to exhaust yourself and fail the class. Remember that even though you might not get submissions in every class roll, even escapes and dominant positions are still achievements, especially for beginners.


KEEP A TRAINING SCHEDULE

When starting, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the ideal times to train. This is especially true if you balance work, family, friends, and other obligations. This can be a problem for white belts who want to keep training. When you first begin BJJ, it is crucial to take the time to determine the best times for you to hit your mats. You should make sure these times work for you. You can choose to train at night if there are lots of classes. 


Morning or lunch classes may better suit you if you feel more energetic during the day. It would be best if you were consistent with your schedule. The rest will fall into place once you have these times as your training hours. You will soon be practicing jiu-jitsu every day and begin to excel.


BE PATIENT

As a beginner, it can feel like everyone has colored belts. This can make it seem like all you need to accomplish your goals. However, this is only one step in the process. You will receive your belts and stripes as a sign of your BJJ progress. Patience is a key attribute in this gentle art. It's helpful to remember that even black belts have to wait until their first stripe. You will see the progress in your performance and your class performances improve if you put your efforts into every class. Grading and stripes will follow.


ASK QUESTIONS

If you have a question, ask. For questions, the coach will normally answer them after explaining and demonstrating. If not, you can always ask. You can ask the coach any specific questions after class.


GET ENOUGH REST

You are undergoing a lot in your first year of jiu-jitsu. You may notice that your muscles are becoming stronger and smaller than before. This is one of many great benefits of the sport. Over time, it will lead to a stronger and healthier body. It is important to remember that these changes can take a significant amount of recovery time. It would be best if you got enough to sleep each night.


Have fun and be open to learning. Jiujitsu may be complex, but it can also be fun. Focus on the joy you feel for the gentle art; the rest will come easily. Learn more about classes at Roy Dean Academy. Or visit our website.
