It doesn't matter if your BJJ practice has been going on for years or if you began in 2015. These 10 tips are important to ensure that we get the most out of our BJJ Training and stay on top of the latest developments.
1. Trust others and be trustworthy
Never keep a sub alive past tap-out. Don't hesitate to let go of a replacement if you aren't sure they have tapped. The environment is safer and easier to learn if you're a trustworthy training partner. Nothing is worth doing if it's not fun. BJJ can be something you carry with you for the rest of your life. Each stage should be memorable. BJJ is the greatest addiction that you could have.
2. Brazilian Jiu jitsu takes place in a "gi."
Although no-gi may be considered a form of sport, you should understand BJJ techniques before moving into no-gi. It is much easier to adapt your techniques to no-gi than to the other.
3. Do not ask black belts to roll.
Training with black belts is possible, but be sure to invite them. This tip can be a bit old-fashioned and resentful of recently promoted students. When a lower belt fighter asks them to play, the higher-ranking feel like they are being pushed. The way they look at you will reveal who is available. Smile at them and show that you are open to the possibility of meeting. I can assure you that it's always more rewarding to roll when you are invited than when they ask you.
4. Find the best instructor.
Sometimes students get discouraged when their start in Jiu-Jitsu isn't perfect. This is why it is so important for the beginner to do their research and find an instructor who enjoys teaching. It's not normal to feel like the instructors aren't paying enough attention after beginning classes. Switching to a gym where everyone is welcome is a better option than quitting.
5. Have faith.
Believe in the methods. Although it can be frustrating, you should try to defend your techniques using those already in your arsenal. If you feel out of options, speak to your instructor.
6. Communicate.
One of the most extraordinary things about jiu jitsu is how you can share your knowledge. Ask your more experienced students any questions. Ask what you could do to stop an attack and get that submission. They've likely been in those situations before, so that they can give you all the details. Higher-ranking students are more likely to appreciate being appreciated and to be able to offer their assistance.
7. Do your homework.
It can be frustrating for teachers when they try to teach a technique or move, but the student forgets it. You must practice the technique many times, even if it doesn't work. As a beginner, there is no set style. So what might seem like a waste today may prove to be your greatest asset in the future. Do repetitions and take some time each day to go over your techniques.
8. Tap out.
Although no one would like to see a student tap out intentionally, it is not something anyone wants. However, students who are good at taking risks and putting themselves in disadvantageous circumstances will be able to do so. If you tap, that's fine. Let it serve as a lesson. In times of real danger, your chances of prevailing are higher if you are more familiar with these difficult situations.
9. Try new things.
Sparring shouldn't be like you're competing in a championship final. While there will be times when it is necessary to be hard, your coach should decide when. I believe in trying new things every day and putting your best moves into practice. The more you diversify your game, the better your future tools.
10. Self-defence should be your priority.
There are many teachers who don't understand the importance of teaching basic self-defence techniques. Some do so because they lack familiarity; others believe they are outdated. Self-defence skills will give you a better understanding of the moves you have never learned. They are fun, too. The current techniques, from tournament-level to the most advanced, were developed from the basics.
