- Have you felt a bit down at Jiu-jitsu? Feel like you are in a slump? BJJ presents many challenges physical and mental. Life can throw a lot of challenges at you but what do you do when BJJ is getting you down.
You are training hard, fighting through injuries, taking beatings and struggling to fit in with team mates. Some days you are gonna suck and it can make you feel dark.
How do you handle it mentally is important.
JT & Joey discuss how to deal with the mental trial and tribulations that are part of the BJJ journey. Having an approach to deal with bad days is the key to staying in the game and not over thinking, so you can get out of your head and back onto the mat.

Hearing that you taekwondo career basically ended at 25/26 and only after that you started BJJ is really reassuring to me having started at 27. I gave up boxing at 21 after doing it my whole life and quit once I realized I wasn't gonna be going to the Olympics too. Cheers mate.
Thanks guys. I was just roughed-up by an aggressive brown belt and am now nursing a nerve pinch in my neck. This helped me overcome the bummer of needing some time off.
Sorry to hear about the nerve pinch dude! Glad you could take a win out of it. Heal up!
White belt - I had my 6th class today. This is the first bjj podcast I'm subscribed to. Also the only one I listen too.
Glad we got you early Phillip!
"You get smashed, your techniques don't work"
That's most days :(
I don’t do BJJ but really like the concepts you guys talk about. They apply to a lot of other sports too.
They absolutely do. Glad you enjoy the show!
That was a fantastic conversation! Thank you for the tips and insights and for opening up and sharing aspects of your own journey for people to relate to. Love this podcast and have been watching your clips for the last few weeks now. Thanks for the great work!
Loving these convos guys. Thank you. Awesome content as always.
BJJ sounds difficult for an outsider. If they listen to all the "downsides" podcasts, most would never get started. They would ask themselves "why would I do this to myself?"
That’s a great point. I guess our content is generally aimed at those who already train, so it’s assumed they know the benefits of BJJ. We’ll look to do an episode aimed at those who havent started yet. Thanks!
@Bulletproof For BJJ i can't train as my schedule doesn't permit at the moment, but i am soaking up all the podcasts to understand as much as I can before day 1. Thanks for the podcasts and the services you provide.
Spot on gents! Great insight, well articulated, and somewhat funny.. 😅
Jokes aside. Well done
Thanks man, glad you liked it!
Awesome topic lads, this was an interesting one.
Will JT be my BJJ Buddy?
As long as you let him pass your guard in training I’m sure he’d be down
@@bulletproofforbjj yeah "let" him pass, sounds good hahahaha
whoa did not realise I needed to listen to this until it was 4mins into it auto playing on me
youtube knows you better than yourself
i cant find you on audea - can you post audio versions of your videos there? would love to listen to them! thanks for sharing btw!..
Hey Valeant, we’re not familiar with that platform. You can find us on Spotify, apple and google podcasts!
35 year old who just started in February. Thanks for this. I've been really going through it the last couple of weeks, coming out of class in a dark place and have been contemplating quitting. It feels like ppl want to say stuff but are too scared, so instead they act passive aggressive.
I get you bro. Started at 39 about six months ago. Have had plenty of tough times and feel like quitting every week to be honest. There's days I do pretty good with rolling and days I forget everything and have new people tap me out. One of the hardest things I've ever done. My goal at minimum is to at least make it to blue belt so I'm just trying to endure. Hope it's going better for you now.
@@rodrigobarba930Are the better people ignoring you and sometimes get mad at you because I am new and I feel like people don't like me
@@olleolausson yup I've gotten that treatment before. It'd gotten a little better after I competed in February
I felt like that got me some more respect at the gym, even if I didn't get first place. I've learned and am still learning that BJJ is a marathon. Sometimes just keeping up with your classes and sticking with it helps your mind state as you get used to it and the gym gets used to you as you keep.coming and they can't get rid of you.
Even worse for depression, you could have Kieren’s calf muscle genetics.
Some fates are too horrific to even consider
I noticed the subtle taunting from some people where they tap my face while say "nice roll". Older people do it to younger people.
face tap ain't cool.
@@bulletproofforbjj Yeah. Tape me on the shoulder or back, not my face please.
Team only show up when there’s an odd number of people so there’s a forced rest round 😉
Can’t forget that team!
Depression doesnt exist. Stop playing victim.
Thanks for your input mate.
@@bulletproofforbjj no worries mate. Only here to help.
You must have really narrow life experience or a small social circle!
