Chewjitsu Podcast

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the idea of whether BJJ is watered down.
We chat about how Jiu-Jitsu has evolved over the years from a traditional self-defense martial art and more toward a sport, how BJJ becoming more of a business changed the martial art, the evolution of training, how social media has impacted BJJ techniques and learning, the evolution and proliferation of techniques, if it is easier to get promoted in BJJ today, the importance of having older grapplers on the mats, and whether the skillset of Jiu-Jitsu practitioners is better today.

I'm a hobbyists who trains at a high level comp gym.
I have yet to see a non competitive (like me) move past and out rank a hardcore competitor.
Does that mean that the whole gym is getting sandbagged?
I don't believe so, I just believe that some gyms have higher standards than others.
I couldn't tell you if that means that jiujitsu is being watered down in other places. But from my personal viewpoint, it sure looks like it

Firas Zahabi says that more volume is better than high intensity.
If you can spend more time on the mats you will gain more skills over time.
High intensity has it's place but it's hard to make that the norm without the juice 💉😂
