The Importance of Jiu-Jitsu Seminars

Jiu Jitsu Seminars; Are they that important to your training? Some people say maybe, some may say it depends on who it is with, some may even say no (for what reason? I have no idea.), but I say YES. Absolutely! Seminars are such an important tool to your BJJ training. Yes, they can require some traveling and may be time consuming. They also can cost a decent amount, but that cannot compare to the knowledge that you can gain from each one.

The most recent seminar I attended was by Rafael Mendes at ScrantonMMA. I am positive you all know this name, and if you don’t you better get on your research. I cannot even express how much I learned from a mere three hours with him. At first, I was not sure what to expect especially when I realized we were doing a set off the Berimbolo (which does not come easy for me!) By the end I had gained SO much more knowledge to add to my BJJ repertoire. It made me realize that everyone should be attending seminars taught by those who have extensive knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu and who are thought of as leading BJJ Players. To be able to work with the elite and have them spoon feed you their knowledge is invaluable. It gives you the chance to see technique from a different perspective and gives you even more insight to the sport. Even if you walk away with one new technique or detail, you will be able to carry that with you for all the years of training to come.

Also, when attending a seminar make sure you bring a notebook! This is so important. There are so many details and things you are going to want to remember, you need to write them down. If you walk out of there without taking notes, I promise you there are going to be things you don’t remember the next day.  Seminars are packed with so much information it is impossible to remember every little detail….unless you write it down.

Besides all of the knowledge you gain and new moves you learn, seminars are a fantastic way to meet your fellow BJJ players! We all follow each other on every social media forum, but this is a great way to meet each other in person. You get the chance to meet individuals who share the same love of the sport you do and it’s a chance to make new friendships and meet more training partners. How can someone not enjoy that? It is an awesome way to bring the BJJ community together.

So throw all the excuses out the door on why you cannot or do not want to attend an awesome seminar and go register and learn! Knowledge is power and in regards to BJJ we can always learn more. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is always evolving so take the opportunities to learn from the best. We can always be looking for ways to expand our game.
