Have you ever competed right after a new BJJ belt promotion? This is what happened to our friend C who is competing on the tail of his recent belt promotion.
He says that essentially he’s nervous and doesn’t want to look like an idiot.
He says his coach even offered to take back the promotion but he declined saying he doesn’t want to be a sand bagger.
In this video I start by explaining that every single BJJ competitors or practitioner that we respect has all lost. Everyone has lost! Period.
I go on to share about my transition from White to Blue Belt in BJJ leading up to my first BJJ tournament at that level.
I go on to share about how I use the anxiety leading up to a fight or BJJ competition to fuel my training to make me better.
Whether you were recently promoted or if you’re just looking for some tips on getting ready for a Brazilian Jiujitsu competition that has you super nervous.
I hope this video helps!
