144. Competition vs Training

Send me a message

Ever wondered how much weight you should place on competition versus training in Jiu-Jitsu? Brace yourself for an enlightening discussion as we break down this heady topic. We delve into the irreplaceable experiences competition can offer, and how these can surge your skill progression. However, we also offer a fresh perspective for those who do not align with the competitive aspect of the sport, stressing that this experience may not be as beneficial or desirable for some.

Transitioning into the second segment of our chat, we dissect the contrasting benefits derived from training and competition. Likening training to a lab - a place for experimentation, learning, and readjustments, and competition to an ultimate test - an irreversible experience that propels you to your edge. The show further underscores the mental aspect of Jiu-Jitsu, the trials that come with performing under duress and scrutiny, and how these encounters are exclusive to a competition situation. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, the emphasis is on everyone attempting competition at least once, to leverage the invaluable insights and mental evolution that come with it.
