How Intense Should My BJJ Training Be For Competitions and MMA?

[@hard2hurt]

What you're supposed to do is tell the guy "let's just flow" and then go as hard as you can.

[@hard2hurt]

@Josh D. Let them tap you a couple times really fast so they slow way down then just go crazy.

In my opinion doing tournaments is like leveling up. Not in a since of belt color but your mental game. Push the mind and the body follows.

I am entering my first competition in October at the Ontario open in Ottawa, Canada. This video was good timing.

Ikr😂 i have a tournament tomorrow, and I was just reflecting on my week and then I saw this vid lol

I know this is a year old but how did it go?

[@HandsomeNature]

@@rickya9206 oh wow, it went well. I one my first match. Lost my second. Thanks for asking! Still training of course.

[@rickya9206]

@@HandsomeNature congrats man! awesome to hear you're still training aswell 👍

[@CarlosAlvarez-hw1je]

I've competed a lot but in normal training sessions I am pretty laid back. I only train hard a few weeks before competitions until about a week before. Even when I do train hard, nothing can replicate the adrenaline rush you get while competing. I'm actually competing tomorrow so I havent rolled since Monday.

[@loctrice]

I paused the video before you answered. Here's my gut reaction : "that depends on your partner bro. Train harder with anyone who is happy to train hard with you. Train lighter with others". A very good grappler once told me, when I asked him why he wanted to go with me often when he was prepping for a fight if the other guys could give him real competition - he said "cardio is cardio at this point. I'l. go with those guys too." Love your vids Chewy

[@steveabraham3052]

Sound advice Chewy! Similar to how I train regularly at the gym... I like to take a week off or so at a time. When I get back, I feel like a new person.

[@hornetluca]

I just had my second bjj class and the first sparring sessions. It was fun I didn't even know what to do but I've learnt a lot. I wonder, why are bjj practicioners so friendly?

[@nickmerkadoe7386]

We have a good outlet for aggression.

[@TrraGickk]

A mix of great outlet for our everyday aggression and weed is very prevalent in the BJJ community

i’ve done 3 so far and i completely agree. i’m only 5”9, 8 1/2 stone and 15. walked over to a guy called luca who’s polish 6”5 and jacked and he spent 5 minutes just telling me what i’m doing wrong and what i can do to help myself

[@hornetluca]

@@harrywallace9571 exactly what other people did to me after making me tap 😅

[@noaxyhaxy460]

I went last weekend, my second time ever with gi i won bronze, then i went no gi and won gold. I went also open witch i placed 5 on both gi and no gi. I went 12 matches won 9/12, no one there wanted to kill me, everyone was chill and cool. Just tap if they catch you in sub, i lost all my 3 in subs, there is no shame in that

[@craigmeyers9137]

Well, it all depends on you experience. Once you're on that level plain with those you roll with, intensity and depth should be a common... to really grapple is to be in a state of kinetic explosiveness, Idle but volatile on command. Over pain, stress, and bad position.

[@abbydud26]

Hello I’m not going to share my name but I have a question. But first I am eleven I been trying for 3 years I am was the first kid at my gyms kids class and now I go to the adult class sometime. And I been what to really start to improve my game. I know you said you were a wrestler. And I kind of thinking of trying it out and I not sure if I sure because I not confident in taking down but I know if I do wrestling it will make that better. Also being a girl I am scared. So to sum it up what your thoughts do u think I should wrestle???? Please answer

[@chadmichaels1896]

Definitely try it out! Remember there is no growth In your comfort zone. OSS!!! 🤙❤️👊

[@Anthony_Lucca]

I would definitely try it out. I wrestled in high school before starting jiu Jitsu. It teaches you great takedowns and scrambling not too mention the mental toughness you will learn.

[@lukeschmidt8081]

@chewjitsu I’m a small guy 5.8, 136 pounds (in relation to the intermitted fasting video) don’t need a full video on my question just a reply would be good. There is a lot of big guys at my gym and I mean I would like to eat to try put on some weight but I feel like I can’t eat before training because it feels like I’m going to be sick from the pressure that is put on my stomach. Any tips or tricks for getting around this?

[@fearedhorizon808]

Eat after training instead of before of high protein like fish or steak, be explosive in drills, and be "solid" in every movement you do it will solidify ur body

[@golddee2040]

Hopefully this guys gym will have an interclub comp he can do before he does a real comp. Those are basically the same. The intensity comes from points being on the line. When you are about to lose 1st place if the guy successfully knee slices through you half guard, you fight hard to not let him pass. If it''s just a roll, meh.

[@gumbyjiujitsu]

Couldn’t be said any better 👊

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks!

[@TimberGrappler]

Hey Chewy, question for ya, I recently was promoted to blue belt about a month ago, and since that promotion Ive felt like it was rushed and in my mind I am still a white belt. I have mentally demoted myself back to white belt. Do I bring this up to the instructor who promoted me? Should I agree with their decision, maybe they see something I dont? I feel like this thought interrupts my rolls and time on the mat, and I perform worse since the promotion. Any thoughts or help would be awesome!! -Bob

[@whosgotthetime]

“Undulate?” *subbed*

[@BiGGs16]

Anyone got advice on “flipping that switch” to just go to that “i’m gonna win mentality”? I find if i’m in bottom positions or getting smashed and tapped quickly I start getting that voice in my head that’s like we’re getting out of this and i’ll flip a dude. How do i get the mind set before i get in those rough spots?

[@whitebeltlyfbjj3393]

I've got a comp coming in 10 days.....tried going 100% for 4 rounds.....feel rekd

I’m a young 14 year old that’s a white belt. I go to adult training sessions.I understand the calmness and coolheaded feeling of jiu jitsu. The highest belt in my gym is blue belt three stripes. I’m submitting blue belts and most people in my gym. Yet my coach thinks I’m not ready for competition. What do I do?
