Episode notes
Jiu-Jitsu and Health
- Assess if your Jiu-Jitsu practice enhances or compromises your health.
- Prioritize health and longevity, especially if training recreationally.
Phases of Jiu-Jitsu
- Many practitioners compare themselves to those "all in" on Jiu-Jitsu, a phase that's often unsustainable.
- Recognize these phases and train consistently at your own pace for long-term growth.
Prioritize Health and Wellness
- The primary goal of Jiu-Jitsu should be health and wellness, not solely competition or winning.
- Avoid risking serious injury for low-stakes competitions; prioritize long-term health.
