Episode 311: Do you love BJJ? Do you also love MMA? Which sport is more popular? Most will say MMA but how many people train for MMA and how many people train for BJJ. There are plenty of BJJ practitioners who are MMA fans - JT & Joey being some of them. But here is the point of conjecture ( specifically JT's point) BJJ will be bigger/ more popular than MMA very soon. He points to the recent birth of so many different live events paying grapplers $20,000- $50,000 which was un heard of 10 years ago.This is more money than some UFC fighters. As the grappling community swells in numbers so too does the fan base. If BJJ is not more popular than MMA, the question is how long until it is?Get Stronger & More Flexible for BJJ  with the Bulletproof For BJJ App- Start your 7 Day FREE Trial:  https://bulletproofforbjj.com/registerStay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!

Which belt are you on? How long did it take for you to get it? For everybody doing BJJ depending on your Gym and your Coach the time it takes to grade to each Belt level will vary wildly. There are many factors that affect how quickly you progress through the Belt ranks but these are not always made clear to you by your coach. Some Academies grade on attendance, some on competition wins others on personal development- it can get confusing. Also the act of asking how people are graded when you join a Jiu-Jitsu gym may seem taboo and awkward. On top of that if you have recently changed gyms they will probably keep you at your current rank till you have spent some time being part of their team. All of this can be frustrating but once you know how it works at your gym then you can set your own expectations and work at it!Get Stronger & More Flexible for BJJ  with the Bulletproof For BJJ App- Start your 7 Day FREE Trial:  https://bulletproofforbjj.com/registerStay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!
