Do you train BJJ when you are exhausted? Does your coach push you to fatigue in warm up so you roll tired? Even though there is something to be said for being able to push yourself to keep going when you are almost completely gassed out, practicing sloppy reps because you want to be fitter is only going to make your BJJ Skills worse. JT & Joey dissect this topic and look at it from a few different angles. "Training Tired is training Stupid" If you are early in the Jiu-Jitsu journey you need to put a premium on what helps you learn - physical fatigue won't help. Mental toughness is a key part of rolling and improving at BJJ but trying to practice skills can make your game dumb but tough. If you are someone who likes to go hard on and off the mat this is a good episode for you.Stay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!

Do you drill techniques? Does your coach make you drill in class? On today's show we are joined by Adam Childs from the " Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast"  and head coach of Vantage Jiu-Jitsu. This is a broad discussion of the benefits and limitations of isolated skill practice. Recently the popular discussion has been around 'Anti-Drilling' and the 'Ecological Approach' to learning BJJ. When looking more closely at other high skill disciplines- Dancing, Music, Gymnastics & Cooking. In order to be good at any of them there is a disciplined and systemised approach which requires immense attention to detail. Once the rules and principles have been learned then breaking away and being more experimental could help progress your learning but is this how we should all learn? This is a wide ranging discussion and Adam brings a great insight as a coach and how to help beginners improve with drilling.Check out the Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2mjOQYDy1L9f4wOmf49dsd?si=3a0be3511ba4420eStay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!
