Bulletproof For BJJ Podcast

Ever been cut off in traffic? Ever got a speeding ticket? BJJ is very much like driving a car but there are no speed limits, very few rules and almost no-one has insurance.The difficulty with BJJ is the driver and car are one. If the coach has not outlined the terms and conditions on what the rules are then it's hard to be mad at people going super hard if that is not breaking any rules.Communication is key to make sure that team mates know what kind of a roll you came for you may not want the Fast and Furious experience. No matter how you like to drive your body must be robust because physical strength and flexibility is your insurance policy. Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals

How strong do you need to be for BJJ? Is there such thing as too much strength? In BJJ culture strength often has shame thrown on it as a lack of technique. But we all know that being stronger is an advantage on the mats. If you are already lifting, feel strong and want to get stronger that is a great goal but how much more work do you need to do to get there? Do you even need to get any Stronger? The Bulletproof Boys examine the major lifts and discuss what level of strength you should be aiming relevant to your bodyweight. This should serve as a general purpose guide, so you can recognise when you are strong enough at a movement and instead of doubling down put that time and energy into something else that might help your Jiu-Jitsu more effectively.Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals

Is BJJ built on Humility or fought and won by Ego? Even though much of what is encouraged in the world of BJJ is to be humble and respectful, so much of the success we see in the competitive arena is brash shows of Ego. Trash talk, people beating their chests and making fun of other competitors does show much humility at all. The key question is- does be humble help your BJJ?It is a great quality as human to be modest but this is not necessarily going to help you improve at BJJ. The level of self belief and ego it takes to over come all the challenges BJJ throws at you in order to be great has little to do with Humility. Can Ego and Humility coexist  or are they counter points?

What's the worst injury you have had at BJJ? Are you always injured but not doing any rehab? BJJ is rough on your body, ignoring injuries and taking damage on a regular basis is often a source of pride to show toughness. Constantly being injured and complaining about it without taking action to fix it is not being a warrior- it's being a victim. BJJ does reward us for being tough but not taping won't actually help you get better at the art. Neglecting to look after yourself should not be a badge of honour and there needs to be a change in BJJ culture to help you stay in the game.Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals

Do you focus on mastering Techniques or understanding Concepts? A lot of early learning in BJJ is shaped and guided by the Instructor but at some point you will do your best to try to get better independently. Which is better to focus on- the technical details of a submission or the reason why it is applicable in the situation? The "How" & the 'Why" are both important components of mastering BJJ but where should you start? JT & Joey discuss how approaching the game from 2 very different angles can work, while also going deeper on the interplay between them and how this can unlock a new level of Jiu-Jitsu for you.Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals

Have you done a Crossfit Workout? Can you complete a W.O.D. and then roll in the same day? For some of you Crossfit is a way of life as much as BJJ, for others it might seem like a crazy sport for hardcore people who like to suffer.(Coincidence?) Both BJJ and Crossfit have massive dedicated communities who live and die by the Cultures credos. Though they may seem to be polar opposite the 2 cultures have more in common than you might realise.JT & Joey break down what Crossfit does well and the value that our BJJ Fam can derive from another group of hardcore, dedicated people. They also highlight where it can go wrong and how this is avoidable to get the best out of this intense sport that mirrors our own.Parry Athletic The best training gear in the game and Get 20% OFF Discount Code: BULLETPROOF20https://parryathletics.com/collections/new-arrivals
