I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

Today I will attempt to answer an impossible to answer question and probably offend everyone who listens. Who in my opinion should be on the BJJ Mount Rushmore?   As with every Q&A on the I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu Show we dig into A LOT!   Why am I not "feeling" technique very quickly? What has been the biggest challenge as a business owner during covid? Should their be criteria for each belt?  We dig into all of these and many more Q's today.   If you enjoy this episode be sure to Subscribe to the show for all of our future content.   If you just absolutely LOVE free jiu-jitsu content go to simplifyingjiujitsu.com/opt-in to get a FREE copy of Josh's newest ebook "Simplifying Jiu-Jitsu."

For me(@thejoshmckinney) coming up in the St Louis Jiu-Jitsu scene there is one person that was never a part of my team, whom I believe had a huge influence on my jiu-jitsu. Whether by creating tournament series/super fight shows that I was able to compete on or training up opponents that I had the privilege of fighting. That person was Jw Wright(@jw.wright).   I think if there's one hidden thing to pull out of this interview it is how important it is to give back to your local jiu-jitsu community. That was something that Jw has always done. Even though you could argue that my team was his direct competitor in business and in competition there was always an open door policy both ways when to came to cross training and helping each other out.    If you enjoyed today's episode be sure to subscribe to the channel.   If you want to be a part of the simplifying jiu-jitsu email list go to simplifyingjiujitsu.com/opt-in and I will also send you a FREE copy of the "Simplifying Jiu-Jitsu" ebook that I recently wrote.  Be on the lookout for my new youtube series "Why You Suck at Jiu-Jitsu" where we break down the fine details of a move/position and explain what most people miss.

I ask, "How do I suck less at Jiu-Jitsu."   Everyone says, "Focus on the basics."  What does that mean? Is it like when you're 6 and ask where babies come from and your mom says, "you'll find out when you're older." Are we just not smart enough to know the basics?  Well, I have a theory on what the basics actually are and why everyone's answers to "the basics" are different.  Check out the Essentials of Jiu-Jitsu: Kimura  https://www.simplifyingjiujitsu.com/kimura  Join our FREE facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/300578951081386/
