Does Size Matter? In this episode of the "I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show," we're tackling 10 of the most persistent myths in the BJJ world. From the idea that size doesn't matter to the misconception that all black belts know everything, we're breaking down the beliefs that might be holding you back. We'll explore why not all black belts are created equal, touching on the 80/20 principle and how a small percentage of practitioners hold a vast majority of the knowledge. We’ll also challenge the notion that Jiu-Jitsu is just about memorizing techniques—because in reality, it's an adaptive, ever-evolving art, not a rigid list of moves to recite. Plus, we'll brutally debunk ideas like "never tap to pressure" and the flawed mentality of "you just shouldn’t get there." This episode is all about challenging what you think you know about Jiu-Jitsu, encouraging you to question the status quo, and helping you see the art from a fresh perspective. Tune in for a myth-busting discussion that might just change the way you approach your training!
