On this episode we discuss 10 qualities of a smart Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.
This episode comes from an e-mail that Chewy had on his e-mail list. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, but the first 10 qualities that Chewy came up with.
Here is 1-10:
- Is motivated by their long-term goals, not
short-term gratification or feelings.
- Can focus on a particular technique for a longtime.
- Is willing to put themselves into uncomfortable
positions because they know growth doesn’t come from the
comfortable.
- Doesn’t avoid the tough rounds in the gym.
- Is smart enough to take rest days instead of trying
to push their already exhausted body to the limit since it leads to
subpar training at best, and injuries at
worst.
- Understands losing and failure is going to happen and doesn’t let it create paralyzing fear or worry.
- Has a game plan of their style.
- Works to improve their diet and lifestyle just as they improve their techniques.
- Takes part in physical conditioning to improve the strength and ability of their body. Since BJJ is dictated by the health and abilities of their body.
- Trains hard but doesn’t intentionally risk their training partner's health.
