Summary

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss what a "BJJ Belt Hunter" is and what to do if there is one at your gym.

Chewy discusses the importance of your intention when rolling and why you should focus on implementing your techniques instead of trying to beat a higher ranked training partner, how being a "belt hunter" and worrying about winning will slow your BJJ progression, Chewy and Eugene's experiences traveling to other gyms, ideas to think about when training with an upper belt, how a coach should deal with a belt hunter from the gym and also how to deal with a visitor, how to get better by changing your focus, Chewy’s experience at this year’s Origin Immersion Camp, favorite memories at Origin Camp, and the importance of solidifying your game and not trying to learn everything.

0:00.0	What up, guys? So today on the jujitsu podcast, Eugene and I are just us today, no interviews.
0:05.0	We're going to talk to you guys about an idea of bewearing of the belt hunters. And I'll talk more about that idea in a second.
0:12.0	But it comes based upon some questions I've had recently and also some experiences that I've had recently being at seminars, being at jitsu camps like the origin
0:22.2	immersion camp that I was at recently, and having people going hard, but trying to not be
0:29.5	disrespectful. And then on the flip side, rolling with people where, to give you an idea,
0:34.2	there are roles where people will roll with me really hard and they're great roles and I have a blast with them.
0:40.2	There's also roles where I go with people and I feel like after I'm done, I'm just like, I don't want to do that again.
0:46.5	I don't want to roll with that person again.
0:48.1	And many of you that have been training for a long time, you'll know very much what I'm talking about as we get into it. Um, and if you're a lower belt,
0:55.4	then you can use this as kind of an idea to steer clear of, you know, being seen as a particular
1:02.7	type of person that maybe is to be avoided during rolling or has to be rough roll, that kind of thing.
1:08.5	Um, and again, it doesn't really have anything to do with how hard you're going. It has to do with something else. We'll talk more about that in a second. And
1:14.5	we'll also talk about the origin camp overall. I'll talk about my experiences and stuff like that.
1:19.2	And many of you guys that were that are listening to this, you guys came to the origin camp
1:22.7	this year. So I met many of you guys and it was very cool. And so with that said, let's jump into it. So big thanks to our sponsors for help and make this podcast happen, Charlotte's Web.
1:31.3	Charlotte's Web, CBD, they are one of the premier CBD companies out there.
1:35.7	They're one of the CBD companies that I originally heard of way back in the day, probably
1:39.6	at this point, probably 10, 12, 10 or 11 ago, I heard about him the first time.
1:45.3	And, you know, again, with CBD was one of those things where I didn't really think much of it.
1:49.8	It sounded like some snake oil, you know, supplement.
1:53.4	Lots of benefits, but, you know, that's all I thought about it, right?
1:57.2	It sounds like a lot of benefits, but I just couldn't get down with it.
