On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the idea of why struggling with Jiu-Jitsu early on can be a benefit.
We also discuss why every defect has a positive effect, finding the love for training, why time is your ally in BJJ, when BJJ athletes who were slower starters begin to improve, one of the biggest hinderances in improving your BJJ, the value of studying longer form content, how to better learn a technique, the evolution of skill through the belt ranks, why every curse becomes a benefit, how to tell if BJJ is not for you, and expectations vs. standards.

0:00.0 | What up, guys. Welcome to another jujitsu podcast. We're here today to chat with you guys about obviously jiu jitsu. As you guys, you listen to the podcast all the time. You know this. Or if you're new, then welcome aboard. Glad to have you. Today we're going to talk about an idea. It's something that I've noticed with a lot of students over the years. And I was talking to someone about this the other day, about how the idea is really |
0:22.5 | simple, right? |
0:23.6 | We'll get into it a second, but how in some cases, it's better to be a student who comes in |
0:29.5 | with less natural ability, less natural gifts in the gym than the opposite, where you have |
0:35.2 | someone like if you've ever come into the gym and you've |
0:37.7 | seen someone who's just naturally gifted right out of the gate, they're already doing well, |
0:42.0 | why that sometimes can be a problem. It sounds kind of, you know, a bit stranger. It's a bit |
0:49.6 | different than what we probably think intuitively, but I'll explain why, and they both have pros |
0:53.2 | and cons to it. |
0:57.8 | But there is a benefit in, you know, I'm one of those people who sucked a lot in the beginning. We'll talk about why that can be an advantage to you. A big thanks to our sponsors |
1:01.9 | for helping make this podcast happen. Charlott's Web, CBD, if you guys have never checked them out, |
1:06.0 | charlesweb.com is the website. And if you go on there again, try whatever product you like. I'm a big fan of |
1:11.9 | their tincture. That's what I use, the little eyedropper, but they have some great gummies that |
1:15.6 | sort of include dietary supplements along with the CBD. But again, do your research on CBD to see |
1:21.6 | if it's a right thing for you. But CBD has been one of those things where as I'm getting a little |
1:25.3 | bit older, I just had my 39th birthday a couple of weeks ago. |
1:28.4 | And having supplements and having different routines to assist with recovery is beneficial. |
1:34.5 | And CBD is one of those things that I feel like I get some benefit from. |
1:38.8 | So again, if you guys want to check them out, you can go to charlesweb.com, pick whatever you like from their website and whatever you buy. |
