Summary
On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some white belt BJJ tips that came from a Reddit BJJ forum. We break down 8 pieces of advice and discuss whether we agree or disagree with them.
Here is the list:
- Never date a girl/guy from the gym, (it’s easier to get better when you enjoy the place where you train).
- Stop trying to win. It makes you get hurt. Just get sweaty.
- Relax…Jiu-Jitsu is like farting. If you have to force it then it’s probably sh*t.
- Baby every injury (also tap quick).
- Technique is everything.
- Ask questions in person (don’t skip rounds)
- Recalibrate intensity and err on the side of too easy.
- 2 x a week for 10 years is better than 2 x a day for 3 years.

| 0:00.0 | What up, guys? Welcome to the Tujitsu podcast episode number 336. Today we're going to be jumping into some white belt tips. |
| 0:06.0 | The tips can be useful for people other than white belts, but it's going to be a white belts tips video is what we're going with because Eugene recently posted a picture or not a picture, but a post on Reddit. |
| 0:17.5 | And a lot of times Reddit can be an interesting place to say the least. You know what I mean? |
| 0:23.9 | Sometimes not the most nice place. A lot of people are there just, you know, trolling people, |
| 0:29.5 | whatever. They've always been very kind to me and I appreciate you guys in the Reddit community. |
| 0:34.5 | But basically, he posted a thing and he said, hey, you know, if you had, |
| 0:40.8 | what is a piece of advice you would give to yourself if you were a white belt over, again, that kind of thing. And people posted a bunch of them. And in true Reddit fashion, |
| 0:46.1 | many of them were very, like, silly and, you know, quasi-cometic. But many of them were pretty |
| 0:52.7 | good, even if they were kind of comedic. We have a few of those. And many of them were pretty good, even if they work in kind of comedic. |
| 0:54.3 | We have a few of those. |
| 0:55.4 | And some of them, like, were a piece of advice that I actually kind of disagree with, |
| 0:59.2 | but I think it gets to an interesting point. |
| 1:01.5 | And so what we were going to do today is give you some ideas on jiu-jitsu. |
| 1:04.8 | Again, white belt tips, this could be useful for anyone because a lot of these tips I'm looking at, I didn't nail these down until I was in some |
| 1:11.2 | cases a black belt. So I mean, these could hit anybody at any level. But, you know, the reason why we say |
| 1:17.0 | white belt is because we're saying, if you could have done something better from the beginning, |
| 1:23.4 | what would you have done? You know what I mean? That kind of thing. Where as, okay, it took you to |
| 1:28.1 | purple belt, to black belt, to five or six, seven, eight, nine years to learn this, what would |
| 1:32.8 | you've done if you could have learned it on day one, right? Now, I think the, you can't quite |
| 1:37.7 | learn something until you're ready for it. So I think this is where all the mistakes and the, |
| 1:41.2 | the difficulties that you have, they plow the field to make you ripe |
| 1:45.1 | and ready to receive the information that comes through, right? |
