Summary

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss why BJJ is so addicting. We discuss the “trifecta” that addicts BJJ athletes and three additional reasons that keep you “Mat Addicts” coming back for more. We also discuss some ideas on why people quit BJJ.

The "BJJ Trifecta":

  1. Learning/Feedback loop.
  2. Stress Management.
  3. Community and social aspect.

Three byproducts of the "BJJ Trifecta":

  1. Achieving “mindlessness” and “flow State.”
  2. Improved Fitness and lifestyle.
  3. Feeling of accomplishment skill acquisition.
