72. Maximising the Mat: 10 Ways to Get More from Your BJJ

In this episode of The Gi Spot, Kaz strips back the fluff and lays out 10 high‑impact ways to extract more from every training session — whether you’re showing up twice a week or chasing gold. From mindset shifts to behind‑the‑scenes tweaks, we cover how to turn time on the mat into genuine progress. Expect blunt truth, real‑life stories from the gym, a few laughs, and one or two uncomfortable insights (because growth doesn’t come from comfort zones).

We dive into things like: how to show up (not just physically), how to roll with purpose instead of going through the motions, how sleep + recovery matter more than you think, how to set micro‑goals between classes, how your non‑training life affects that 90 minutes on the mat — and a whole lot more.

Whether you’re a white belt still learning what the hell “kimura” means or a seasoned belt wondering why you’ve hit a plateau, this episode gives you actionable tools to get more out of your gi time. Lace up, warm up, roll on.
