    191: Gameplans and Growth Lessons from Jiu-Jitsu Competition Training Camp
    Jun 20 2024
    How much planning, preparation, and practice have you committed to the first 30 seconds of your match? Taking control and setting the tone of your match by focusing on the first 30 seconds was just one of of the big lessons from our recent adventure to attend Rachel Casias’ competition training camp. Training camps are transformative experiences. They provide targeted, intensive training and the chance to engage deeply with a community of like-minded practitioners. They also serve as a reminder of the continuous nature of learning and the ever-present opportunities for personal and skill development. In this episode, we are sharing lessons learned that apply to life on and off the mat. If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

    190: Finding Your Stand-Up Game in Jiu-Jitsu
    Jun 6 2024
    How confident are you in your stand-up game? It’s a question that often goes unasked, but it’s one that can make a significant difference in your Jiu-Jitsu practice. Do you have a go-to takedown? Are you a guard puller? Understanding and developing your stand-up game is crucial for a well-rounded Jiu-Jitsu practice. If you don’t have a go-to takedown (like Jen) or guard pull, this episode is for you! We'll explore different approaches to stand-up, from judo-inspired takedowns to wrestling techniques, and discuss how to find the right fit for your style and body type. This episode is packed with actionable steps to help you feel more confident and competent on your feet. The Highlight Reel Experimentation is Key: Try out various stand-up techniques to find what works best for you. Consistency Matters: Regular practice and drilling are essential to mastering any takedown. Adaptability: Be prepared to adjust your techniques based on your opponent's reactions and your own strengths. Purposeful Guard Pulling: If you choose to pull guard, do it with intention and strategy, not out of fear or frustration. Community Support: Engaging with your gym community and seeking advice from experienced practitioners can significantly improve your stand-up game. If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!
