Grumpy Guy BJJ Episode 2 - Advice for white belts...and why it applies to us as well.

In this episode of Grumpy Guy BJJ we discuss some of our favorite podcasts as well as our advice to new people at our gym...and why those things apply to us as well.

Some of the highlights from this episode include:

- The basic stuff that should be obvious but isn’t…and can lead to some difficult conversations.

- Why it is essential to learn the difference between applying an on-off switch and a volume knob to your effort levels.

- What your effort levels should be when drilling and rolling.

- Why 100% effort isn’t a “technique”.

- How your ego can get in the way of your learning process.

- How to be a good partner when drilling.

- How to approach rolling with smaller, weaker opponents.

- Why being hyper defensive and just surviving may not be the best way to learn.

- The secret weapon that can greatly improve your progression…but know one uses.

Thanks for the support so far, if you have any thoughts or suggestions for future subjects to cover please leave them in the comments below. We’ll be meeting before noon class again next week to record another episode so stay tuned for more Grumpy Guy BJJ.

Until next time…
