Ever felt like the pursuit of Jiu Jitsu ranking belts is leaving you anxious, burned out, and perhaps on the brink of giving up? It's time to shift focus. This episode uncovers the pitfalls of belt chasing, exploring how this mindset creates unrealistic expectations, leading to a significant dropout rate within the Jiu Jitsu community. Delving deeper into the origins of this sport in Brazil, we highlight the essence of Jiu Jitsu where the joy was in training rather than belt accumulation.
Our discourse offers insights shared by seasoned black belts and academy owners that could revolutionize your Jiu Jitsu experience. We advocate for the abandonment of belt chasing and encourage enjoying the journey. Join us as we discuss the senselessness of comparing our progress with others and the beauty of embracing personal growth at our own pace.

Let's return to the roots, forget the belt, and pivot your Jiu Jitsu journey towards a more enriching and rewarding direction. So, train on and savor the ride!
