I’m watching this after just getting spiritually beaten down after losing time and time and time and time again from classmates clearly better than me. And this video helps a little. Thank you
Professor, you nailed it! Man I still feel like this as a purple belt! Peers ask me how long you’ve been training and when they hear my response, they’re like wow you must know a lot! My response is no not really. There’s so much to learn. Thanks for sharing.
I have been youtube searching "I suck at Jiu Jitsu" for 30 min. This is first video that makes sense to me. Uconsciously bad, consciously bad(me haha), consciously good, unconsciously good.
Feel better now any updates? I’m 1 year in and question everyday why did these people give me 3 stripes on my white belt, please take them back I’m terrible 😅
You never know that newbie’s background - could be a wrestler - I came in fresh, but with almost 30 years martial arts experience - you just never know…
I totally agree. A good example is when you first start as a white belt you may seem to be struggling for a long time and feel you're not improving. Then a new guy comes in and you roll them for the first time and realize how much you've learned and improved. ❤
Been going for 3 months. Still haven’t tapped anyone and guys who came in around the same time are leap frogging me, but it’s fun though, but would like to start winning
Doing this for almost half a year and I feel like I lost momentum. Meaning that in the begning I was jumping on the oponent, attacking all the time, and now I am just brawling with my partners for hours and many times I don't get them tapped....
Close to 4 months in and I'm asking this question, I Suckkk!!!. The only thing I feel is getting better is the stamina but I suck at bjj. This video helped a bit but still disappointing.
I was recently (Nov. 2022) promoted to brown belt by my very well-known instructor(s), but don't feel that I know enough to represent the belt well. I've taken to returning to mastering the basics. I don't want my black belt until I feel it... Is this a wrong sentiment? BTW, I train 4-5 times per week and I rarely miss class...
When I got my blue belt a few months ago I felt the same! Wanted it so hard and once I got it, I felt that I didn’t “deserved” yet. I fell that I’m better than the white belts but there’s still an effort to tap a few of them out.
I legit get worse... I know because Train 10-15 times a week. Get worse. Take time off for whatever reason, come back - smash. Train again 10 times a week. Get worse. Not subbing anyone Take time off for whatever reason, Come back - sub everyone. Train again 8 times a week. Get worse. Tapped by lower belts. Take time off for whatever reason, Come back - sub upper belts. Mind = blown.
I swear to god i remember when this actually happened to me and i remember that i once just raged in training and punched the opponent and knocked him out since im a MMA fighter and i have a very good striking..So please do never rage and not knock someone out accidentelly pleaseee
My man, check this idea out. This is probably the source of that feeling which very well could be a sign of your growth, as counter-intuitive as that might seem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
What are your current goals for continuing to train? I find it can be useful to also remember why you started training. What about your motivation has changed between then and now?

"You will get more from jiu-jitsu, then you will ever put into it" now thats a hell of a quote right there. 🔥

It's all about finding people your skill level size for you can practice the technique and if that don't work find a different School

I know I suck that’s not the problem..
I just can care less, just going though the motions.
I’m apathetic, I would be happy to be to get pissed.

everyone sucks at BJJ, that’s just the way it is.
