Hardest job of a BJJ instructor
Hardest job of a BJJ instructor
What is the hardest job of a BJJ instructor? My hardest job as an instructor to make you believe in yourself, that you can do what are teaching you, that all the upperbelts and instructors you that you think are “amazing” or “beasts” have been exactly where you are now. You have to TRUST THE PROCESS! And LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR!
It’s has been so nice lately to see guys and girls who are making real progress, getting better every day. So many of you have gotten significantly better in the past 2-3 months. Maybe it isn’t showing in “taps” but the improvement is really significant to me, remember I can see things you can’t see. Gonna shout some of you out. The common theme between all of them? they come to class. It’s not easy to come and be tapped. But that is how you learn! You lose weight but eating less and portion control. If you don’t, it doesn’t work. Same w BJJ. If you don’t train, it’s very hard to get better. I need the whitebelts to get in class. And i don’t mean fundamentals class. That is not class. That is the class to get you ready for real class. Stop creating safe spaces for yourself. Face your fears, your insecurities. Stop avoiding people who are getting the better of you in training. If you are one of those people who after class, avoiding training and masks it by “teaching”, you are only hurting yourself. TRUST THE PROCESS!
Whitebelts-get in class and give yourself 6 months of training. I GUARANTEE you will be a mentally stronger person in 6 months. 100%. But we can’t want it for you. You need to take some personal responsibility. And those of you that are police, please, please, please get in a class! Are you kidding me? What we are doing can save your life, a partner, a fellow LEO. Your #3 option after family and work should be to be here.
PLEASE trust me, your life will be better in 6 months if you start today. Here is your plan:
1) 2-3 days a week (including Blitz.
2) Stay 30 minutes after class and train (no phone checking or BSing on mat, LIVE training, not an upper belt “showing you something” sweat, move, react!
3) 20 minutes 2x a week home studying of the video curriculum we are teaching
TRUST ME PLEASE. You want real change? Start today!
See you on the mats.
