Does earning a Jiu Jitsu black belt take 10 years? Does the thought of time commitment like this in a sport hold others back from even starting in the first place?

On episode 11 we review this objection and ways we can view the time commitment as a positive element of the overall "Jiu Jitsu journey"

Starting jiu jitsu is not an easy task. Often it is said the hardest belt to achieve is the white belt, the first of the belts which you give yourself by starting and committing to jiu jitsu training.

In this first objections episode we talk about Injuries. The fear and realistic concerns surrounding jiu jitsu injuries hold many back from experiencing our spot. We discuss why this is such a common objection and various ways we can handle.

These episodes we cover objections to starting are perfect for coaches, gym employees, and advanced students to understand so we can help get more people into the gyms and over their fears of injuries.

In Episode 9 we talk to students, leaders, and coaches in jiu jitsu, focusing on one of the most under-celebrated accomplishments in our sport.

This episode is a great example of what to expect from upcoming coach and leadership episodes where we talk directly to, and with, jiu jitsu coaches on topics of leadership and business .

Continuing our discussion on how to learn faster. We discuss creating and using labs. Jiu jitsu can be tough to decide how best to study but by the use of labs we get to test and refine what we are learning.

I share my tips for creating labs and avoid making the #1 mistake I have made in implementing labs for studying and learning multiple things.
