About this listen
Have you ever felt burned out from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
In this episode of the Mat Rats Podcast, we talk about what happens when BJJ stops being fun — and how to get your motivation back.
From the blue belt blues to training plateaus, competition pressure, ego struggles, and burnout, every grappler goes through seasons where Jiu Jitsu feels more like a job than a passion.
We break down:
Why burnout happens in BJJ
How plateaus actually signal growth
The mental side of losing motivation
How ego kills enjoyment
Practical ways to make training fun again
How to reconnect with why you started training
Whether you’re a white belt, blue belt, or black belt, this conversation will hit home.
If you train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, compete in grappling tournaments, or just love the art, this episode is for you.
