Do you ever catch yourself downplaying how much you care about Jiu-Jitsu just because you don’t compete?
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “serious enough” about your training as a non-competitor, this episode is for you. What does it mean to take your Jiu Jitsu seriously—even when chasing gold medals isn’t your focus?
We dig into what purposeful training looks like for recreational practitioners, how to balance goal-setting with busy grown-up life, and why “serious” Jiu Jitsu is more about intention than intensity.
This episode is about helping you create a meaningful, purpose-driven path in Jiu-Jitsu that fits your life.

(04:50) Healthy Expectations: Finding Balance Between Fun and Progress in Jiu-Jitsu
(05:51) Navigating Busy Seasons: How to Prioritize Jiu Jitsu When Life Gets Hectic
(07:30) Can You Be a “Serious” Practitioner If You Don’t Compete?
(08:31) How to Be Taken Seriously by Your Coaches and Teammates (Without Competing)
(09:41) Size, Strength, and Technique: When Does It Really Matter?
(12:47) Tips for Smaller Grapplers—Using Your Unique Attributes on the Mat
(13:47) How To Support and Communicate With Training Partners
(15:05) Boosting Confidence: What If Your Technique Doesn’t Work Against Bigger Opponents?
