How Intense Should My BJJ Training Be For Competitions and MMA?

Спорт

How intense should your BJJ training be inside the gym when you're wanting to prepare for a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition or possibly MMA? This is today's question.
In this video I touch on the topic of intensity 1st and the idea that you can't really know the intensity of training until you experience it in person.
When you compete you essentially have a license to fight another person in the agreed upon rules and it's completely ok. This isn't true anywhere else in society.
I experienced these conditions in Wrestling tournaments, Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions and MMA fights. And I can tell you that from my personal experience, when you're competing you're tapped into an intensity that just isn't present in normal conditions.
At the very least it's hard to do.
From there I briefly talk about how you might prepare for a competition using a mixture of intense and lighter training to allow the body to recover.
I hope you enjoy the video!

    What you're supposed to do is tell the guy "let's just flow" and then go as hard as you can.

    In my opinion doing tournaments is like leveling up. Not in a since of belt color but your mental game. Push the mind and the body follows.

    I've competed a lot but in normal training sessions I am pretty laid back. I only train hard a few weeks before competitions until about a week before. Even when I do train hard, nothing can replicate the adrenaline rush you get while competing. I'm actually competing tomorrow so I havent rolled since Monday.

    I paused the video before you answered. Here's my gut reaction : "that depends on your partner bro. Train harder with anyone who is happy to train hard with you. Train lighter with others". A very good grappler once told me, when I asked him why he wanted to go with me often when he was prepping for a fight if the other guys could give him real competition - he said "cardio is cardio at this point. I'l. go with those guys too." Love your vids Chewy

    Well, it all depends on you experience. Once you're on that level plain with those you roll with, intensity and depth should be a common... to really grapple is to be in a state of kinetic explosiveness, Idle but volatile on command. Over pain, stress, and bad position.

    Hey Chewy, question for ya, I recently was promoted to blue belt about a month ago, and since that promotion Ive felt like it was rushed and in my mind I am still a white belt. I have mentally demoted myself back to white belt. Do I bring this up to the instructor who promoted me? Should I agree with their decision, maybe they see something I dont? I feel like this thought interrupts my rolls and time on the mat, and I perform worse since the promotion. Any thoughts or help would be awesome!! -Bob

    Anyone got advice on “flipping that switch” to just go to that “i’m gonna win mentality”? I find if i’m in bottom positions or getting smashed and tapped quickly I start getting that voice in my head that’s like we’re getting out of this and i’ll flip a dude. How do i get the mind set before i get in those rough spots?

There is a lot of big guys at my gym and I mean I would like to eat to try put on some weight but I feel like I can’t eat before training because it feels like I’m going to be sick from the pressure that is put on my stomach. Any tips or tricks for getting around this?

    Hopefully this guys gym will have an interclub comp he can do before he does a real comp. Those are basically the same. The intensity comes from points being on the line. When you are about to lose 1st place if the guy successfully knee slices through you half guard, you fight hard to not let him pass. If it''s just a roll, meh.

I’m submitting blue belts and most people in my gym. Yet my coach thinks I’m not ready for competition. What do I do?
