I recently got a question from a BJJ practitioner who is at a new gym and is struggling with her ranking.
She says that she’s a 3 stripe White Belt. But her BJJ training has been broken up a bit. And she also says that this particular Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym is very tough.
Her question is how to deal with the feeling of false advertising when she’s in the gym with her belt.
She has 3 stripes on her White Belt but she doesn’t feel like a 3 stripe BJJ White Belt.
In this video, I talk about a situation where I felt very similar as a Brown Belt.
I had gone down to train at a really tough gym and by the end of the 1st night I felt like I was being an imposter.
But I was able to get over the mental block and make the most of my time by taking on the mindset I did when I was a fresh new BJJ White Belt myself.
I hope this video is useful for you if you’re in a situation like this. Where you go to a Brazilian Jiujitsu gym and feel like you don’t measure up.
