Transcripts
someone is starting J Jitsu what would
be the advice you give to someone
starting Jitsu white belt um not to
overdo it in the beginning okay cuz some
people they get really excited and they
get addicted right and then you get
burnt out one week training every day so
to pace yourself right think of it as
like a longdistance run G2 not a Sprint
so maybe if you train a week straight
you'll get further but the person that
trained two to three days a week steady
they'll get further than you cuz you
have to stop and we want to do Jiu-Jitsu
our whole life right
so it's not just a small camp or
something it's a life camp like you're
in Camp for life so the balance yourself
and do it healthy you know I see so many
people again quit Jiu-Jitsu because they
just try to springen the beginning and
Mike do you think that it's important
for them to find the right Academy as
well because sometimes what they do they
start uh sparring in the first day yeah
so um I think that for sure the energy
of the gym that was what I was already
assuming was good but but uh if you go
to the wrong gym with bad energy and you
train day one not knowing anything you
can get hurt you know and uh it's very
important that you're in a gym that's
safe and that the people that you're
training with want to help you and make
sure that you're safe you know cuz they
need to have control of their bodies
it's so dangerous to train with people
that don't have control of their bodies
and when you're a beginner you don't so
it's very important that you're with
people that know how to control their
bodies and that are safe and good energy
so choosing your gym right and training
safe and steady I think those are the
two biggest things and what would be a
bad energy you say in the gym um bad
energy would be a gym where they just
have you spar right away and they try to
hurt each other and fight you know day
one you shouldn't be rolling and like
fighting each other like you have no
control of your body you could fall
wrong the person doesn't know when they
have a submission so when you first
start Jiu-Jitsu you're in a submission
you don't know when you're like half to
tap you just go a pop so it's very
important that you have people that know
this control your your body cuz you
can't control your body yet I think
that's the biggest thing people that
know how to control their body and they
can control your body to keep you safe
instead of two people have no control of
their bodies Training Day One breaking
things because they have no idea what
they're doing means that they have to
learn the technique first almost like
Master the technique that uh if they go
for the submission they're taking care
of uh each other exactly like you guys
did today for an hour we're just we have
full control so we're both very safe you
know uh but if you're just and you have
no control of your body you need to
train with people that have control of
their bodies that can control you you
know um even for me like if I vote I
don't like training with people that uh
don't have control of their bodies
because I have to use more energy CU I
have to control them right they have no
control so we have to control them so I
think it's very important learning how
to control your body and then training
with people that you don't have to
control at first cuz you're a beginner
right I think it's an interesting
concept how about your kenned what do
you think Kennedy about what what is the
the the tips of we to give to white belt
who just starting Jitsu going along with
Mike said everybody has a different body
so don't try to copy someone that maybe
does like uh every day two times a day
or maybe I don't know three times a day
uh your body might be different so go on
your own pace right feel your body
whenever you start doing Jiu-Jitsu and
uh it's very important to you got to
feel you got to find a place that uh has
a good environment right if you don't
find a place that good environment uh
things just going to aggravate right
you're not going to enjoy first
jiu-jitsu you're not going to learn and
the third you might get hurt and you
quit and if you get hurt right in the
beginning most likely you're not going
to go back to JSU you're going to ha
youu Jitsu right so you have to find a
place like Mike just said that save that
they know what what they're doing so
they're going to guide you like
basically going to give you a position
and also they going to make you uh drew
that position then later maybe a light
position train from that position and
then you're going to start to understand
what's what's Jiu-Jitsu like and then I
think one more thing to add on is having
fun I think that the beauty of ji- jits
for me and like for a lot of people uh
working out at the gym is not fun right
but Jiu-Jitsu it's a cheat way to work
out where you're not even thinking about
working out cuz you're having so much
fun so I think that uh you have to make
sure you're having fun when you're
training if you're not having fun and
you're miserable you're just you're it's
a workout for you so how consistent are
you going to be if it's a workout that
you're miserable doing I got to go work
out no you're not going to do it long
term but if you're having fun and you're
enjoying it every day now you're not
even thinking about working out because
you're learning you're having fun you're
learning positions in you get to so for
me that's my favorite part that it's fun
and that makes me work out way more
because you're having fun you're not
thinking about working out how they can
have fun Mike how I think the fun part
of Jiu-Jitsu is problem solving like
Puzzles it's it's literally a problem
solved puzzle right you're doing an
armar and the person defends one way you
do something else so it's Action
Reaction right and you're constantly
adding different puzzles and you have to
keep solving them wait I can't do my
move now what did the person just do
they reacted a different way and now you
have to solve how they reacted you know
and that for me is my favorite part of
Jiu-Jitsu you know when me and Kennedy
trained he gives me a thousand reactions
that I have to solve on the spot he
makes the move not work anymore and then
I have to like figure out a new way for
like an hour straight to solve that and
then he just instantly changes it again
and then we do it again you know so it's
a never ending puzzle Jiu-Jitsu and I
think that that is the difference and
that's what makes it really fun and you
don't really feel like you're working
out because you're just solving a puzzle
and this along applies to life no Mike
100% off the mat agree 100% agree what
we learned here we definitely could
apply to life you know and that's why
martial arts is so good for kids
right excellent thank you Mike thank
Kennedy thank you guys
