  • 225: How Do You Take Your Jiu-Jitsu Seriously if You Don't Compete?
    2025/10/09

    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.
