In Episode 120 of 40 & Fighting, we dive into the reality of competing in grappling — from the mental side to the physical grind — and how both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo shape the way you approach competition. This week we talk about: The mindset you need when stepping into competition How Judo training changes your stand-up and confidence How Jiu-Jitsu competition strategy differs from regular training Lessons learned from competing (wins, losses, and everything in between) Real mat stories, hard lessons, and plenty of laughs Whether you're getting ready for your first tournament or you've been competing for years, this episode breaks down what actually matters when it's time to perform. If you train BJJ, Judo, wrestling, or MMA grappling, this one is for you. Drop a comment: Do you prefer competing in Gi, No-Gi, or Judo rules — and why?
