Get Pro-Level BJJ Study Skills

Want to know a secret? You don't have to spend your life on the mat to amass a professional-level knowledge of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. 

Not only do most of us lack the time - we have families, careers, school, and any number of other hobbies or obligations - but it is absolutely taxing on the human body. There is definitely a fine line between training just enough, and too much... as many of us older than 30 have found out (numerous times). In fact, even the pros don't spend each and every waking moment on the mat. They recognize that it's entirely unfeasible, and in many ways, counterproductive. 

No, the best practitioners in the world recognize that there is an optimal balance between training the body on-the-mat, and training the brain off-the-mat, through studying BJJ. But just as there are more productive ways to physically train jiu-jitsu, there are more productive, and efficient, ways to mentally study the gentle art. Heard the saying: "work smarter, not harder"? The same applies with jiu-jitsu.

But what, exactly, does that mean? We've broken it down for you. Check out these four key considerations that help you study BJJ "smarter, not harder":

• Know Where to Start
• Translate Your Knowledge
• Drill with Intention
• Question Everything
