Something I learned pretty recently about BJJ, is the fact that whether you have Bad Cardio Bad Strength You can still be pretty good Now of course if you're in the position that I was in a year and a half ago, where I was pretty skinny Then you'd need to add some weight for sure But even then Whilst speed and strength are corner stones of Jiu-Jitsu There're not the reason why Jiu-jitsu works Jiu-Jitsu was made to use other peoples strength against themselves And there comes a certain point in BJJ, where you learn to control your speed and strength the right way, and be able to beat someone who's stronger, and faster, but you seem to be stronger and faster to them, because you know how to control your speed and strength the right way. And that's what I love about Jiu-jitsu Is that you can learn a new form of mind to body connection, that is very powerful Same with wrestling I assume But I do BJJ Hopefully this post helps And one thing I want everyone to take away is that No matter how bad your cardio, or strength is Unless you look like you're starving You can beat anyone with superior technique Comment W if this post was Value!!!

Hi everyone, my name is Jarrod, a digital nomad living in Greece. Back when I was in New Zealand I did a fair amount of MMA - and BJJ was obviously a big part of that. What I liked most about BJJ was the ability to roll more intensely without the high impact of striking (always seemed more sustainable to me). Since traveling I haven't had as many opportunities to train with others so mostly do shadow sparring and striking now. I have been traveling for 3 years so my ground game will be super rusty by now - a great reason for me to join this community! Something else that might interest you is a new type of strength training I have developed using principles from BJJ. It has a lot of applications and I have a free community here on that - so if you want to check that out you are more than welcome to. Great to be here, and I look forward to seeing this community grow (hopefully some other people from Greece will show up here soon enough!)
