Dean Lister on the Importance of Listening In BJJ | #1 Mistake People Make In Their BJJ Training?

In this segment of Ask A Black Belt, Prof. Dean Lister shares his perspective on the question, "What is the #1 mistake people make in their BJJ training?" This question was submitted by Mitchel - thanks for contributing the question, Mitchel!
Prof. Lister's response centers around the importance of listening to people that are more experienced than you. He concludes that you need to minimize the negative in your life, and the way you can do that is by listening to those people who are doing Jiu Jitsu who have already been there and learning from their experience.

I'd love a series of talking to grapplers over 40 and how they've adapted their game now their bodies are slowing down.

@@Spencerjones_music3 The weakest point of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are newbies that spell Jiu Jitsu wrong and from the start think they are doing Jiu Jitsu and not Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. There is a reason there is a B in BJJ.
Jokes aside, When you talk BJJ there are two universes: - Gracie Jiu Jitsu (self defense "vale tudo" martial art for the fight on the street and MMA) and there is - Sport BJJ for BJJ competitions.
The weakest point in BJJ is when you practice your whole life Sport BJJ like for instance Roger Gracie and try to go into MMA thinking you are Royce Gracie.
They are two complete different arts and BJJ practitionaires frequently assume they are one and the same.
I hope it answered your question.
