At some point almost all Brazilian Jiu Jitsu students say “I’m training more, but my BJJ is getting worse! Why?!” In this video I explain why this happens, and why you should embrace that feeling! It happens to BJJ white belts, blue belts, purple, belts, brown belts, and yes, even black belts!
I believe skill acquisition and progression in Jiu Jitsu follows four levels in a cyclical nature:
1) You become unconsciously bad
2) You become consciously bad
3) You become consciously good
4) You become unconsciously good
Watch this video and learn about each of these levels, and how you can better embrace this feeling when it crops up during your journey!

"You will get more from jiu-jitsu, then you will ever put into it" now thats a hell of a quote right there. 🔥
I’m watching this after just getting spiritually beaten down after losing time and time and time and time again from classmates clearly better than me. And this video helps a little. Thank you
I have been youtube searching "I suck at Jiu Jitsu" for 30 min. This is first video that makes sense to me. Uconsciously bad, consciously bad(me haha), consciously good, unconsciously good.
Bluebelt here. I have the bluebelt blues and thats what brought me here. Thank you for the info. Ill train today with a different mindset now.
i have trained everyday for like 8 months, last week a newbie came in and made me tap i feel like i really suck at this
Feel better now any updates?
I’m 1 year in and question everyday why did these people give me 3 stripes on my white belt, please take them back I’m terrible 😅
You never know that newbie’s background - could be a wrestler - I came in fresh, but with almost 30 years martial arts experience - you just never know…
Professor, you nailed it! Man I still feel like this as a purple belt! Peers ask me how long you’ve been training and when they hear my response, they’re like wow you must know a lot! My response is no not really. There’s so much to learn. Thanks for sharing.
You got it, brother!
I agree with you! I'm a purple too.
Oh the dunning-kruger effect...
Ty ...I needed hear this perspective! Good stuff
Thank you coach! I appreciate the advice!! 🙏💯
Great to hear. I thought I was getting worse but maybe I'm now aware of the game!
Absolutely needed this, thank you. Oss
Definitely needed this video
Yeah, I’m a 4 stripe white and I know I’m bad.
Thanks I needed this
Thank you!
I totally agree. A good example is when you first start as a white belt you may seem to be struggling for a long time and feel you're not improving.
Then a new guy comes in and you roll them for the first time and realize how much you've learned and improved.
❤
I felt like this for the past recent years.
The exact answer I needed to hear thanks!! Keep on embracing the suck lol.
Been going for 3 months. Still haven’t tapped anyone and guys who came in around the same time are leap frogging me, but it’s fun though, but would like to start winning

Thanks
3.5 year in
white still , 5 time a week
some day good, some day getting worse
so much to learn ,
can this apply to football aswell or only bjj
Doing this for almost half a year and I feel like I lost momentum. Meaning that in the begning I was jumping on the oponent, attacking all the time, and now I am just brawling with my partners for hours and many times I don't get them tapped....
2 years passed, now a blue belt, still feeling bad 😅😅😅
I am a Brown Belt train 6 days a week and feel like I'm getting worse.
Close to 4 months in and I'm asking this question, I Suckkk!!!. The only thing I feel is getting better is the stamina but I suck at bjj. This video helped a bit but still disappointing.
Never give up, only losers quit !
It's all about finding people your skill level size for you can practice the technique and if that don't work find a different School
I was recently (Nov. 2022) promoted to brown belt by my very well-known instructor(s), but don't feel that I know enough to represent the belt well. I've taken to returning to mastering the basics. I don't want my black belt until I feel it... Is this a wrong sentiment? BTW, I train 4-5 times per week and I rarely miss class...
Recently received my purple belt and I feel the same way.
@@cmpoland420 just go back to the basics; you'll do fine...
When I got my blue belt a few months ago I felt the same! Wanted it so hard and once I got it, I felt that I didn’t “deserved” yet. I fell that I’m better than the white belts but there’s still an effort to tap a few of them out.
I swear to god i remember when this actually happened to me and i remember that i once just raged in training and punched the opponent and knocked him out since im a MMA fighter and i have a very good striking..So please do never rage and not knock someone out accidentelly pleaseee
Cool story dude
I legit get worse... I know because
Train 10-15 times a week. Get worse.
Take time off for whatever reason, come back - smash.
Train again 10 times a week. Get worse. Not subbing anyone
Take time off for whatever reason, Come back - sub everyone.
Train again 8 times a week. Get worse. Tapped by lower belts.
Take time off for whatever reason, Come back - sub upper belts.
Mind = blown.
I know I suck that’s not the problem..
I just can care less, just going though the motions.
I’m apathetic, I would be happy to be to get pissed.
What are your current goals for continuing to train? I find it can be useful to also remember why you started training. What about your motivation has changed between then and now?
I'm a blue belt I feel like I'm getting worse
My man, check this idea out. This is probably the source of that feeling which very well could be a sign of your growth, as counter-intuitive as that might seem.
