I think so.
Is that true?
Wow.
I tell my team all the time that competing, I don't care if you're, if you want to be the next world champion or you're just a soccer mom that wants to dabble, it's only going to help your jujitsu journey. Now, with that said, I also think this is important and this is from Joao who won ADCC. So he knows how to have a champion's mindset, right?
Don't ever fucking sign up for a tournament and say, I'm going to go down there and win or learn. Right. Because if there's people there that are dead set. Oh, you've already given yourself an out. You're already giving yourself an out. Like, do not sign up for a tournament. And just say, hey, I'm going to learn. Yeah.
Set the bar low and then trip over it. If you want to compete. go and make sure you put in the work, you get in shape, you're doing what you need to do to take gold. Because if you're not doing that, you're just, what are we really doing here to start with, right?
But with that said, if you go down there and you know you put in the work and you showed up in shape and you did what you're supposed to do and you still get smoked, your jiu-jitsu is only going to grow from that.
Yeah. Learn how to fucking lose. When I watched Boucher go against Gordon Ryan, I was like, oh, even him. And Boucher locked onto one of his feet, and Gordon started laughing at him. That's not confidence inspired. And then Marcus laughed back at him because they both had an understanding. He's like, ah, fuck, dude. Yeah, I just went into your fucking A game.
You're like, fuck. Let me ask you this. Maybe not now as a black belt because you've been doing it for a long time, but when you were new to the mats and you had someone just... either Mount neon belly side control to where you couldn't breathe. You couldn't move. Did you feel those anxiety emotions kicking in? Sure. And like that panic kicking in. Yep.
See dude, like that's something you just got to eat it. You got to eat it. But dude, there's a, in my opinion, that's where the most growth happens for people in jujitsu. Yeah. Cause it forces you to deal with, cause what's happening is fighter flights kicking in, uh, you're clearly losing the fight and you can't get away. Yeah. So you're out of options. And now what? Yeah.
And the, the now what option is endure what, whatever's about to happen, or you can tap out, but then you'll have to fucking hang your head in shame because you tapped a pressure.
Soul ending. No, it's funny. Lapin called me one day. He goes, bro, I tapped a pressure today, but I could feel my ribs starting to bend. I was like, okay. He's known for being a puss.
Dude, I say this all the time and I don't know if it's a popular opinion or not, but for a female's jujitsu to work in a real violent encounter, like you got fucking abducted or you got fucking snatched off of a running trail, to deal with a 200 pound violent man, I think you need purple belt jujitsu and above. Yeah.
But I mean, that's what I tell females. Cause like I've had, I've had offers for, Hey, will you run a female self-defense seminar? I said, no. Because I think it takes four years for you to learn how to defend yourself, not four hours. Now I will offer, I'll call them introduction to jujitsu.
Yeah, I'll show you like, hey, this is basically like... the introduction to what we're doing here. But if you ever want it to work, understand it's going to be years of work. So Leah just taught, I've helped her.
Nothing to do with jujitsu. I tell my people all the time. I said, your jujitsu is going to save you. Not because you fucking do an arm drag to a rear naked choke. It's because the predator is going to say that's not the one for me. Correct. And that's the truth.
Oh, it needs to be played because dudes need to hear this. This is fucking, I love shit like this because this is another reason why we train jujitsu, right?
Like, what else do you need to hear? That's it. And so like, that's why you train. It's not because, oh, this might happen or that might happen. It's just an overall projection to the world that I'm not a fucking victim. You know what helps women who aren't at purple belt level yet?
Yeah. But here's the other thing on that too, right? That's an important thing to put out. Cause I tell women the same thing. Cause my mother, like, well, I got a 38 special in my, in my purse, Greg, I'm fine. Break her fucking wrist if she cracks it. And I said, when's the last time you shot it?
Because if it was when we were at your friend's house in like 2014 and we put five rounds into the, into the clay banks. Trust me when I tell you that is not going to be a feasible option. And people think you can just buy a gun and now you're good. And that's, I tell people all the time, that's the equivalent of you tying my black belt around your waist and thinking you have jujitsu now.
