How New Students Can Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Safely

By Sam Bernard


When training with a brand-new person, I tell them to hold back on the sparring for a while and simply concentrate on getting some technique in their game first. The older men are typically ok with alleviating into the sparring, but the more youthful men need to figure out "where they're at." Because I had it myself when I first started, I understand this thinking. If you're strong enough and push the rate enough, benefits are sure occur for you, right? No, actually it rarely happens.

The top priority of training isn't really gaining every match or even doing a method completely, it's making sure you leave healthy and with the ability to train once again tomorrow. Have you ever observed when you're sick, the only thing on your mind is feeling much better? And generally, you're back on track from an illness after a few days of misery. Injuries are comparable in the sense that when you're hurt, it's the only thing on your mind- injuries vary from sickness though in the sense that you are less most likely to come back in ideal health.

There is a time and place to use maximum effort, but it is NOT during a routine training session. You should be worried with your personal security and understand that you have a responsibility for your partner's security. Discover to establish a training rate will allow you to still exercise on a resisting partner, however doesn't involve flailing or inadvertently knocking out someone's teeth. It's essential to begin thinking about your training partners more like colleagues. You are technically contending against them in group, however it's like being on a basketball team and playing a practice game against other members of your team- you wish to dominate the practice game, and at the same time you don't wish to injure anybody on your group. No one ever got a trophy for being the best at practice, so think about it more as a possibility to sharpen your abilities and not a time to show something.

I honestly cannot knock anybody for beginning maximizing the physical devices they have at their disposal. I did it, people I train with have done it, and I'll be waiting for another brand-new person to do it. My goal for this site isn't to make fun of anyone out there for training errors, it's to conserve you time. If you spend a year being wild man- that's a year of greater danger of injury, less technical development, disappointment, and a possible exit from training. I don't want that to happen. I want you to make it out of this first year of training expecting your future in jiu-jitsu.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu keeps getting more and more fun for me and I desire everyone to share that experience. So, the next time your going complete clip and your partner is just holding on till you tire, ask yourself ... Am I doing everything in my control to stay healthy and keep my partners injury free? The cost is too great to accidentally hurt yourself or your fellow students. Think about enjoying the sport for the long-term, and slow down.
