Would you like to get really good at Jiu-Jitsu?
Step 1: To avoid dissappointment you need to define what getting good at Jiu-Jitsu looks like to you. Is it beating that guy who has always been beating you? Is it becoming a World Champion? Is it becoming a Black Belt.
Everyone does Jiu-Jitsu for a different reason. Focusing on your reason will cut down on alot of frustration.
Step 2: Finding the right school. Who did they get their Black Belt from? What is their Jiu-Jitsu lineage. It should be easy to find out if they are a qualified Black Belt.
Did your coach ever compete? What have they accomplished on the mat? The best coaches I have ever had were good competitors. There are a few exceptions to this rule and these coaches came up in s solid system.
Step 3: Log your training! Do you have a training journal? If not, start one. Writing down what your learning will help it stick and you can review your notes when you can't make it to train.
Step 4: Put 100% into your training when your on the mat. Don't be the guy who is always rolling with people 2 ranks lower and avoiding rolling with people who can beat them.
Be honest with yourself and check your ego. Make sure to always get at least 1 roll in with someone way better than you.
Step 5: How often are you training? If you really want to get good at Jiu-Jitsu you need to get in 4-5 classes a week. If you plan out your life schedule this should be really easy to do.
Conclusion: Everyone does Jiu-Jitsu for a different reason. You have people from all walks of life training together to get better at Jiu-Jitsu. Just make sure to define what getting good means to you. It will help you avoid a lot of frustration on your journey.
