How much BJJ should I train every week? Your coach says Everyday. The Pro guys train twice a day! But how much is right for you? JT likes to take things to the extreme and Joey has a more moderate approach and through their experience helping thousands of BJJ folks get stronger, more flexible and get healthy- they have discovered the sweet spot. Now winning in terms of how much you train looks different depending on your Jiu-Jitsu goals: If you are a top competitor, an experienced hobbyist or a frothy white belt. The boys discuss what each goal might require and some approaches you can take to ensure you don't crash and burn. More does not always equal better.
There can be some diminishing returns that comes from chasing the BJJ dragon, taking something beautiful and turning it into a grind which can start to eat away at other parts of your life.
Trial and Error is huge part of learning and failing in BJJ so working out what your body and soul can tolerate is an important part of knowing yourself. But when you push the limits - You often find them!
Sometimes those results can be painful and occasionally embarrassing. How much do you train BJJ every week, let us know in the comments?

My old coach was the master questioning why i missed sessions etc, I was not a huge fan of that vibe. My new coach doesnt care when you show up, if you come late, if you need to sitout rolls. Infact he encourages me to train less and recover. We still train hard and do more rounds than most gyms but there's never a day i dont feel like training. So much more sustainable and enjoyable....

Your new coach is trying to seduce you with a laid back vibe

Yeah I don’t think someone needs to question missing sessions but I get someone calling someone out on showing up late.

Basically if you're a hobbyist no one should give you any shit, but encourage you to keep going and learn. Of you're serious about competing/fighting your coach should be on your ass or you're gonna get slept

@@JeremyHollabaughcall me out on being late, eh. I got two kids two jobs and a degree to study for, if I'm 5 late putting my girls to bed and anyone has a problem with that theure gonna lose the majority of their adult members. Again if it's an elite gym for competing fighters thatsbdifferent but for hobbyists it ain't everything to them but might be much needed stress relief calling people out when they have real life reasons for being late isn't the way to go

@@zakstephenson4545 No need to get worked up, I’m not calling someone out, that would be up to the coach not another student. I am simply saying I’ve seen it and no the coach wasn’t being aggressive or a jerk and it’s understandable even if it’s just a gym with a lot of hobbyists. As the coach pointed out they are missing the warm up and and exercise which he considers important. Again this is all up to the coach and how they run their gym, up to you to find a gym that works for you.

30 years old blue belt , I do train 3 times a week 2hr sessions, 1 hr drills/tech 1 hr of rolling . If I miss class for some reason I’ll do open mat instead , and it’s working for me greatly. Also every couple months I’ll do competitions, what I think gives me a lot of improvement. Consistency is a key. Love the podcast

Great content as always my friends, i wish i have received this kind of knowledge in my beginning, I'm a four strips purple bel but until i get my purple belt i trained abou 5 x- 6x times a week and nowadays i try to do at maximum 4x times a week with 2x weightlifting sessions and mobility every day (usually i train 3x times a week), in my opinion its better for regular people try to be consistent instead mimic the routine of the some athletes Abraços do Brasil meus amigos

I train 3 days a week. 4 stripes on the purple belt. Some times compete, most times I don’t. lol

Brown belt, 1-2x a week. If you want to get better the goal should be learning more. Most of the progress I’ve made has been outside the gym doing a deep-dive on topics of interest. If you’ve been doing it awhile and physically fit. You don’t really need to grind to get better.

White belt 2 classes on Monday. Then Tuesday and Wednesday class and roll 1 hr. Often finding myself wanting more but I wake up feeling it everytime lol

Thanks for addressing this topic, with jiu jitsu competing against life and family time I rarely can't make it to more than 2 classes a week, even though I wish I could

I’ve only been doing bjj for about a year and it’s the first sport I take seriously, so take it with a grain of salt, but I also lost around 30kg and gained a lot of muscle, 10x my performance and I got to 4 stripes in about a year, and I train martial arts almost 2x a day 5-6 days a week so I think I maybe got some stuff right: Basically do progressive overload with functional overreaching in monthly periods, organize your week to have some days for technique and some days for competitiveness, do deloads, add hourly sessions once a month or two months, you only deload if you can’t sleep or eat or you feel restless from too much overtraining (no longer functional), if your training partners or coach don’t remember or know your training regiment too bad, you gotta swallow that ego and tap or go at a slower pace and tell your coach you have planned periodization and today you’re tired or it’s a day you’re not supposed to train too hard, a good coach will let you do that and even give advice on how to do it The biggest part is making it a habit, humans are creatures of habit, to me waking up to train at 7 am fasted is normal, I don’t feel tired or weak, it’s not a matter of willpower once you get used to it, in fact I feel weak and tired if I rest too much

Interesting discussion. Ten hours of mat time is about the most I have been able to do in a week. There is still some time for practicing fundamentals on my own, journaling, doing cardio and weight work. Still a white belt after a couple years 😂

I think variety is important, while never letting the number of sessions per week go to zero (outside of injury). I’ve done 6 days a week, for months, and then done 2 days a week for months after that. Both were awesome for my progress. I should add that these were all no-gi sessions; I think it’s easier on the body.

I want to train more than I can, the limiting factor is my recovery and the other things I want to do like other Martial Arts. Its why I hate fatigue based workouts, I’m looking at you Ninjutsu with your 30 minute circuit before skill training.
