#64 Why I Almost QUIT BJJ | How I overcame it

from I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show · host Josh McKinney

I nearly quit jiu-jitsu as a purple belt.    This isn't something that I talk about very much, or even at all really. I used to try to get fulfillment in winning grappling tournaments. It worked for a long time, all the way up until I stopped winning.    I know the thought of quitting jiu-jitsu is something that nearly everyone goes through in their  journey. I wanted to take today and be honest about my struggle and some of the incredibly fortunate events and people that helped me get through this mindset.    If you have a story of overcoming quitting jiu-jitsu, I would love to hear from you and share it on the podcast.
