Reset, Reframe, Repeat: How to Overcome Jiu-Jitsu Plateaus and Train Smarter (Episode 64)
from Fighters Drinking Coffee · host Scott and Mike
Welcome back to the Fighters Drinking Coffee podcast. In this episode we focus on how to restructure your training to get past sticking points in your jiu-jitsu progression. Hosts discuss practical steps like increasing frequency, changing training partners or class formats, setting measurable goals, and committing to focused, repeated practice. They cover troubleshooting techniques such as using workshops, privates, partner feedback, and situational drilling. Plus, the value of patience: accepting being bad at something until you improve. Topics include tailoring practice to your rank and goals (hobbyist vs. competitor), how to manufacture practice scenarios, adjusting variables like nutrition, sleep, cross-training, and strength work, and the importance of measuring progress over several weeks. The hosts share examples and anecdotes about blue- and white-belt challenges, coaching advice, and mental frameworks (like treating practice as a repeat-until-you-succeed loop). Resources and guests mentioned: the hosts, references to coaching and private lessons, and the workshop class format Please remember to follow, rate and review! or Support the show on our Patreon Want more from Fighters Drinking Coffee: Follow us on instagram: @fightersdrinkingcoffee Join our discord: https://discord.gg/UPmxwuwXks Get some MADE IN THE USA gear: https://cruzcmbt.com/GETSUDSY
