Beauty and the Gi: Gripping Conversations about Jiu-Jitsu and Life

Where you train might determine what you call something. AJ shares a strong view on why Single Leg X and Ashi are two different things. Do you call it a Sit up Sweep or Hip Bump Sweep? Shrimp or Hip Escape? How many different names do you have for Combat Mount?

Micro drills are a great way to help you develop muscle memory as you are working on your Jiu-Jitsu. We are building on the discussion we had in the previous episode on finding our Jiu-Jitsu as we come back to the mat. We’re breaking down drills into sections so that you can micro drill one part until it you get to the point where you don’t think about, you just naturally do it. Key Points in the Episode Why you should practice dynamic movement when you drill How making your own sound effects helps Why it’s better to start slow and build speed Training with anxiety How to start developing body awareness Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi on YouTube or in your Favorite Podcasting App YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EBCzi7znNuvxKlpLvue-w Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/374782593437482/ Beauty and the Gi Facebook Page Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production of this podcast by Jen at The Brassy Broadcasting Company

Are you beating yourself up? I had the realization this week that since I haven't had anyone beating me up on the mat for two months, I've started beating myself up. A very minor bump in the road with a client turned into a major crisis in confidence for me. I fell into the dreaded downward spiral. If you haven't heard episode 7 on the downward spiral, listen to it next. Until this week, I was unaware how much better I had become at setting boundaries and clear expectations, and going after what I wanted off the mat because I was physically doing it on the mat, or at least trying, a few times a week. It was becoming ingrained in me. I carried that behavior and confidence off the mat with me. I didn't even know that I was beating myself up until a friend brought it to my attention. It hadn’t occurred to me that the impact of not training would be mental as much as physical. I knew my Gi was getting a little tighter, but I didn't think I was mentally losing my edge. Be mindful of the chatter in your head.

How are you? That feels like a loaded question this week, in a time of social distancing, uncertainty, and fear about what happens next. Earlier in the week, I pulled out my journal to write my daily affirmations. We just talked about writing affirmations in Ep 73 of the podcast. It’s part of my daily morning routine. But on Tuesday, the more I wrote, the worse I felt because none of them were ringing true for me. I got so frustrated that I finally stopped and scribbled, “This is all BS.” Then I just started writing everything that I was feeling inside. It felt so good to have an emotional purge and get it all out in a few pages. It was like a little visit back to my practice of writing morning pages. Later in the week, I was working on a podcast for a client and they mentioned Morning Pages and Julia Cameron. Julia Cameron is the author of a book called The Artists Way - A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. In this book, she walks us through the daily practice of writing morning pages. It’s a simple exercise of just opening up your journal and writing out in longhand, 3 pages of whatever is on your mind. The beauty of this exercise is that there is no wrong way to do it. You just have to do it. You open up your journal and if you feel it, if you think about it, you write it down. The purpose is that getting these thoughts out of your head on onto the paper opens up space for creativity. Right now, this feels like the morning practice I need to create the focus and clarity I need to perform at a higher level on and off the mat. What would happen if you walked into your next jiu-jitsu class and your mind was a blank slate? What if you weren’t thinking about what you needed to pick up from the store on the way home, or replaying a frustrating conversation with a co-worker? Would you have more capacity to retain what you were learning? Would you take better notes? Would you recognize the opportunity to actually put into practice what you learned in your next roll? My fellow white belts, would it all finally start to click? I am committed to a daily practice of writing my morning pages. I’m also going back and re-reading The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron. Would you like to join me in getting the distractions out of our heads so we can show up in the world and perform at a higher level? You can start your writing by answering the question I asked at the top of the episode. How are you? I will be posting about his weekly in our Beauty and the Gi Gang Facebook group. Join the group if you haven’t already. Tag us on Instagram @beuatyandthegipodcast and let us know how writing morning pages is impacting you. Podcasts are one thing that do not require social distancing. Share this podcast or another favorite podcast you have on social media. You taking a minute to do a screenshot and sharing it on social media is the number one way we reach more people with the podcast. Thanks for listening and we will see you on the mat.

The Highlight Reel How to get the most from your gameplan Drilling from bad positions The magic of 1-minute drills Getting into the “This is just jiu-jitsu” mindset When to change up your game plan Creating Your BJJ Game Plan AJ walks us through structuring a jiu-jitsu game plan. She starts with the easiest way for white belts to start working on their game plans and then explains how her game planning has changed as she has progressed. Start by writing down what you know. Structure it for 3 top positions and 3 bottom positions. Write down 2-4 moves that you know from each position. Don’t worry if you don’t know that many moves yet. Write them down as you learn and drill them. In addition to helping you prepare for competition, following a written game plan will also help your coach troubleshoot areas where you are struggling. As you advance, your game plan will become more of a system.

I’m competing next weekend. As I was journaling yesterday morning, I came up with my mantra for the week. I AM CONFIDENT IN MY GAME PLAN AND MY ABILITY TO ADAPT. My goal this week is to run my game plan at every opportunity. It will also be on repeat in my head as I drift off to sleep every night. In addition to competing, I also have a lot happening in life off the mat. There are meetings, conversations, client work to be done, and another podcasting workshop to set up. "I am confident in my game plan and my ability to adapt." will also be my mantra for those activities off the mat. This will help keep me focused and intentional about the outcomes I want to create and the actions needed to make it all happen. Do you have a favorite mantra for competition or life? We would love to hear it. Share it on Instagram and tag us @beautyandthegipodcast.

Hannette Staack, Co-founder of Brazil - 021 School of Jiu-Jitsu, will be one of the instructors at the 2020 Roll Model Women’s Only Grappling Camp in Indianapolis. She is a fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode we talk about the challenges of competing while running a school, overcoming injuries, and turning something bad into something good. Hannette’s first big moment came in 2002 when after five fights she won her first world championship in the women’s purple/brown/black belt combined division. Since then, Hannette has fought every World Championship, taking six gold medals home in and establishing herself as one of the most tenacious and talented female grapplers in the history of jiu-jitsu. The mission of Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu seeks much more than winning competition medals. Their resolution is to promote health, well-being, self-confidence, and mental toughness in a safe, encouraging, and inspirational environment to properly prepare their clients for all of the challenges of life.
