10 essential tips jiu jitsu for beginners and veterans

1. Beware of your kimono , uniform Fighter

If you already bought a kimono and trains regularly knows that keeping it clean is not simple . Right? If you have not bought , I recommend giving it a read in the article where we answer the most important questions when buying your gi jiu- jitsu .
Well, come on! After a while , especially in summer , the cloth still stink even after washing . Brighteners help , but there is a risk of spoiling their patches (patches are the cloths we put on kimono with sponsorship logos gym etc ) . The use of any cleaning product will weaken the fabric .
The trick to get the smell of the kimono ? Sodium bicarbonate . Add a few table spoons every wash, without forgetting the detergent , of course . Ideally wash after every workout , but this is practically impossible , because to be a heavy cloth it takes to dry .
Look washing every week or at most 15 to 15 days, remember, the sweat also mars the fabric over time . With this trick , the kimono lasts longer and smells better . Your colleagues will thank workout !

2) Take care of your body, not only when in training jiu jitsu

Eat well, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, increase your flexibility with stretching, and so on. Natural Fitness is a great method to teach your body to move on the ground, and will help you learn the moves of Jiu-Jitsu.

Look washing every week or at most 15 to 15 days, remember, the sweat also mars the fabric over time. With this trick, the kimono lasts longer and smells better. Your colleagues will thank workout!

In martial arts, your body is the only tool you have, so it's good to keep it in good condition.

3 ) Leave your ego punishment , fitness jiu jitsu is not his place

Leave your ego at home. You'll take some lessons from people much younger (and older ! ) You , even girls .
If you're a strong guy , prepare to be dominated by guys half their size . Do not let it frustrate you , instead, look at it as a great example of what Jiu- Jitsu can do for you .
We see it happen every day , it's no big deal ! Welcome to jiu - jitsu .
Do not try to impress anyone , just come with an open mind to learn a new technique mind. His teammates are not there to compete with you or win it , but to make you a better fighter.
Get to the gym with the right attitude and people will always want to help you .

4 ) Try to absorb all you can

Learn something from everyone. Do not try to be a preferred starting position , or become a lazy just doing what you do best . Instead , get out of your comfort zone and always try to improve them that you are still weak . The good workout is one in which you add something to your game, regardless of how many times you ended someone (or has terminated ) .
One tip is to always try to apply the coup every workout taught by the teacher in class.
The prerequisite only to teach is to know ONE thing that the other does not know , and jiu - jitsu is very broad and guarantee that no one knows everything . Then consider the possibility of also learn from a more junior you mate.

5 ) Do it right , then do it fast

Start with the basics , the fundamentals work and concentrate on making the right moves to be able to control your opponent . At any moment , try to impose his pace and look to be the player who makes the first move . Try to prolong the time spent in dominant positions . The finish comes later .
Did everything right , learned straight ? Now it 's time to start making faster and also try more complex positions .

6 ) Know who you train

Nobody is preparing you to fight the Jiu - Jitsu for a while , so there is no reason for you to roll with anyone and everyone in the gym . Opt for partners with the same size as you, or even lighter . For the guys that do not use as much force , nor are so quick . Everything you learned is still very fresh in his head , so your reaction time is not ideal. If you do not have time to think , the workout will become a great embolação and you will not gain anything from it (some bruising , if any ) .

7 ) Cadencie your training pace

Do not go too strong . This may surprise some , but for a white belt the most important chamber accelerate the learning process is consistency. No matter , therefore, how hard you train one day, the next day will not be able to even move a muscle . Always end your workout with the feeling that you could handle one more. Your body will thank you the next morning .

8 ) Do not give? Knock , and avoid injuries .

One of the things that make it complicated to learn Jiu - Jitsu is not a technique itself , but some movements that your body never done before . Think twice before you perform each movement and remember the limits of your body . Never miss the heat and try to improve your flexibility .
If you have taken a hit and is seated , do not attempt to be giving leaps out of position it will make your opponent make a counter force and end up hurting you , even unintentionally . In many cases you end up hurting yourself trying to do crazy spins and moves contrary to accepted by your body . Result, injury, pain and even expulsion from training. Hitting is not ashamed , either warrior, but do not be stupid .

9 ) For the Girls .

For more intimidating than a school of Jiu - Jitsu seem, please do not be afraid . Enjoyed having you at the gym , because we believe that art is for everyone. The female presence even makes the boys behave , making the teacher's life a lot easier and the atmosphere is better.
Women are naturally more flexible , more disciplined and have less ego than men. However , you will always find some crazy clowns to win you the strength . But that is soft to avoid . You'll spot them quickly, and not just train with them .
Although we have " embarrassing " positions , respect is always something fundamental in training jiu- jitsu , is not common to see athletes taking advantage of the girls in practice , as many laymen think . If by chance it happens to you and it create any kind of embarrassment , relate to his teacher , he will make arrangements

10 ) Do your homework .

This is one of the most important tips to consider . Rethink your workout at home, and try to remember everything you did right , and what he did wrong. Try , though it may be tricky at first to think of new solutions . It is known that the view itself in the fight , your brain sends electrical to the muscles involved in each movement impulses . It is what some call " muscle memory " and helps you remember what to do next time.
