#372 Should YOU Compete in Jiu Jitsu?

Should You Compete or Waste Money?

If you’ve ever sat on the fence about competing in Jiu-Jitsu… this episode is for you.

We break down the real reasons people compete (and the lies they tell themselves), whether tournaments are actually worth the money, and how competition can completely change your Jiu-Jitsu, and your mindset.

This isn’t just ADCC vs IBJJF. It’s about who competition is for, who it’s NOT for, and how to actually get value out of it.

If you’re a competitor (or thinking about becoming one), this episode will help you decide: 👉 Should you compete at all? 👉 Which tournaments actually make sense for you? 👉 And how to stop overthinking it and just go.

Why most people compete (and why they’re wrong)
The real benefit of competition (it’s not medals)
How competition forces faster improvement
ADCC vs IBJJF: pros, cons, and who they’re for
Why local tournaments might be the smartest move
The biggest mistake beginners make with competing
How to know if competing is right for YOU

Treat each tournament like a rep, not a result
