5 Tips for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Beginners
1) Set your goals before the class starts.
Reflect and focus on what you want to develop during that session. Do you want to work on your defence and escapes? Maybe try a different sweep? You must know what you are looking for in order to start chasing it.
2) Warm up.
The use of light exercises in the beginning of the class will allow your body to prepare for a more intense level of activity and avoid future injuries.
3) Stretch.
It is vital to stretch after any sports activity. It will allow your body to become more flexible, avoid injuries and it will give your body signals that the level of activity is changing and that now it’s time to slow down.
4) Tap, Tap, Tap.
Leave your ego outside the Dojo and tap as soon as you feel that you can’t escape from a position. Avoid unnecessary major injuries.
5) Do your best and have fun.
Go to your training session with a positive mind set. Focus at giving your best at all times. It is your time, leave all your problem outside the Dojo.
Go to your academy, take your shoes off together with your worries and ego, step into the Dojo and have fun!!!
