Jiu-Jitsu And Life Lesson
When my son was a baby, I remember watching him crawl across the room – slowly but with so much determination.
He got a little stronger every day.
One day he was crawling. The next, standing. Then walking. Then running.
Each step built on the last.
Nobody rushed him. Nobody expected him to jump straight into sprints and pull-ups. But somehow – as adults – we forget this lesson completely.
We jump into training thinking we need a little bit of this and a little bit of that – a sweep here, a pass there, some Instagram moves, a few YouTube fancy drills…
And then we wonder why nothing sticks. Why our game feels like a hodge podge of techniques with no real flow or ability to chain things together.
Here’s the reason:
Progress only comes when we train with structure and purpose.
You need a system that works for you.
I’ve seen students train hard for years – with very little progress – because they’re doing random things with no strategy. They get good at “one or two moves” then they ignore what is most efficient/useful. They only rely the small amount of techniques that are “their style”. Then development stops - they stop exploring because they must win in class.
On the other hand, I’ve seen students transform fast once they follow a structured attack plan. Each week builds on the last. They explore positional development drills aiming to learn more than to "win" at something they just learned. Their timing improves. Their confidence grows. Their Jiu-Jitsu finally starts to feel like “theirs”. Now the student is on track to advance much quicker - they get out of their own way.
They create paths with alternatives if "this" happens I have "these" options and pursues a path - (not just try what didn't work again but HARDER)! The athlete becomes difficult to predict because the athlete can continually attack on offense no matter the position they find themselves in.
They've taken the time to understand what is happening and run all the diagnostic checks on what and why something does or doesn't work and how to respond accordingly.
That’s exactly our goal at Bushido.
We aim to provide a structured training system designed to build your game step-by-step… Just like you learned to crawl, walk, run, and – eventually – sprint.
When you train with purpose… results will follow.
So, if you’ve been bouncing between random videos or stuck without a plan… this is your invitation to train with purpose.
Come to Bushido and see why our academy has experienced such rapid growth! Train with purpose.
