Listen Later

On this episode of The GI Spot Podcast, Rach and Kaz dive deep into the world of training motivation, with a special focus on Black Belts and what keeps them coming back to the mats.

It’s easy to assume that once you’ve reached the pinnacle of Jiu Jitsu, motivation comes naturally—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Even the most seasoned Black Belts face struggles with focus, drive, and the ongoing pursuit of improvement. So, how do they stay dedicated after years of training, competition, and countless rolls?

Rach and Kaz put these questions to their listeners and gather real answers from practitioners at every level of their Jiu Jitsu journey. Together, they discuss what truly keeps people motivated, from personal growth and community connections to competition goals and the love of learning.

They also dive into their own experiences with maintaining consistency and dedication, sharing stories of both slumps and breakthroughs. Expect practical tips on reigniting your passion for training, setting fresh goals no matter your belt color, and finding inspiration when motivation feels out of reach.

Whether you’re a white belt wondering how to stay consistent or a higher belt looking for new ways to challenge yourself, this episode offers insights that will help you stay sharp, focused, and excited to roll.

Tune in for real talk, listener insights, and strategies to help you stay motivated—because the journey never really ends, no matter the colour of your belt.
