How can you get a realistic sense of how much skill you COULD get in jiu-jitsu over the years if you stick with it?
This question comes to us from one of our listeners!
Let's talk a bit about setting realistic expectations in your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey. We know it's tricky, but we're here to give you some guidance.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, thinking about how much skill you can realistically develop over the years in BJJ. You're not alone – it’s a broad and subjective topic.
One of us sometimes struggles to keep her expectations realistic - can you guess who?
We’re taking a three-pronged approach to breaking this down in a way that makes sense and feels achievable.
Time and Belt Milestones:
Where should you be at different stages in your training?
Technical Mastery:
What techniques should you focus on as you progress?
Mental Mastery:
How do you keep your mind in the game?
Remember, the ultimate key is persistence. Keep training, keep learning, and don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. AJ was a white belt for 13 and a half years before getting her blue belt.
It's as much about your mental growth as the physical skills. Stay the course, because consistency will lead you to success in the deep waters of BJJ, forging you into a strong, knowledgeable black belt.
Now, it's your turn. We want to hear about your biggest breakthroughs or aha moments in your Jiu-Jitsu journey. When did it happen and how long had you been training?
Highlights
(00:00) How can you get a realistic sense of how much skill you COULD get in jiu-jitsu over the years if you stick with it?
(03:54) What to expect in your first 6 months as a white belt
(02:02) Why this is such a hard question and how we’re approaching it
(15:34) What are realistic expectations for YOU?
(20:45) Jen’s “aha” moment
(22:27) On and Off the Mat Tips
(23:52) Indy Base Camp Giveaway details and Roll Model sale info

We share our big takeaways and lessons from this year’s Roll Model Grappling Camp. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the camp was curated to foster both Jiu-Jitsu skill development and a strong sense of community among women practitioners.
This year’s theme was "A rising tide raises all ships," a phrase AJ often employs to emphasize the power of collective improvement. This theme resonated throughout the weekend as attendees and instructors uplifted one another, reinforcing the idea that when one person grows, everyone benefits. Whether you were a white belt or a seasoned black belt, the emphasis was on mutual growth and community support.
This year marked a change as the camp featured "homegrown" Roll Models rather than bringing in big-name instructors. With instructors deeply embedded in the community. This approach reinforced the camp's theme of collective growth, proving that the strongest leaders often come from within.
Whether you attended the camp or not, this episode is packed with inspiration and actionable advice to elevate your jujitsu journey.
