Do you train for the love of the game? Or push yourself to win Championships? How you choose to approach your BJJ is a very individual thing. What defines a Hobbyist? Are you only a Competitor if you compete at tournaments or fight to the death in the Gym? It is important to appreciate the difference between the 2 approaches and get clear on the upside and Draw backs of each:
1.) Expectations vs Results
2.) Awkward Rolls & Misunderstandings
3.) Winning vs Learning- What's better?
4.) Being Serious or Being Strategic
5.) Martial Arts vs Sports Performance
Whether you are training everyday focused on the next comp or just get your rolls in where you can, there is value in both approaches and ultimately you can benefit by borrowing from the other.
