213: Getting Out of Your Own Way in Jiu-Jitsu

Have you ever wondered if you might be the one slowing down your Jiu-Jitsu progress? Yeah, we’ve been there too. In this episode, we explore the ways we unintentionally sabotage our own progress in jiu-jitsu and how we can start to shift out of those patterns. From skipping warm-ups and rolling half-heartedly to full-on downward spirals and “oops, I ate waffles before weigh-ins,” we’re calling ourselves out (with a bit of laughter) in hopes it helps you, too. We talk about the mind games we play with ourselves, why we sometimes avoid promotions or competition prep, and how stress off the mat can totally throw us off on it. We also share a few practical things that have helped us interrupt the downward spiral and stay present, even when we’re stuck under mount—or under pressure. If you’ve ever beat yourself up mid-roll or felt like you were spiraling into “I suck at jiu-jitsu and maybe also life,” this one’s for you. We've been there. If this episode hits home, share it with a teammate who needs to hear it, and let us know how you’ve been known to self-sabotage. We’re all in this together. Chapters (00:00) What are some things we do that self-sabotage or Jiu-Jitsu? (03:53) What do you do when the “downward spiral” starts mid-roll? (06:30) What do you do when you feel “stuck” under mount or metaphorically? (09:12) Navigating health challenges that can sabotage your training (11:23) Self-sabotage and Jiu-Jitsu competition prep (14:35) Self-sabotage and Jiu-Jitsu belt promotions If you love the Podcast, share it with a friend!

208: The BJJ Mindset That Wins On and Off the Mat

Have you ever been told you need to be "more aggressive" on the mats, only to find yourself awkwardly trying to manufacture anger toward your competition or training partners? Or maybe you've been labeled "too aggressive" at work when being direct about your boundaries, expectations, or needs.

Let’s reframe how we go after what we want, on and off the mats, without forcing anger or being unfairly labeled.   Chapters Certainly! Here is the sequence of topics covered in the transcript, now with timestamps: (00:00) Calling out hate speech (05:19) Why your BJJ gym needs to feel safe and supportive (07:11)  Mindset shift to reframe aggressiveness as assertiveness (09:16) When your coach tells you to be more aggressive (11:01) Being full of NO (14:18) The role of aggressiveness in Martial Arts (16:45) Learning to be proactive instead of reactive (17:45) Assertiveness vs. Aggression off the mat   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

200: From White Belt to Black Belt: How Your Jiu-jitsu Why Evolves

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is transformational. Why did you start training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Is this the same reason that keeps you coming back, week after week, year after year? Contrary to what you might expect, AJ didn’t immediately become obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu. It wasn't until much later, after over a decade of on-and-off training, that she truly fell in love with Jiu-Jitsu. She dives deep into how the physical empowerment and sense of community eventually fueled her passion for the sport. Jen’s initiation into Jiu-Jitsu was a bit different – it started with a simple invitation from AJ at a speakers group they were in together. Initially motivated by the desire to step out of her comfort zone, Jen reflects on what has changed and why she keeps coming back. We explore the impact of Jiu-Jitsu on our lives beyond the mat - from how we’ve used it to boost our self-confidence, handle clients, and trim the dog. Why do you keep coming back to Jiu-Jitsu? Tune in to Episode 200 of Beauty and the Gi and get ready to reflect on your own journey. You might find, like us, that the reasons are multifaceted and always evolving. We want to hear from you! Is the reason you started training the reason you are still training? What has changed for you? How have you evolved on and off the mat? The Highlight Reel (00:00) Intro (02:09) How Jiu-Jitsu improves our relationship with our bodies (04:09) Who and what got Jen started doing Jiu-Jitsu (05:41) Where Jen used mental Jiu-jitsu to deal with a work client (07:25) The benefits of getting comfortable being uncomfortable (09:19) Applying the ‘when in doubt, shrimp out’ philosophy to life off the mat (12:03) It’s not just women that want to learn self-defense (15:52) When Jen thought about quitting Jiu-Jitsu (16:57) Dealing with the emotional roller coaster of Jiu-Jitsu (20:47) The mantra that keeps us coming back after a rough day on the mat   Watch the full video version on YouTube! https://youtu.be/oxBznN311ak   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

199: Funny Things Jiu-Jitsu People Say

We say funny things to each other when we're rolling around on the mat with our Jiu-Jitsu friends. This episode is all about the head-scratching, giggle-worthy quirks that only Jiu-Jitsu folks truly understand. From proudly showing off bruises to the odd bowing when stepping from carpet to mat-like surfaces, we explore the endless scenarios that make our Jiu-Jitsu culture so uniquely its own. We’ve had some reflective and intense episodes recently, but today we’re steering towards pure Jiu-Jitsu silliness - bruises as badges of honor, the peculiar joy of “heaviness,” and why your friends might think you're trying to choke them during a hug (but seriously, who doesn’t love a good overhook?). So whether you’re reminiscing about your latest gi burns or simply need to hear some Jiu-Jitsu banter when your rolling buddies are out of reach, this episode has got it all. Drop us a message with your book recommendations for our next book club episode. Highlights (02:55) Look! new bruises (05:08) When it’s a compliment in Jiu-Jitsu but not anywhere else (06:47) The joy of getting beat up by your friends (08:23) When you see those speckled bruised out in the wild (11:02) That weird sensation when you feel relief and disgust at the same time (12:54) Helpful tips for not practicing Jiu-Jitsu on your family at Thanksgiving   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

What's Possible in BJJ? Setting Realistic Expectations for Your Long Term Jiu Jitsu Progress

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?

193: Takedowns to Takeaways: On and Off the Mat Lessons from Roll Model Grappling Camp 2024

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. Chapters (00:00) Introduction (01:56) A Rising Tide Raises all Ships (02:31) Inspiring Stories from Camp (03:38) Community, Personal Growth, and Learning Experiences (13:06) Homegrown Role Models (15:58) On and Off the Mat Tips   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

190: Finding Your Stand-Up Game in Jiu-Jitsu

How confident are you in your stand-up game? It’s a question that often goes unasked, but it’s one that can make a significant difference in your Jiu-Jitsu practice.  Do you have a go-to takedown?

186: Do You Feel Pressure to Bring Value When Rolling with a Higher Rank?

Do you feel pressure to bring “value” when rolling with a higher rank? From brand-new white belts to experienced black belts, we all bring unique value to the mat. Seeing the value we bring can be especially tricky when you’re new to grappling. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you’re learning a move for the first time, then you go to drill it, and your mind goes blank. We’ve been there and lived to podcast about it. For upper belts, rolling with a less experienced partner is a chance to refine their game. Meanwhile, lower belts have the opportunity to receive guidance and learn from the higher ranks. Every roll or drill has value when you approach it with intention. It’s your responsibility, no matter the color of your belt, to find or create value for yourself. This is your journey. The Highlights (00:00) Do you feel pressure to bring “value” when rolling with a higher rank? (03:04) Rolling with new white belts (08:51) Encouraging lower belts (14:47) We all belong on the mats and bring unique value to every roll   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

183: Small Victories, Big Impact: Nurturing an Upward Spiral in Your Jiu Jitsu

We’ve talked about the downward spiral in previous episodes. You know, that moment when you make a mistake, can’t get out of your own head, and then the wheels fall off. We’ve all been there. What if you flipped that concept and started building on the little things you are doing right? This episode was inspired by a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett. He and his guest, Daniel Priestly, talked about the upward spiral and how it had the power to compound your success.  We discuss the power of intention, mindset, embracing the learning process, and celebrating the small wins, no matter what color your belt.

When Life Throws You Off Your Jiu-Jitsu Game and Vice Versa

From battling with self-doubt to finding inspiration in the daily struggles, we explore the multifaceted impact of Jiu-Jitsu and life on and off the mat. Life outside of Jiu-Jitsu can affect our performance on the mat. Factors such as sleep, nutrition, and mental well-being play a crucial role in how we show up and our ability to engage effectively. Our time practicing Jiu-Jitsu shapes how we show up in life off the mat. How do we leave a tough day on the mats at the gym and not take it home with us?  We need to have strategies and practices to handle the rough days to reap the benefits of the resilience they create in us.

174: Always Getting Paired with the New Girl in Jiu Jitsu Class - Frustration or Opportunity?

Picture it: you're the only woman in your Jiu-Jitsu class. You’ve shown up consistently, you work hard, you’re training for your next tournament, but now there's a new twist. Your coach expects you always to be the one to train with every new woman who walks through the door. Your frustration builds, and you wonder, “Am I the jerk for feeling this way?”. We have big thoughts on this topic because everyone has something at stake. You want more women doing Jiu-Jitsu because you would like to compete with someone in your age and weight class, but you need to focus on your training, and it feels like your coach is taking you for granted. Your coach wants more students, and he knows you’re like the Mister Rogers of the Mat. You make everyone feel safe and welcome, so he picks you.  And then…there’s the new girl who wants to learn a new skill and build her self-confidence.  What do you? We are exploring the nuances of this balancing act for everyone.   The Highlight Reel (06:49) Tips for making everyone feel welcome at their first class (09:24) How to create an inviting and welcoming culture in your gym (16:23) How to roll with the new person so they will want to come back (23:03) Seeing the opportunity to mentor and mold your ideal training partner   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

171: Should You Attend Jiu Jitsu Open Mats: The Benefits of Cross-Training

We have BIG opinions on cross-training and whether or not it’s a good idea to attend Jiu Jitsu open mats.  Picture It: You love going to open mats, but your coach seems to have some reservations. This is the situation that one of our listeners found herself in.  Now, that got the gears turning in our jiu-jitsu-obsessed minds. We dive deep into the topic of cross-training and open mats and explain why some coaches discourage cross-training. We discuss the red flags, the toxic mentality behind this, and why it's important to embrace the opportunity to learn and train with different people. And guess what? We not only encourage cross-training at other gyms but also in your own gym! AJ drops some serious wisdom on why mixing it up with different training partners can level up your game and keep things fresh. We explore the topic of competing against someone you've rolled with at an open mat. Is it a disadvantage or just another exciting challenge? Our brains are churning with thoughts and insights on this one. We're also sprinkling in some cool stories about AJ's experiences training at gyms while traveling and the incredible connections and friendships she's made along the way.  Hit that play button, and let's roll!   What You Need to Know (02:06) Red flags for a toxic Jiu-Jitsu environment (04:02) What are the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu cross-training (08:21) Why it doesn’t really matter if someone knows your game (10:31) How cross-training and open mats build the women’s Jiu-Jitsu community   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

What does being coachable mean to you, and how does that impact your Jiu-Jitsu success? We are talking about being coachable from everyday training to how to focus on what your coach is telling you when you’re out there competing.

From listening to your coach's advice and opinion to implementing their guidance on the mats and even in tournaments, being coachable truly fuels your growth on and off the mat. The full video recording of this episode is also available on the Beauty and the Gi YouTube channel. Check it out and May the Gi be with you!

166: The Jiu Jitsu Coach - Student Relationship: What Does Your Coach Owe You as the Student?

What does a Jiu Jitsu coach owe their student? Rolls? Coaching at tournaments? Promotions? Unlimited Access? What is the obligation and where does it end? We are navigating the intricacies of what coaches owe their students in the world of Jiu Jitsu, or at least sharing our thoughts. You will get the student and the coach perspective during this episode. How does a coach balance being present for their own personal commitments and competitions, while also wanting to coach and support their students?  Do coaches owe their students coaching for every tournament? We touch on the fear of missing out (FOMO) that coaches may experience and the desire to be there for their students in their competitions.  AJ shares a recent example of having to choose between coaching at multiple tournaments in the month of June and how she prioritized where she would be coaching.  And then she had a surprise surgery thrown into her schedule. What’s a coach to do? Is your coach obligated to roll with you? We definitely has some strong thoughts on this question!    If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

Brace yourself! We are exploring the complex dynamics of the Jiu-Jitsu Coach - Student relationship. What do you owe your coach? Do you owe them anything more than just showing up when you’re paying to be there? Have you ever felt like your coach was too controlling?

Are you not allowed to attend seminars outside of your school? Do you feel pressured to compete because you owe it to your coach? We have some strong feelings on this topic. You’re going to hear all about them from both the coach and student experience.  So much of this boils down to the gym culture and leadership of the coach.

The Jiu-Jitsu emotional rollercoaster. It's a thing. And there are so many emotions that can come up around promotions.

We've been there and we're talking about it in this episode. We're also celebrating Jen getting her blue belt!

How much does our personality impact how we show up on the mat? Is it helping or hurting us? What can we learn about ourselves that will help us show up on the mat?

Exploring the Enneagram and Jiu-JItsu

We're exploring the intersection of the enneagram, our jiu-jitsu, and our personality types. Does our personality type impact how we show up in our jiu-jitsu? Can understanding our personalities and learning which areas need development can make our jiu-jitsu better?  According to truity.com, the Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another. We are bringing on an Enneagram expert in a future episode so we can dive deeper into this topic.

Improving Your Jiu-Jitsu with Micro Drills

Micro drills are a great way to help you develop muscle memory as you are working on your Jiu-Jitsu. We are building on the discussion we had in the previous episode on finding our Jiu-Jitsu as we come back to the mat. We’re breaking down drills into sections so that you can micro drill one part until it you get to the point where you don’t think about, you just naturally do it.   Key Points in the Episode Why you should practice dynamic movement when you drill How making your own sound effects helps Why it’s better to start slow and build speed Training with anxiety How to start developing body awareness   Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi on YouTube or in your Favorite Podcasting App YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EBCzi7znNuvxKlpLvue-w Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/374782593437482/ Beauty and the Gi Facebook Page Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production of this podcast by Jen at The Brassy Broadcasting Company

Are You Beating Yourself Up?

Are you beating yourself up? I had the realization this week that since I haven't had anyone beating me up on the mat for two months, I've started beating myself up. A very minor bump in the road with a client turned into a major crisis in confidence for me. I fell into the dreaded downward spiral. If you haven't heard episode 7 on the downward spiral, listen to it next. Until this week, I was unaware how much better I had become at setting boundaries and clear expectations, and going after what I wanted off the mat because I was physically doing it on the mat, or at least trying, a few times a week. It was becoming ingrained in me. I carried that behavior and confidence off the mat with me. I didn't even know that I was beating myself up until a friend brought it to my attention. It hadn’t occurred to me that the impact of not training would be mental as much as physical. I knew my Gi was getting a little tighter, but I didn't think I was mentally losing my edge. Be mindful of the chatter in your head.   Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi on YouTube or in your Favorite Podcasting App YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EBCzi7znNuvxKlpLvue-w Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/374782593437482/ Beauty and the Gi Facebook Page   Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production

Writing Morning Pages for High Performance

How are you? That feels like a loaded question this week, in a time of social distancing, uncertainty, and fear about what happens next. Earlier in the week, I pulled out my journal to write my daily affirmations. We just talked about writing affirmations in Ep 73 of the podcast. It’s part of my daily morning routine. But on Tuesday, the more I wrote, the worse I felt because none of them were ringing true for me. I got so frustrated that I finally stopped and scribbled, “This is all BS.” Then I just started writing everything that I was feeling inside. It felt so good to have an emotional purge and get it all out in a few pages. It was like a little visit back to my practice of writing morning pages. Later in the week, I was working on a podcast for a client and they mentioned Morning Pages and Julia Cameron. Julia Cameron is the author of a book called The Artists Way - A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.  In this book, she walks us through the daily practice of writing morning pages. It’s a simple exercise of just opening up your journal and writing out in longhand, 3 pages of whatever is on your mind. The beauty of this exercise is that there is no wrong way to do it. You just have to do it. You open up your journal and if you feel it, if you think about it, you write it down. The purpose is that getting these thoughts out of your head on onto the paper opens up space for creativity. Right now, this feels like the morning practice I need to create the focus and clarity I need to perform at a higher level on and off the mat. What would happen if you walked into your next jiu-jitsu class and your mind was a blank slate? What if you weren’t thinking about what you needed to pick up from the store on the way home, or replaying a frustrating conversation with a co-worker? Would you have more capacity to retain what you were learning? Would you take better notes? Would you recognize the opportunity to actually put into practice what you learned in your next roll? My fellow white belts, would it all finally start to click? I am committed to a daily practice of writing my morning pages. I’m also going back and re-reading The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron. Would you like to join me in getting the distractions out of our heads so we can show up in the world and perform at a higher level? You can start your writing by answering the question I asked at the top of the episode. How are you? I will be posting about his weekly in our Beauty and the Gi Gang Facebook group. Join the group if you haven’t already. Tag us on Instagram @beuatyandthegipodcast and let us know how writing morning pages is impacting you. Podcasts are one thing that do no

Creating Your BJJ Game Plan

The Highlight Reel How to get the most from your gameplan Drilling from bad positions The magic of 1-minute drills Getting into the “This is just jiu-jitsu” mindset When to change up your game plan   Creating Your BJJ Game Plan AJ walks us through structuring a jiu-jitsu game plan. She starts with the easiest way for white belts to start working on their game plans and then explains how her game planning has changed as she has progressed. Start by writing down what you know. Structure it for 3 top positions and 3 bottom positions. Write down 2-4 moves that you know from each position. Don’t worry if you don’t know that many moves yet. Write them down as you learn and drill them. In addition to helping you prepare for competition, following a written game plan will also help your coach troubleshoot areas where you are struggling. As you advance, your game plan will become more of a system.   Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi on YouTube or in your Favorite Podcasting App YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EBCzi7znNuvxKlpLvue-w Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw%3D%3D   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/374782593437482/ Beauty and the Gi Facebook Page   Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production of this podcast by Jen at <a href= "http://brassybroad.com/

A Mantra for the Week

I’m competing next weekend. As I was journaling yesterday morning, I came up with my mantra for the week. I AM CONFIDENT IN MY GAME PLAN AND MY ABILITY TO ADAPT. My goal this week is to run my game plan at every opportunity. It will also be on repeat in my head as I drift off to sleep every night. In addition to competing, I also have a lot happening in life off the mat. There are meetings, conversations, client work to be done, and another podcasting workshop to set up. "I am confident in my game plan and my ability to adapt." will also be my mantra for those activities off the mat. This will help keep me focused and intentional about the outcomes I want to create and the actions needed to make it all happen. Do you have a favorite mantra for competition or life? We would love to hear it.

Hannette Staack

Hannette Staack, Co-founder of Brazil - 021 School of Jiu-Jitsu, will be one of the instructors at the 2020 Roll Model Women’s Only Grappling Camp in Indianapolis. She is a fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode we talk about the challenges of competing while running a school, overcoming injuries, and turning something bad into something good. Hannette’s first big moment came in 2002 when after five fights she won her first world championship in the women’s purple/brown/black belt combined division. Since then, Hannette has fought every World Championship, taking six gold medals home in and establishing herself as one of the most tenacious and talented female grapplers in the history of jiu-jitsu. The mission of Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu seeks much more than winning competition medals. Their resolution is to promote health, well-being, self-confidence, and mental toughness in a safe, encouraging, and inspirational environment to properly prepare their clients for all of the challenges of life.   Connect with Hannette Staack Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hannettestaack http://brazil021.com/   Register for Roll Model Camp 2020 https://www.thefighthub.com/shop/roll-model-womens-only-grappling-camp-may-2020/   Subscribe to Beauty and the Gi Podcast Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-and-the-gi/id1458389465?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3IHT3BNicukNtCVa3AAwBI Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWF1dHlhbmR0aGVnaS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw%3D%3D   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter Beauty and the Gi Facebook Group <a

Hillary VanOrnum from Unicorn Jiu-Jitsu

Hillary VanOrnum, Owner and Head Instructor at Unicorn Jiu Jitsu , is the first instructor to be announced for the 2020 Women’s Roll Model Camp. She is a first-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Hillary’s biggest goal with Jiu-Jitsu is to get more women trying it and training. She wants to ease people into it and also give the ladies some real-life self-defense/practical applications of BJJ. She also encourages her female students to try competition as early as possible. She wasn’t able to compete much in her first several years of training because there weren’t many women training let alone competing. She values competition as an opportunity to test our skills against other females of similar size and experience.   Book Recommendations The Art of Mental Training by D.C.

Focus On One Thing - Sunday Self-Care Series

If you listened to the latest episode of Beauty and the Gi, episode 34, you heard Emily Kwok talk about being present in the moment and not multi-tasking as one of the ways she manages training along with having a family and a professional career outside of jiu-jitsu. This wisdom goes hand in hand with a book I’m re-reading called The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. They dedicate an entire chapter to why you need to focus on the task at hand and avoid multi-tasking. Multi-Tasking doesn’t work. Instead, start dedicating focus to one task or project at a time. When you are practicing your self-care, no matter how you practice it, are you focused and truly present in the moment with it or are you multitasking at the same time? Dedicate your focus and be present. Even if it is just 5 or 10 minutes of undistracted breathing, meditation, journaling, or whatever flavor of self-care you practice, you will feel more rejuvenated when you’ve been present with only that practice. And I know, it’s a challenge with family, work, and life, in general, to take that time that time for yourself. It feels selfish, and more like a luxury than a necessity, but I promise you, Self-care is not selfish. It is an absolute necessity if you want to show up in the world as the best version of you so you can manage  “all of the things.” If you know someone that prides themselves on their multitasking abilities,  please take 2 seconds to hit that share button and text them the link to this episode. Help them actually accomplish more by focusing on one thing.   Links and Resources Episode 34 of Beauty and the Gi The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram     @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter

How Do You Balance Work, Life, Family, and Jiu-Jitsu Training?

How do you balance work, family, life and jiu-jitsu training?   Emily Kwok and Rachel Casias share their experience integrating jiu-jitsu training into a schedule that also includes life, family, and work. This episode contains part of the Q&A session from the 2019 Roll Model Women’s Grappling Camp.   Calendar and Schedule Management are Critical Plan Know your priorities Schedule time for your priorities on your calendar   Rachel feels like jiu-jitsu makes her a better mother and better lawyer so she makes training a priority by scheduling it. Scheduling is key for Emily. She is multi-tasking her life, but not multi-tasking in the moment. Be clear with people about what you will and won’t do. When you are clear with people about what you will and won't do, it gives them more structure to operate around you.   Incorporating Different Kinds of Training into Your Training Schedule Rachel shares what makes her better at jiu-jitsu is doing more jiu-jitsu. She is also doing more stretching as she is getting older. You have to figure out what is right for you and prioritize it. It’s very individual. Emily advises that it also depends on who you are fighting. If you are fighting bigger stronger opponents, then it might make sense to incorporate strength training into your training program.

When in Doubt, Shrimp Out - Sunday Self Care

Your energy is precious. Guard it well. Mind the space around it. Who are you letting into your space? Are you surrounded by people that are lifting you up, or tearing you down and wearing you out? We know that controlling space is key to our success on the mat. It is also required for success and happiness off the mat. On the mat, we learn that making space is imperative to create an opportunity to escape. Are you as mindful of your space when you walk off the mat and out into the world? Do you need to escape from some energy vampires that are sucking the life out of you? One of the mantras I’ve heard while in class is “When in doubt, shrimp out.” It holds true off the mat.   Connect with Jen and AJ Beauty and the Gi Podcast on Instagram @beautyandthegipodcast Jen on Instagram @brassybroadjen AJ on Instagram     @ajclingerman @BeautyAndTheGi on Twitter

The First Agreement - Sunday Self Care Series

Playing “The Game” this month has Jen revisiting The Four Agreements, the book by Don Miguel Ruiz that was written as a practical guide to personal freedom. The first Agreement is “Be impeccable with your word.” This agreement is a good reminder of the power of our words to plant seeds that turn into thoughts that become actions. Just like we are responsible for actions on and off the mat, we need to practice responsibility for the words we use around ourselves and others. Make it a practice today to use positive words and plant positive seeds. This is a foundation of good self-care. To hear how this impacts you on the mat, give episode number 7, “The Downward Spiral” a listen.
