212: Celebrating Jiu Jitsu Wins: Finding Joy in Your Small Victories

Beauty and the Gi: Gripping Conversations about Jiu-Jitsu and Life

Have you ever reached a goal, only to skip the celebration and immediately focus on what's next? We are challenging you to slow down and revel in even your small Jiu-Jitsu accomplishments.

Jiu-Jitsu is hard. There are days when just getting on the mat is a victory. We’re using AJ's recent experience at Pans as an example of what to celebrate and why.

It’s about more than just getting your hand raised; it's about acknowledging personal growth and improved performance. Whether you've executed a flying armbar or just showed up on a day you didn't feel like it, celebrating those victories can reshape your mindset entirely.

Learn which rule violations AJ saw most at the recent IBJJF Pans tournament.
