The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 36: Back To The “Fundamentals”
Show Notes Chapter Markers

This week I discuss what it means to work on the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu. I define the fundamentals of the sport, what are good criteria for belt promotions, and strategies to improve our understanding of the fundamentals. I also talk about being a good uke, training partner, and a well-liked person in the gym. It really is never too late to refine the fundamentals in Jiu Jitsu. Regardless of whatever trends may pop up in the sport, make sure to always revisit the fundamentals because they never go out of style!
