I do however train times a week as well as do jiu jitsu based workouts with similar frequency. If you have a job, a relationship, or a family, many of you know this is pushing the envelope.
How can you surpass someone else in skill if they train with the same frequency and effort as you do AND they started BJJ before you did? The answer lies in your approach to training.
In a recent edition of Outside magazine a number of atheletes who compete at the professional level were interviewed. From triathletes to climbers their approach to training was examined. The key aspect of all of these athletes was that even though they are competitive at the most elite levels of their respective sports, they have 40 hour work week occupations and family obligations requiring most of their time.
The short answer is science. The long answer is that they approach each of their specialties in a systematic and strategic manner. The most well funded sports have known this for decades. Being as precise as possible in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. Rock IV is a great example, except in the end of this story the Russian wins.
Because he was most exact about his training. The best athletes and the best teams are the most strategic and most systematic about their training in addition to being the most practiced, most motivated, and best genetic masterpieces for their sport. How can you be systematic and strategic about your BJJ training?
