HOW MUCH BJJ Should I TRAIN A Week To Get GOOD?

Are you just starting out in Jiu-Jitsu and feeling the urge to train every day, twice a day? It's important to temper your hunger and avoid burnout. In this blog post, we'll discuss when enough is enough and how to train smart to avoid burnout in Jiu-Jitsu.


Training Frequency for Beginners


  • As a beginner, it's important to start slow and gradually increase your training frequency.
  • The recommended maximum for beginners is 3 times a week, with twice a week being the most recommended.
  • Starting with a lower frequency allows you to ease into the training and gives your body time to adapt.


Building Up Your Training Frequency


  • Once you have established a routine and built a solid foundation, you can gradually increase your training frequency.
  • Experienced practitioners may train 5-7 times a week, but it's important to still take rest days in between to avoid burnout.


The Importance of Rest


  • More training is not necessarily better.
  • Giving your body and mind a break in between training sessions is crucial for recovery and avoiding burnout.
  • Rest allows your body to refresh and reset, ultimately leading to better performance on the mats.


Smart Training Tips for Longevity in Jiu-Jitsu

It's important to train smart and avoid burnout in Jiu-Jitsu. Starting slow as a beginner and gradually building up your training frequency is key. Remember that rest is just as important as training, so make sure to give your body the time it needs to recover. By following these tips, you can enjoy a long and successful journey in Jiu-Jitsu.
