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. The line between assertive and aggressive is often blurry for women in BJJ and beyond. It’s time for a mindset shift. Assertiveness isn’t aggression; it’s clarity, confidence, and control. 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!

How often do you feel FOMO, the fear of missing out, when it comes to Jiu-Jitsu? It can come up when you're scrolling your phone and you see a new camp or seminar pop up that you can't go to, you might be recovering from an injury, but you're afraid you'll lose ground or get passed by if you have to take time off the mat, and sometimes life, work, and family need to be your top priority instead of Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu is hard enough without FOMO sneaking in and sucking more fun out of it. We've been there. We don't have all the answers, but we can share what works for us, or doesn't work for us.

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!

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

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!

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?

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!

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?

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.

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?

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!

From concerns about injuries to doubts about our abilities and choices, we've heard it all.

We also explore the deeper reasons that sometimes hide behind the lack of support, like jealousy, or the discomfort of seeing you grow and become more confident. Recognizing that these “concerns” may stem from someone else’s insecurities or expectations is essential. If you've ever felt discouraged or unsupported in your Jiu-Jitsu journey, this episode is for you. We share stories of overcoming these obstacles and finding the strength to pursue what we love.

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 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. Remember in The Empire Strikes Back when Yoda was trying to drop some wisdom on Luke Skywalker, but he just wasn't having it? Well, let's just say we have some thoughts on Luke’s unwillingness to be coached! But this episode is not all lightsabers and cute droids. We get down to business and share our insight and experience on what it means to be coachable in the world of jiu-jitsu. 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!
