Hey guys, it's Instructor Phillip from North Burnaby Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! I'm super passionate about Jiu Jitsu and always looking for ways to improve my skills on the mats. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just starting out, I've got some tips to help you get better at Jiu Jitsu.

Tip #1: Train Regularly

If you want to get better at Jiu Jitsu, you gotta put in the work. Try to make it to as many classes as possible and don't be shy about asking your instructors for feedback. The more you train, the faster you'll see results.

Tip #2: Focus on the Basics

At North Burnaby BJJ, we believe that mastering the basics is crucial for success in Jiu Jitsu. Focus on getting your fundamentals down pat before moving onto more complex techniques. A solid foundation will help you build a strong game and make it easier to learn new moves later on.

Tip #3: Take Notes

I've found that taking notes is super helpful when learning new techniques. Write down the steps involved in a move to help you remember it later. It's also a good idea to review your notes before class to refresh your memory and help you get the most out of your training.

Tip #4: Drill, Drill, Drill

Repetition is key when it comes to improving your Jiu Jitsu skills. Don't be afraid to ask a training partner to drill with you outside of class, or spend a few extra minutes working on a technique after class. The more you drill, the more confident you'll be when it comes time to use the move in a live roll.

Tip #5: Have Fun!

Jiu Jitsu can be tough, but it should also be fun! I believe that having a positive attitude is essential for success on the mats. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get a technique right away, and don't forget to enjoy the process of learning and growing as a martial artist.

So there you have it, five tips to help you get better at Jiu Jitsu. Whether you're a current student or thinking about joining the North Burnaby Jiu Jitsu Team, I hope this advice helps you on your Jiu Jitsu journey. See you on the mats!
