	200: From White Belt to Black Belt: How Your Jiu-jitsu Why Evolves	24 Oct 2024	00:24:17
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!

	87: Are You Beating Yourself Up?	17 May 2020	00:01:59
Are you beating yourself up? I had the realization this week that since I haven't had anyone beating me up on the mat for two months, I've started beating myself up. A very minor bump in the road with a client turned into a major crisis in confidence for me. I fell into the dreaded downward spiral. If you haven't heard episode 7 on the downward spiral, listen to it next. Until this week, I was unaware how much better I had become at setting boundaries and clear expectations, and going after what I wanted off the mat because I was physically doing it on the mat, or at least trying, a few times a week. It was becoming ingrained in me. I carried that behavior and confidence off the mat with me. I didn't even know that I was beating myself up until a friend brought it to my attention. It hadn’t occurred to me that the impact of not training would be mental as much as physical. I knew my Gi was getting a little tighter, but I didn't think I was mentally losing my edge. Be mindful of the chatter in your head.

	199: Funny Things Jiu-Jitsu People Say	10 Oct 2024	00:14:08
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!

	77: Writing Morning Pages for High Performance	16 Mar 2020	00:04:16
How are you? That feels like a loaded question this week, in a time of social distancing, uncertainty, and fear about what happens next. Earlier in the week, I pulled out my journal to write my daily affirmations. We just talked about writing affirmations in Ep 73 of the podcast. It’s part of my daily morning routine. But on Tuesday, the more I wrote, the worse I felt because none of them were ringing true for me. I got so frustrated that I finally stopped and scribbled, “This is all BS.” Then I just started writing everything that I was feeling inside. It felt so good to have an emotional purge and get it all out in a few pages. It was like a little visit back to my practice of writing morning pages. Later in the week, I was working on a podcast for a client and they mentioned Morning Pages and Julia Cameron. Julia Cameron is the author of a book called The Artists Way - A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. In this book, she walks us through the daily practice of writing morning pages. It’s a simple exercise of just opening up your journal and writing out in longhand, 3 pages of whatever is on your mind. The beauty of this exercise is that there is no wrong way to do it. You just have to do it. You open up your journal and if you feel it, if you think about it, you write it down. The purpose is that getting these thoughts out of your head on onto the paper opens up space for creativity. Right now, this feels like the morning practice I need to create the focus and clarity I need to perform at a higher level on and off the mat. What would happen if you walked into your next jiu-jitsu class and your mind was a blank slate? What if you weren’t thinking about what you needed to pick up from the store on the way home, or replaying a frustrating conversation with a co-worker? Would you have more capacity to retain what you were learning? Would you take better notes? Would you recognize the opportunity to actually put into practice what you learned in your next roll? My fellow white belts, would it all finally start to click? I am committed to a daily practice of writing my morning pages. I’m also going back and re-reading The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron. Would you like to join me in getting the distractions out of our heads so we can show up in the world and perform at a higher level? You can start your writing by answering the question I asked at the top of the episode. How are you? I will be posting about his weekly in our Beauty and the Gi Gang Facebook group. Join the group if you haven’t already. Tag us on Instagram @beuatyandthegipodcast and let us know how writing morning pages is impacting you. Podcasts are one thing that do not require social distancing. Share this podcast or another favorite podcast you have on social media. You taking a minute to do a screenshot and sharing it on social media is the number one way we reach more people with the podcast. Thanks for listening and we will see you on the mat.

	198: What's Possible in BJJ? Setting Realistic Expectations for Your Long Term Jiu Jitsu Progress	26 Sep 2024	00:28:08
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?
