Why Consistency Is Important

why is consistency important in brazilian jiu jitsu

What keeps you consistent? Do you want to compete? Lose weight? Stay healthy?
What helps you maintain this?

This is probably one of the most important things in order to see success in just about anything. Being consistent will bring faster and better results. Not saying that with consistency that people don’t hit plateaus, but they do happen and being consistent and increasing intensity during this time help break those plateaus.

At just about any gym there are teammates out there that complain that they are not progressing, or seeing improvement in their game. Nine times out of ten those people are not consistent. They miss class due to injury, or other circumstances, they don’t push themselves during class or outside of it. With that said no ones life is perfect, and we all have crazy lives. But making regular class attendance is what differs between a hobbyist and an athlete.

For instance look at Jiu Jitsu guru Tom DeBlass, he pushes himself every day, inside and outside the gym. He is dedicated to his gym, and affiliates, his health, and most of all he is dedicated to his family. He makes time. He and many other well known practitioners have consistency, and that is what makes them successful. They do everything they can to be successful. Being in the gym and rolling and drilling will improve your game, but what you do outside of class and mat time help alleviate your game to the next level. Eating healthy, doing cross training, drinking water and adequate sleep amplify your training.

Doing these things not only will help your overall health and mood, but they will assist in recovery, and energy.

What are you goals? What are your struggles? Where do you want to see your overall health and Jiu Jitsu game in 6 months?
