Creating a Supportive Jiu-Jitsu Community: The Power of the Buddy System

Bulletproof For BJJ Podcast

Do you feel lost at BJJ? Feel like you might want to quit? You need a BJJ Buddy! The fact that Jiu-Jitsu does not have a proper Buddy System is a problem that is leaving beginners stranded. JT recently experienced getting paired up with an experienced guy to show him the ropes. This totally changed how he felt in an unfamiliar setting. Having someone who is your go to person to help you when you get stuck can be a life saver. One of the hardest things when getting started in BJJ is simply not not knowing what to do in certain situations whether thats a technique or social rule you have no idea about. Having someone to help you integrate into this weird culture of BJJ not only can help you feel better but improve relationships between seniors and beginners.
Up to 80% of beginners quit before blue belt for lots of different reasons but not being able to connect is a problem we all face when thrown into a completely new environment. If the gym you train at doesn't have a buddy system you may be the one who could suggest it and bring about the change changes the future of another new white belt. If your Jiu-Jitsu academy does have a buddy system let us know in the comments.
