For training Jiu-Jitsu, humor is important. From the start you are put in situations that if taken out of context can be rather awkward or not make sense– that’s where a good laugh comes in. The benefits of training combine physical, social, emotional, mental rewards but in a light-hearted sense, it’s just fun. Training, competing, spending time with training partners, it’s driven by positivity.

So we bring you some of the best Jiu-Jitsu memes that will make you laugh, nod in agreement, and most likely share with your friends. Some are very real occasions that you can’t help but laugh about, some are epiphanies that you most likely haven’t thought about until now but most of all, you can relate. You’re welcome:

When those in the crowd are looking out for you:

Anger management for girls:

We all know where Jiu-Jitsu sits in our priorities:

Some get it, some don’t:

Even kids know Jiu-Jitsu is good for them:

What happens when white belts learn from YouTube:

Yes, learning to break grips is important:

Kimura anyone?

It’s the little things:

No excuses:

Which is why we need to get them to stick to their guns and get on the mat:

What are some of your favorite Jiu-Jitsu memes? Let us know.

The great thing about Jiu-Jitsu is that you don’t need much equipment to train. If you have mats, a training partner and a mode of learning, you can practice the gentle art.

But sometimes using some gadgets or optional avenues can help you get more knowledge and practice even more efficiently. Here are two very easy pieces of equipment to facilitate your Jiu-Jitsu training and how to use them:

A timer app

These days you have many available products that allow app downloading. Usually this can be in the form of a phone: Android, Windows, Iphone. If not, you can use a computer like a PC or Mac or any kind of tablet like an Ipad, Kindle, Nook, etc. There are tons on the market. Locate your app store and download an application that lets you use a timer. An app that controls sets of time allows you to:

• Organize timed rolls or sparring

• Manage your repetitions for drilling specific techniques

• Set how long you want to work with someone for specific training

• Design a circuit training of exercises, solo drills or both

Some of the highest rated apps for example are: Timer+, @Timer, Interval Timer – For Fitness and Workout, Impetus Interval Timer

Tip: Put the time  of your set to 2:00 or 3:00 with an interval time of 0:10 to 0:20. If you are using a circuit training, know which moves or exercises you want to add into the routine, set up whatever equipment you need and then keep your interval time and set time rather low. If you’re focused on drilling a move, make it a longer set time to make sure you’re able to get enough repetitions in and lengthen the interval time so your partner has enough time to prepare for his/her moves.

YouTube

While we always recommend you seek out an instructor and/or Jiu-Jitsu academy, it’s never a bad idea to do your own research as supplemental training. Accessing YouTube through an app or via the website, you can scour an endless amount of Jiu-Jitsu resources. Use YouTube to:

• Upload your own matches from competitions to share with friends and family, as well as for review now and then to know what you need to work on

• Watch matches either of future opponents, teammates, or high level guys to learn some new tricks and stay up-to-date with the competition scene

• Learn techniques from other practitioners. There are some unqualified people who upload these types of video so be aware. To be sure, either know who is teaching and their credentials or just refer to our GRACIEMAG channel for plenty of moves taught by the most technical and experienced black belts in the world

Tip: Make an account and use the “watch later” function or create a Jiu-Jitsu playlist and add the videos you like so you can refer to them later. Separate drills and techniques from notable matches. Do your research to know what you want to study. Never supplement your academy’s training routine for YouTube videos and never assume that what’s you’ve learned online makes you an expert. Watching matches is a great way to see what the experts are using and along with their tutorials you can bring the information to your next class and talk about it with your instructor.

Blending the two resources

Once you have your app and you have an idea of what you would like to research, you can take a move or concept and drill it with the timed sets under supervision of your instructor. Using these two together have helped some of the best competitors and practitioners better understand the art they love.

Official Caio Terra 2013 Mundial Camp flyers

Caio Terra, currently ranked No. 5 in the IBJJF black belt rankings, is inviting anyone and everyone to attend his 2013 Mundial Camp from May 13 – 28. His GMA academy, Institute of Martial Arts, is located in San Jose, CA.

The 16-day preparation camp will host 30 black belts and give full access to classes, training, open mats and inclusion into the Caio Terra Team. Caio’s teaching abilities can easily be confirmed by any of his many seminar attendees all over the world. As he just returned from a long seminar tour in Asia, he is ready to focus on the 2013 World Championship come May 29 – June 2.

We asked Caio about some information regarding his camp and what it’s all about:

GRACIEMAG: Who is expected to be in attendance? Which black belts?

CAIO TERRA: About 30 black belts. Everyone from Soul Fighters team (Augusto Tanquinho Mendes, Rafael Formiga Barbosa, Diogo Moreno, Joao Gabriel Rocha, Leandro Tatu Escobar, etc.) My team Samir Chantre, Osvaldo Queixinho, Flavio Meier. Also, Mackenzie Dern and others.

Will you be teaching new moves? Focusing on strategy? Covering any of the mental aspect?

Of course. Competition moves, competition drills, competition training and all supervised by Itallo Villardo who is currently the best physical trainer for martial arts. He does many seminars world wide about physical preparation in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. I flew him form Brazil to prepare everyone and help people lose weight and more, whatever their goal may be. We will also do motivational speeches and help with the mindset.

Who do you think best gains from this type of training session?

Everyone gains. We had about 100 people join the Pan Ams camp and only half actually competed. I think it’s very good to know how professional athletes train. It’s an absolutely amazing experience. Most people love it and want to come back.

What do you think is the purpose of holding a camp less than a month out from a competition?

I believe that training for a week at the camp makes someone improve more than training at a gym for three months. Not just because of the fact that you will experience a lot [of] different styles and games but also the mental part. While training in the camp, the focus is mainly Jiu-Jitsu. Everyone improves physically, technically and mentally very quick.

Is there anything else you would like to mention?

We will be making episodes and posting on YouTube the videos of our training and preparation.

For more information regarding the camp and reserving your spot, please email: Nick@CTBJJA.com or call 541-602-0359.
