When returning to Jiu Jitsu training after taking time off, especially as an older athlete, a lower belt, your longevity in the art/ sport, depend upon your mindset. To maximize your Jiu Jitsu, you must keep one or more of these principals in mind:
When stuck in a bad spot, work with your opponent or training partner to allow him to get to the submission. And don’t forget to tap early.
Allowing your partner to get the submission helps you in many ways. He are some of those ways that facilitating a submission helps you:
You can prepare your body in the best anatomical position to allow your partner to get deep into a submission. This allows for accurate technique by your partner. When he uses technique, he will not have to force the position, using strength. You will likely not be in Jiu Jitsu shape when you first return to Jiu Jitsu training.
How quickly you return to Jiu Jitsu shape will vary from individual to individual, and depend on a variety of factors, including recovery.
You’ve heard about it for years now, the importance of recovery in athletic training. Jiu Jitsu is no different.
Jitsu promotes several different advantages for health and fitness: strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, to name a few.
Gains in these categories must be consolidated through rest and recovery, in order to hold onto and build upon the gains, but also to avoid injury.
You will get dinged up a little bit in Jiu Jitsu. Don’t let your excitement about being back on the mats hide the other signals your body is sending you.
Last, but not least, tap early, tap often. You are just getting back into it. Tap to everybody, especially training partners with lower rankings. If you tap to the guys under you, it usually takes a little bit of the edge off of them and teaches them that if they rely on technique instead of force, they will get the submission.
Recovery
Humility
Ego
Safety
Tap early, tap often
