Accomplishing a Jiu-Jitsu purple belt is a challenging task for anyone. In this episode, I have interviewed Josh, who has recently been awarded a purple belt. Josh is a student in my Jiu-Jitsu Acceleration program and initially joined as a BJJ Blue Belt. When Josh started, he was struggling to find direction and was experiencing the Blue Belt Blues. During the interview, we discussed how Josh overcame these obstacles and achieved his Purple Belt. Here are a few big things Josh realized on his journey: 🚀 It's okay to ask for help 🚀 Focus on what you already know 🚀 Find a mentor (upper belt or coach) 🚀 It's normal to have ups and downs   Podcast Support Survey (Google Form) https://forms.gle/oXz4LBAZ423T2f7G6   Start Taking Ownership Today (Jiu-Jitsu Coaching) www.chasenhill.com   Top Product Recommendations: Grappling Dummy - Grapple Smarty 2.0: Use Code: "CHASEN5" for a discount   ▪X Martial Gear: 10% OFF (Use Code: CHASEN10) (No-Gi Gear) ⇒ Only Fans Rashguard ▶ https://bit.ly/3mAZz3u ⇒ Hillbilly Rashguard ▶ https://bit.ly/3N5ptHJ ⇒ Custom Rashguard ▶ https://bit.ly/3L1Phmw ▪ Gold BJJ Gear: (Gi Gear) ⇒ Gold BJJ: Free Body Wash ▶ https://goldbjj.com/chasen ⇒ Areoweave Ultralight Gi ▶ https://bit.ly/3UJDooC ⇒ Calavera Gold Weave Gi ▶ https://bit.ly/3KF6IaX   Questions are always encouraged.
