56. Urmish Parekh - Competition, aggression and the game of Jiu-Jitsu

I’ve made a lot of interesting friends from jits and Urmish is one of them. We talk about the balance between strength and technique, his struggles of being the ‘big guy’ at the gym and insights from his first BJJ competition.

Stuff we talked about:

Gi vs. Nogi
Playing the game of ‘Jiu-jitsu’
Technique > Strength?
Being the ‘big’ guy at the gym
Asking the right questions
Being ‘aggressive’ and playing to your strengths
Finding an enemy and having a goal
More on our BJJ journey
The boys at GATO
His first competition
Sticking to the plan
To compete or not to compete, that is the question.
Getting my Blue Belt
Refining what you already know
Learning how the pieces move
Urmish’s tiny (but strong) legs
Changing nothing
Jiujitsu is indeed ‘not gay’

Oss,

Aaron
