A WAKE UP CALL FOR THE PARA BELLUM JIU JITSU SQUAD!
9 COMPETITORS OF PARA BELLUM JIU JITSU / GFTEAM ZURICH COMPETED AT THE FIRST SWISS NATIONAL PRO 2019 IN AARAU AND THEY WERE WINNING A LOT OF MEDALS.
> 4x gold medals (1xAndrew, 1xAzahel, 2xNicolas),
> 3x silver medals (1xUros, 1x Andrew Mueller, 1x Luke)
> 2x Bronze medals (1x Phil, 1x Andrew Liyanage) (Hope I didn‘t forget anybody)
IT IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND CONGRATS TO ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS, COMPETITORS OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM!
BUT WE HAVE TO BE AS WELL CRITICAL TO US, CAUSE WE LOST AS WELL A LOT OF FIGHTS.
FIGHTS THAT WE COULD WIN, THAT WERE LOST BECAUSE A LACK OF CONSISTENCY IN TRAINING. SOME OF THE COMPETITORS WERE ONLY TRAINING A MINIMUM OF 3X TIMES A WEEK FOR THIS COMPETITION - WHICH NOWADAYS IS NOT ENOUGH ANYMORE TO WIN ANYTHING IN THE SPORT OF BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU.
MOST OF ALL THE ATHLETES IN BJJ ARE TRAINING DAILY, AND ARE DOING ADDITIONAL STRENGTH AND WEIGHT TRAINING NEXT TO THE BJJ TRAINING.
AGE OR WEIGHT IS NOT A FACTOR, EVERYBODY NOWADAYS IS TRAINING HARD AND FOCUSED.
THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO WIN ANYMORE WITHOUT PUTTING IN HARD WORK ON A DAILY BASE.
THIS WAS A WAKE UP CALL FOR SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS - REMEMBERING THE TIME WHERE THEY TRAINED MORE THAN 3 TIMES A WEEK AND WINNING MEDALS.
HOPEFULLY THE MOTIVATION STICKS A BIT LONGER TO THEM AND KEEP THEM GOING TO TRAIN THE NEEDED AMOUNT OF HOURS ON THE MATS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN BJJ.
CONSISTENCY OF HARD WORK IS THE KEY FOR SUCCESS - YOU BETTER LEARN THAT FAST - IT IS DIRECTLY APPLYING AS WELL TO LIFE!
AND NOW GO AND TRAIN JIU JITSU...!
1-2-PARA BELLUM!
