On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss Imposter Syndrome in BJJ and how to both overcome this and use it to your advantage. We discuss the problem with comparing yourself to others, if a high competitive environment a reason to change gyms, what Chewy looks for when promoting someone to their next belt rank, why Chewy doesn't prefer a strict curriculum for belt promotions, feeling like you have a target on your back after getting promoted, the "Garry Tonon Approach" to training in bad positions, how becoming a father can make yo better, stress and how you perceive it matters, why fewer black belts compete, the best strategy for overcoming imposter syndrome, and why belts are a representation and not the reality.
