Beauty and the Gi is a podcast about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that explores the intersection of life on and off the mat. Whether you are a new white belt, or a seasoned grappler, this podcast offers a blend of personal experiences, challenges, and breakthroughs. In each episode, you get the perspectives of the ever-curious Blue Belt Jen Edds, along with Black Belt and coach AJ Clingerman. Episodes are usually 30 minutes or less because we would rather be rolling than talking about it.

186: Do You Feel Pressure to Bring Value When Rolling with a Higher Rank?
Do you feel pressure to bring “value” when rolling with a higher rank?
From brand-new white belts to experienced black belts, we all bring unique value to the mat. Seeing the value we bring can be especially tricky when you’re new to grappling.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you’re learning a move for the first time, then you go to drill it, and your mind goes blank. We’ve been there and lived to podcast about it.
For upper belts, rolling with a less experienced partner is a chance to refine their game. Meanwhile, lower belts have the opportunity to receive guidance and learn from the higher ranks.
Every roll or drill has value when you approach it with intention. It’s your responsibility, no matter the color of your belt, to find or create value for yourself. This is your journey.
The Highlights
(00:00) Do you feel pressure to bring “value” when rolling with a higher rank?
(03:04) Rolling with new white belts
(08:51) Encouraging lower belts
(14:47) We all belong on the mats and bring unique value to every roll

183: Small Victories, Big Impact: Nurturing an Upward Spiral in Your Jiu Jitsu
We’ve talked about the downward spiral in previous episodes. You know, that moment when you make a mistake, can’t get out of your own head, and then the wheels fall off. We’ve all been there.
What if you flipped that concept and started building on the little things you are doing right? This episode was inspired by a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett. He and his guest, Daniel Priestly, talked about the upward spiral and how it had the power to compound your success.
We discuss the power of intention, mindset, embracing the learning process, and celebrating the small wins, no matter what color your belt.
(00:00) What is the upward spiral?
(01:44) The power of intention
(06:12) Finding the small victories and celebrating them
(10:06) Magic in the art of distraction
(18:37) The power of affirmations and a positive mindset
