It can be hard to tell if you’re getting better at jiu jitsu.

Not because nothing is changing.

Because everyone around you is changing too.

The people you used to sweep are learning to stop it.

The people you used to hold down are learning to escape.

The people who used to give you one problem are starting to give you different problems.

So from inside the room, progress can feel almost invisible.

Your rounds are still hard.

Your training partners are still challenging you.

You are still running into problems you cannot solve yet.

But that does not mean you are stuck.

It might mean the tide is rising.

And as the saying goes: A rising tide lifts all boats.

In a training room, that means your progress does not always separate you from everyone else.

Sometimes it just raises the level of the whole room.

You are getting better.

They are getting better.

And because of that, everyone still feels like they are trying to catch up.

From the boat, it may not feel like the water is rising.

But from the beach, it is a lot easier to see.

See you on the mats.

Looks like tomorrow was already booked.

At some point in training, most people start doing this without realizing it.
You look around the room.
You notice who feels tough to deal with.
Who seems to be getting better.
Who gives you problems.
Who maybe feels a little easier than they used to.
And whether you mean to or not, you start building a little ranking system in your head.
Then you have one bad day.
One rough round.
One training session where nothing feels sharp.
And suddenly it is easy to start reading into it.
“Am I getting worse?”
“Did they pass me up?”
“What does this say about where I’m at?”
But one round is not the whole picture.
One day is not the whole picture.
Everyone in the room is working on their own things. Some people are improving. Some people are experimenting. Some people are just having a really good day.
From the outside, it can look obvious.
But it usually isn’t.
One bad day can feel like it tells your whole story.
But most of the time, it’s just one bad day.
See you on the mats.
