#357 Give me 59 Minutes, I'll Fix Your Jiu Jitsu in 2026
About this episode
Most people won’t waste 2026 on purpose—but they will by accident.
In this short, no-fluff episode of The I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu Show, Josh McKinney(@thejoshmckinney) breaks down the simple mistakes that keep white belts stuck and black belts stale—and how small tweaks can completely change your progress next year.
This isn’t about new techniques, secret systems, or training harder. It’s about fixing the boring fundamentals of how you train, so your time on the mat actually turns into skill.
If you want 2026 to be the year your jiu-jitsu finally clicks, this episode is your reset.
Why most people “train a lot” but don’t get better
How to stop drifting and start improving with intention
The biggest mindset traps holding back every belt level
How to structure training so progress compounds over time
Give me 59 minutes—and don’t waste 2026.
