In this episode, we tackle imposter syndrome. Whether you’re a fresh white belt questioning why your arms won’t do what you tell them or a seasoned blue belt wondering if you’re actually just getting lucky during rolls, you’re not alone. We break down why everyone from beginners to black belts can feel like they’re faking it, how to spot imposter syndrome in the wild, and—most importantly—how to stop letting it sabotage your training.

How well do you really understand your own training and skill level? In this episode, we’re breaking down self-awareness on the mats—how it affects your training, your progress, and the way you train with others.

We cover:
✅ Why self-awareness isn’t just about knowing your strengths but also your blind spots
✅ How the habits you develop in training reflect your mindset and approach to learning
✅ The role of feedback—why avoiding it keeps you from improving
✅ Practical ways to build self-awareness and use it to grow in combat sports

If you want to train smarter, improve faster, and roll with more intention, this episode is for you.
