When is the right time to start teaching jiu-jitsu?
Is it based on belt rank, experience, knowledge… or just whether you can actually explain things without confusing everyone?
In this episode of The Gi Spot, we break down the realities of instructing in BJJ — from helping beginners during drills to running full classes.
We explore the difference between being skilled and being able to teach, the mistakes people make when they start too early, and why coaching can completely change your understanding of the game.
Because in jiu-jitsu, knowing a move is one thing…
but teaching it is another challenge entirely.
