BJJ promotions bring a lot of big feels with them. We're discussing the gamut of Jiu Jitsu feelings in this episode from imposter syndrome to feeling passed over. 

Promotions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are more than just milestones; they are reflections of personal growth, dedication, and your unique journey. Embracing the process and finding value beyond the belts creates a happier Jiu-Jitsu experience.
