  • 01

    Training Frequency

    How often you actually need to train — and where most people quietly burn out by doing too much, too soon.

  • 02

    The Right Way to Train

    Showing up is only half the equation. This chapter covers how to structure rounds, track progress, and train with intention — not just effort.

  • 03

    Exercises for the Mat

    The specific strength and mobility work that transfers directly to BJJ. No fluff — only what Roy has found to actually matter.

  • 04

    Maintaining Your Gi

    Sounds simple. Most people still get it wrong. Done correctly, your Gi lasts longer, stays fresh, and says something about how you respect the art.

  • 05

    Hygiene & Mat Health

    Skin care, preventing infections, and the unwritten code that keeps the gym a clean, safe place for everyone. The stuff nobody posts about online.

About the Author

"I wrote this because I wish someone had handed it to me on day one."

Roy has spent years on the mat — getting tapped, learning from it, and gradually building a real understanding of what it takes to stay in the game long-term. This guide isn't theory. It's the quiet knowledge that accumulates only through time, failure, and honest training. It covers what the YouTube tutorials skip and what most coaches don't think to say out loud.
