Worlds 2024: My Jiu-Jitsu Journey Recap and Lessons Learned

About this video

McPhee provides a post-competition breakdown of his jiu-jitsu match at a major tournament, where he lost to a Mongolian judo practitioner. He analyzes his performance, identifies areas for improvement including cardio, strength, and exposure to judo techniques, and expresses gratitude to his coaches and training partners.

Key takeaways

• McPhee argues his game plan was effective against wrestlers and jiu-jitsu opponents but didn’t account for judo-based standing techniques, which he credits with his opponent wearing him down quickly
• McPhee identifies specific technical adjustments he could have made, including pulling guard earlier rather than engaging in standup exchanges where his opponent had an advantage
• McPhee takes personal responsibility for conditioning gaps, recommending sport-specific cardio work like rowing and bike intervals alongside his step-based weight-cutting protocol
