Most beginners quit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before they ever discover how powerful it can be.
Not because they're lazy.
Not because they lack talent.
Because nobody teaches them how to survive the early stages of training.
In The Black Anvil Beginner's Guide to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, black belt instructor Devin Fields shares the lessons, principles, and mindset shifts that help beginners stay on the mats long enough to build real skill and confidence.
Instead of focusing on endless techniques, this book teaches the foundations that actually matter:
• How to navigate the confusion of your first year of training
• Why progress in Jiu Jitsu is different from every other skill
• How to develop patience, confidence, and resilience under pressure
• Common mistakes that slow down learning and lead to burnout
• The mindset habits that separate long-term practitioners from those who quit
• How to build a game that lasts instead of chasing shortcuts
Written for white belts, new students, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of the art, this guide provides a practical roadmap for surviving the beginner phase and developing a lifelong relationship with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to the fundamentals with fresh eyes, this book will help you build a stronger foundation—on and off the mats.
