Taking breaks in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is important for physical recovery, preventing burnout, reducing the risk of injury, and mental replenishment. It allows practitioners to reset mentally, reflect on their goals, and explore Jiu-Jitsu in different ways. While breaks may lead to skill regression, it is normal and should not discourage practitioners. Prioritizing training and communicating with significant others can help minimize disruptions in routine. It is crucial to listen to your body and align breaks with your goals. Getting back into training is as simple as showing up and embracing the journey.
