The journey of a single dad in Jiu Jitsu. From white belt to blue belt and beyond. I did 15 competitions as a White Belt and I'm currently up to 15 competitions as a Blue Belt. From those I've walked away with 38 gold medals plus several silver and bronze, including a 3rd in division and 1st in Open class for Master 2 Blue Belt at World Master in 2024
My goal is to help other ultra heavyweights by sharing what I have learned along the ways. The mistakes I've made along the way as well as the successes.

Adult Ultra Heavyweight Blue Belt Gi Division Match 6 Ground Warrior 2025 Jiu Jitsu Competition
This match was two of my opponents. This was a submission only tournament, with advantages for attempted submissions, penalties and upon a tie it would go to a ref's decision. It was round robin with the top two competitors having a finals match for 1st and 2nd. This match was won by cross collar choke

At the latest Ground Warrior (local Jiu Jitsu tournament) I decided to move up from intermediate (blue belt) to advanced (purple/brown belt). This was my first match, and I was able to get the takedown, maintain control and although I didn't finish a submission I definitely got a chance to work and try some things.

Made that guy look like a white belt
For sure. I definitely took notes and used them yesterday when I moved up to advanced and ended up paired with a purple and brown belt (I’m still blue).. ended up beating both🎉
Best part of this video was Galvao walking through it.
😂❤
good job
definitely
That was awesome to watch
💯 definitely good details to pick up from it
Stalling is clearly a strategy in IBJJF.
@@jimg1504 yeah, it absolutely is. Depending on the ref, it works either very well or not so much. And doesn’t necessarily seem consistent. It went in one competitors favor one match (won due to his opponent getting the penalties) and then the opposite his next (lost due to being the one getting penalties). Meanwhile I got a ref that didn’t seem to care and after being reset to standing from half guard with Kimura my opponent stalled the rest of the match. 🤷🏼♂️
nice
for sure, single to double lifted that big guy right off the ground.
spoiler nothing happens and green failed a throw at the end and lost

@@davidjonesgriz watch this a few times wtf did the big guy gets points from? dont see how this was not a draw
@ it goes down to a ref decision if its a draw
Whaaaat??! Wtf was it?
This ref wasn’t great. Should have been some penalties… particularly for the guy that was pushed out of bounds.
Ommmggg how boring. Please stop competing.
they aren't all going to be the most exciting matches, unfortunately. Especially at ultra heavyweight. Some of the other matches were good though. oss.
I can’t be the only one who thought that was Tom Hardy 😂
fat vs athletic
Beautiful duck under. You guys give me no idea what to do: I’m 6’7” but only 235-240lbs. I’m “small” compared to fellas like you two.
Get good at closed guard. A tall, strong person is a PITA when they get good at closed guard. In my opinion.
Did you have the Kimora locked in after he took you down?
I got to half guard, got the kimura, pulled it out of the pocket. He straightened his arm. I was starting to hip shift and go for a sweep when we got reset to standing. I felt like I had a pretty strong position. Having watched the rest of the matches I wish I would have pulled guard. And I was definitely upset to have lost my position to standing.
@ ya bro that’s why we are blue belts lol…. Lessons learned 💪
Man that was close one. Good match!
Thanks. It was tough because we were just locked up the whole time. That's how my No Gi Worlds match went as well. So I came back home prepared to work on what to do when that happens. I'm confident in my guard game, and there is an adjustment i can make to the throw by I was wanting to do in both circumstances. So I'm working both of those so I can do better next time.
The "I'm heavy and strong and can force you to tap from uncomfortable pressure on your neck so I don't need a real submission " submission. Whatever works.
I don't understand why people tap to it. I get this a lot too, it really is a pressure tap and doesn't make any sense because there are lots of things you can do to relieve the pressure. Especially from half guard
What’s that submission called?
That would be a "paper cutter" or "bread cutter" from half guard. There is no excuse to tap to one of these in No Gi, but I also find a lot of people that do. The 140lb black belt is always mind-boggled that people will tap to this. There are just so many ways to relieve the pressure
