No, but I'll take it!

YES SIR, CLA ALL DAY BABY

YES SIR

More to come!

I have grown a lot in my understanding of jiujitsu and what the belts mean. I have to say that I disagree with some of what I said in this video. I will be remaking this video soon. I would still stand behind my comments about being a good training partner, but I would alter it to reflect this: Move and act with intention. Defining words and ideas is important. I think you and I have a fundamentally different idea of what a good training partner is. I by no means equate being a good training partner with going easy or not rolling. It means you take care of your training partners, because if they're hurt, you don't get to train.

Also I have one stripe, we had promotions 6 months ago and are due for another this month.

That's awesome! Competing is great, and I feel that if you're doing well in competition, that speaks way louder than any other metric. You're putting yourself out there, testing yourself, and finding success. I would imagine a blue belt would be in your future. Keep up the work!

Training gi less could slow promotions as there's simply less chances to upgrade your belt in class. A lot of women feel that there are many gyms/coaches who promote women more slowly as well.

Yeah, but I'm glad I'm having it! Lots of new information.

I hope it helped! I have to be honest, I have COMPLETELY changed my understanding of what jiujitsu is so I don't necessarily agree with myself anymore, but I'm glad this was helpful! I'll record a new video soon with my updated thoughts.

CT!

Deadly white belts ? Interesting. The truth is most deadly white belts are guys whose grappling background are like former sambist champion, or 20 year judokas, or freestyle wrestling D1. Other than that, your instructors wont allow you to sandbag his white belts, it will hurt his academy.

@@tededo Well guess you're right, i have 0 wrestling.. grappling background havent ever even been in a fight or scramble. Im pretty tall lanky 6'2 175 but overall pretty athletic. Im not even sure how theyd go by it.. i was rollikg the other week for my first week free trial and i landed a bow n arrow on a purple and the other whites i was locking out with holding guard and having them fall into my traingles and arm bars. I am curious how they will grade me since i told them i trained for 6 months. i even ripped the stripes off my belt since its a fresh start at a new gym.

Skill beats size till size knows 30% of what you know.

I need one with you and Nicky Rod

Haha

Awesome, thank you! And thanks for hanging out the whole stream! You made it so much better man. I appreciate you.

I'm diving deep on it right now! I am no where near ready to explain it to others yet, but I am working hard on studying and implementing the practice to the best of my ability. I will 100% make some vides on it when I feel I can share information in a meaningful way, which will hopefully be soon.

I'm a little lost on what to say here. Strength is definitely a factor in grappling. However, a belt level does not represent someone's strength.

@StopTalkandRoll and it should not represent someone's strength...I agree. But day 1 on the mats 12 years ago- the present... strength gives far too many people problems. When I think undeniable....I think of all the backhanded compliments and comments made towards bigger, stronger people.....and I always ask them to simply use your " technique"...not as a jab....but as an equalizer. I am tracking the bigger, stronger, skilled person should win....we all know that. But what I am not tracking is how simply turning down the skill....completely....and increasing the strength....in the most basic positions gives so many " skilled " people problems.... That's why I have learned... everyone is not the same....and its hard to know who is who...on the mats. This isn't dig ....it's just odd that people at all levels ( from my 👀.....that's not saying much lol) Struggle with strength. They just do.... And we tend to gloss right over that... Again....not a dig...or slight.....just an observation

😐

Telling people not to use their strength is the equivalent of telling people not to use other skillsets or natural gifts. Nobody is going to say try not to focus on your flexibility or get rid of your long legs. Everyone comes in with different attributes. The beauty of jiu jitsu is that through proper timing and use of technique, strength and size can be defeated, but to say that it can be completely negated is dishonest. My 8 year old daughter could have the skillsets of Gordon Ryan, but she's not going to overcome the strength of an adult male. Actually, probably a good example, Gordon Ryan doesn't take PEDs for nothing.

@@Jimi1124 well, enough strength can overcome technique because it is in a sense technique. Example, I rolled with a dude that was 260lbs and I caught him in anarmbar. it was totally locked out, but he just curled my entire body. Even the best people have trouble with someone with a lot greater strength.

Sorry about that! I may be a black belt on the mats but I am quite the white belt in video editing! Thank you for the feedback.

You got it! Keep it up!

I started BJJ in 1999. My hours I consider mat hours are all mat hours, including drilling, rolling, and instructing. I was 21 when I got my blue belt. It took me around 2.5 yrs. I was at approximately 1800 hours when I got it. I quit for 17 yrs. I was at 2700 hours when quite. I got my 3rd strip on my blue belt around 3200 hours. I finally received my purple belt at right at 4500 mat hours. So it took me 2700 additional mat hours to go from blue to purple than from new white belt to blue belt. I originally trained around 15 hours per week including helping instruct the kids classes for a few years. I came back in Jan 2020 very slowly. Right around 5 hours per week. I eventually hit 25 hours per week of training / instructing and have tapered down to an average of 18-20 hours per week as I write this. I roll approximately 8-10 hours of that and drill / instruct around 8-10 hours per week. I’m at an additional 500 hours outside of my purple belt promotion. My expectation is approximately (1) strip for every 500 mat hour at purple, and to continue till black belt. So I would suspect 8,500-10,000 mat hours at black belt level. Which absolutely corresponds with the black belts it my gym. Plus that also correlates to the 10,000 hours of a skill to be considered expert level. This is just my personal experience and journey. Plus I’m no genetic freak of BJJ nature that had and easy time learning this skill. I struggled for 1/2 a decade before it started to make sense to me.

Congrats! It's all good, your coaches thought you were ready.

You got it! I've been doing a deep dive into the ecological approach to learning movements and I think that I may incorporate those concepts into that video when I get around to it... Keep an eye out for it!

I love that sub.

This is the way.

The modern day BJJ blue belt standards are beginning to be out of this world. The demand is ever increasing du to the fact that lot of white belts getting promoted, still keep their toxic habits, which makes it bad blue belters. The BJJ being watered down, forces instructors to jack the standard before BJJ gets the backburner of most martial arts.

@@tededo but a lot of times that has to do with professors wanting to win comps at blue belt level. In Mastering JuJitsu, Danaher and Renzo say a blue belt needs like two guard passes, 1 takedown, escapes from common positions, and two submissions from guard and mount.

Some who acts erratically and chaotically and wasting a ton of energy.

Glad you enjoyed it

Fantastic!

There's a lot to consider in that statement. Someone who's never participated in physical activity in their life? Yeah, sure. Someone who's a D1 wrestler/Judo champion and moving onto jiujitsu for the first time? I'd say 12 months is way more than enough. How often are they training? Once a week? 6 times a week? There are a lot of factors. In my experience from what I've seen from training for the last 14 years, 12 months is about the average time I've seen people go from white to blue. I took 18 months. I've seen it in as little as 5. Just depends on the person and their experience.

Sounds more like a timebased promotion standard to me.@@StopTalkandRoll

@@tededo Quite the opposite lol caring about a minimum time requirement seems more like a timebased promotion to me lmao
