First BJJ Tournament at Blue Belt • Gi • 145lbs
I entered by first BJJ competition at blue less than three weeks into the belt.
0.00 Stand Up
0.07 Guard Pull
1.33 Guard Pass
3.15 Kimura Attempt
This is the qualifier match of a Grappling Industries comp. There were six of us within my bracket (Gi Adult Female Blue Belt 145lbs). I won the match via points.
People often ask: how long does it take to get a blue belt? And they are often curious about what the requirements of a blue belt are in jiu jitsu.
I wanted to fight early into receiving the belt, partly to test myself and get out of my comfort zone, but mostly because I seem to learn so much from competing.
Thank you for watching. I’d love to have you come with me on my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training journey, if you want to follow along go ahead and hit subscribe.

Why Did I Start Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? | Becoming a White Belt
Good job 💪🏻
As a white belt with my first stripe, matches like these are much more relatable than black belt title fights. Thank you for posting and congrats on your fighting skills.
@@clownhands Thank you for the comment! ✨ And well done on that first stripe
Super happy that chic beat that dude! Take men out of women’s sports!
Which dude? I think the person in the black gi was a woman with a shaved head.
@ yeah, that dude.
Absolutely great. As a beginner blue belt, I recognize this match a benchmark to me. I'll send this link for my BJJ colleagues. Gambateeeeee! Kind regards from Brazil.
@@cristiano7378 Thank you for the comment and for sharing the video ✨ I appreciate the compliment!
🙏🏼
Somethings you forgot that makes a big deal for many students: the day of comp is the most boring day of your life. You register at 9 am (example). But only to compete at 11 am, then second match at 1 om and maybe even then at 3 pm. Is competing is hard. It depends. I wrestled freestyle and greco and catch wrestling prior to BJJ. So BJJ comps for me are much easier than you BJJ guys that have no grappling background prior to BJJ. I cannot imagine competing in BJJ without my wrestling background, bummer, no brainor, ouf. Also, the better your prep for comp, the better you'll be. If, you're a guard passer, you're supposed to be drilling guard passing hundred times per week, and I dont see early white belts comp students doing any of that, then they go and complain, of course its hard cause you've neglected drilling the big point moves. As Bernardo Faria pointed it even for white belts: you should push your comp match at a level that makes your opponent what the heck is happening, i never thought competing was this big hard. When I was wrestling, our coaches had us pushing our partners limit threshold to the point of getting in their head. Example: push him out of the line out of the mat, several times. BJJ early competitors, you guys dont fait enough, feint, bait, create fake set ups, then boom. Without this of course comp is hard. Dont need to be advance to train baits. Last word: even elite grapplers didnt win at comp until brown belt, yes even Marcelo wasnt successful before his brown. Thats it. Keep up the good work.
@@tededo Hey thanks for taking the time to write such an informative and helpful comment. Solid food for thought - I’ll definitely be coming back here to read it again. And thanks for the encouragement ✨🔥
Yes black belts watch this video.
It’s good to watch these competitions with narration. Educational!
Hey thanks for making this video. I will be having my forst competition in two weeks! I’m already starting to feel a little bit excited. These videos help :)
@@emre151 That’s awesome. Go smash it 🔥✨
I have been practicing martial arts for 35 years and am a third-generation catch wrestler with a 6th Dan in Judo. And my only goal was and still is to enjoy what I do to become a better person. And if I could offer some advice to all students, especially advanced ones like black belts. Please focus on how to study. Forget the techniques; a tree will never grow properly unless its roots are good. Learn the basics of universal concepts, not someone else's bad habits. Don't be a technique collector; with extensive training you will come up with many. Enjoy the emptiness of your consciousness; ego is only a manifestation of weakness that does not belong in martial arts. Get rid of prejudices; it is a manifestation of little knowledge of yourself. Martial arts are not only about defeating your opponents but mainly defeating yourself.
A joint lock is not going to look as bad as a Thai elbow strike on camera to a jury....
🙏🏼💪🏼
well played!
@@elcancion Thank you! ☺️
Congratulations
@@stephentobey8556 Thank you! ✨
@@JiuJitsuDoesNayla I started bjj in February. I’m an old fat guy with a bad shoulder so progress has been slow. If there were anything lower than a white belt, I’d be it. I’m trying to get my body to move in ways it hasn’t in decades. That’s the whole point to me.
@@stephentobey8556 Congratulations on starting - some people never get that far. I think your goals sound really awesome and self-focused ✨
One short quick correction I would like to add: most upperbelts with whom I roll are trying to win the trainings. It does pisses me. people tell me switch school. I did switch several times, but at some point, I'm afriad its engrained in the BJJ culture to pretend to train, but in reality, I observe guys wanting to finish their subs and craving for that last digit effort to win. Nothing pisses more than a purple of brown that literally yanks or jerks his sub to finish me. I try to avoid those guys later.
@@tededo Thanks for the insight. Yeah, ego can definitely be deceptive, frustrating, and difficult to navigate in BJJ training ✨
I am a blue belt now and remember 80% of the techniques we learnt because I always make videos of the technique the day I learn it and share it in our Whatsapp group. This way I remember all the techniques even from my beginning days.
@@bil-alak3382 That sounds awesome ☺️
bjj is not about memorzing techniques lol
Mesmerizing … thank you, I forwarded it
@@sir_Reall Thank you!
For me it is to get strong as fuck, become a wrestler like me.
@@gamegamer9523 Wrestling is pretty cool, but there are no arm bars
@@JiuJitsuDoesNayla I mean just turn it into catch wrestling then you have it.
I can’t remember all the details I’ve learned. When it comes to sparring, I can’t remember what I’ve learned to save my life 😂😂😂😂😂.
@@beautifulangel89 I think a lot of us have that problem!
Make sure you wash your belt regularly also
Agreed ✨
Kimuras never work on ladies 😂 such a solid setup, though!
We do seem to have more flexible shoulders, generally speaking!
Love it! Great way to put pressure on yourself to develop new skills. Now watch every opponent in the tournament decides to pull guard 😅
Wow this is a really cool concept
Thanks Dray!
Wow your so cute
You're really good! Hope to see more of your fights.
@@xret789 Thanks a lot! I’ll be uploading more matches soon ✨
I wouldn’t say not having a female brown belt is a red flag. The percentage of bjj practitioners that make it to brown belt is very low, and the ratio of women to men that train bjj is also quite small. This results in female brown/black belts being exceptionally rare. I’ve trained in a couple gyms that had a decent amount of women that trained with no issue with no female brown belts. I’m a man so disregard my opinion if you want, just my 2 cents.
Super happy to hear your opinion @HerculesLoyd I’ll definitely think about what you’ve said!
These three are killer thumbnails Nayla! Nice work 🙌 Really shows in the views. I’m assuming the CTR is higher than the others? Find a way to do them like this for your vlog content too maybe? ❤
@@brickthinking Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment with feedback ✨ It’s helpful!
Great tips! Many of them can be applied to other areas of life. 🔥
This was a great video and fantastic perspectives!
@@joshualeclear7401 Thanks Joshua!
Are you trans?
have you ever squeezed the ribs from closed guard?
That sounds mean 😂
@@VandersonT_ haha it’s more of a reaction move that usually ends up getting the tap
There is not enough action in this fight, that never was a real fight. The referee should have sapparate them in the beginning of the match, because a Card-position mostly never leads to any result. I don't understand why there was a winner pointed. This was No Victory at all.
Great No-Gi Grappling Match Ladies!
Congratulations & Great Submission Attempt!
Thanks Nathan!
@@JiuJitsuDoesNayla You’re Welcome!
Wow! Have you ever put an opponent to sleep with a choke before?
I have not but I’ve seen it happen in class! Thanks for the comment and the sub 😊
Jumping guard is banned for a reason. If she lands with her weight on your thighs you can say goodbye to your knees. In half guard try to get the foot of the trapped leg towards her butt that will make it easier to pass. When in three-quarter mount try to stay heavy on your knee by posting out with your other leg so she cant establish knee elbow connection. Good pass into mount.
Thanks Raphael! I appreciate the comment and the match feedback 🔥🔥🔥
That's amazing! Congratulations! 🎆
