Fight The Blue Belt Blues | BJJ Tips & Advice | How to get better at BJJ
Blue belt may be tough, but there are strategies and solutions for most of the problems that come up.
0:00 Intro
0:27 Technique
1:15 Tournaments
1:42 Training
3:10 Black Belt Advice
4:00 A Brief History Lesson
4:12 Cognitive Bias
5:05 Fitness
5:18 Sparring
5:42 History Lesson Part II
6:23 Imposter Syndrome
7:11 Blue Belt Advice
7:19 Is There a Target on My Back?
Many of us who start training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu drop out at blue belt due to unmet expectations, plateaus, and burnout. This phenomenon is often referred to as the blue belt blues.
In this video, I talk about technical strategies that we can use to ensure that we continue to get better at BJJ, how we can form a different approach to both pursuing and escaping submissions, what it means to level up at blue, and exactly why we might feel like we’re plateauing, even when we’re not.
I discuss potential approaches to training, fitness, how to engage with training partners, as well as what mindset objectives can help us to move forward. I talk about the possibility of competing against a black belt in judo, a wrestler, or an MMA fighter. I also share tournament footage from the first ever blue belt competition I did, at London Grappling Industries.
I talk about BJJ basics, the core principles and skill development that help drive future progress and success in BJJ, being a BJJ beginner, advancing from white belt to blue belt, tips for rolling, blue belt defence, blue belt submissions, and the level of consistency it takes to one day level up to purple belt.
I drew on guidance from a number of individual sources, including Kieran Lefevre, Fionn Davies, Jocko Willink, and John Danaher. I also spoke to coaches and coloured belts at various London academies.
I'm excited to level up from white belt to blue belt. 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.

How I Keep My BJJ Training Journal
Переглядів 2027 місяців тому
I started keeping a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training journal in order to help my progress. This is the template I'm using to record drills: Coach Name, Month Year You: the position you are in. They: the position they are in. You: your action/s. They: their action/s. You: post with the other hand, bring it out. Result: the position/submission you end up in. #bjj #whitebelt

🙏🏼💪🏼
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 ☺️
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! 🎆
👏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations!
