How a White Belt Won An Expert Level Jiu Jitsu Competition

- A throwback to when I won an expert division at NAGA
When I competed in this competition I had been training for a year and 2 months. Never did any form of grappling before that. I got promoted shortly after this competition. I’ve documented my jiu jitsu journey on my Instagram ⬇️

I love the honesty, "TBH, I really didn't wanna wrestle an MMA fighter." So raw, and true. I wouldn't want to either.
Yea that dude was pretty unnecessarily rough it seemed - then again I don't do wrestling so no idea how annoying it is
@@airsoftsniper9191 yah, im sure this is true for most grappling sports but there’s an emphasis in wrestling on creating small amounts of pain or being rough and using ur opponents reaction to it as an opportunity to claim some space or a grip/limb that you needed
@@airsoftsniper9191 im a state wrestler and I dont even do that when it comes to a matt. Thats just immature mma mentality tbh.
@@airsoftsniper9191 I would say the roughest it gets im wrestling is when somone pins you with a armbat aka chicken wing. Or when somone snaps your neck down with heavy hands to get you to react.
I’m a state wrestler and I try to put my opponents in pain
A belt color is mostly a rough indicator of how good a grappler is by way of credentials. Not always an accurate indicator of your skills. In this case, you were well prepared and neutralized your opponent's strengths. In this case, you've obviously clocked way more hours on the mat compared to the average white belt. Well done! I enjoyed seeing how you documented this.
In this case, i agree with your statement. In this case, you are correct.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more hours
Regarding your first sentence - you cannot generalize a universal significance to belt level, anymore than you can generalize what all belt systems and their underlying standards are. It is all relative to each individual school/instructor. In some schools (often with a heavy competition focus) belt level really can be directly tied to practical skill, and a blue belt there could easily be a purple belt elsewhere. Other schools can favor other standards, such as time in grade, technique, attitude, etc., and belt level means something else. In the end, what you are claiming is true, but only in some of the places, some of the time.
@@BuddyLee23 That's why he used "mostly" and "not always"...duh!
@@ramonmartinez7613 I do understand and appreciate the qualifier, but that is exactly why I commented. Mostly *is* a generalization, and at this point, even just within BJJ, the meaning and significance behind the various organization-specific belt systems (and any belt which may be derived thereof) is so varied that there is no longer a common 'mostly'.
That blue belt in the final was 100% trying to cheese win that match. Stalling the timer out then getting 1 or 2 points in the last 30 seconds to crutch out the win, the fact you submitted him that fast just shows truly how bad he actually is. Well done, was frustrating to watch let alone compete vs someone like that.
am I stupid or isn't joshua doing the same thing sit guarding ...?
@@resiliencevideos not really because the other guy is standing and is in a sorta neutral to advantageous position, while with josh being in guard he's in a disadvantageous position because he has less mobility and is not guaranteed to win when the other guy shoots in.
@@jessdriscoll1056 josh is "fight me at my terms" and the other guy is "no"
@@resiliencevideos Joshua is more skilled if he can beat these guys from the bottom guard with transitions etc. he clearly showed it in the video. even against a decent bellator mma fighter who has been training BJJ for way longer.
@@drinkmorewater8791 joshy is tryina cheese em with something they're not ready for, if he was "more skilled" he could just stand up and take the guy no?
Reminds me of a guy I knew that wrestled for 8 years and trained MMA for 4 years after, and competed as a blue belt because he "never trained gi". So 12 years of grappling training and competing as blue belt...
so WTF were these brown belts then bud? if he was sucha white belt sandbagger? you're salty
You think being a wrestler helps versus modern bjj ?
@@uberjackkde I only do nogi and one thing I’ve learned is that most of the time belts doesn’t mean much in terms of who will tap who. And tell me why being a wrestler helps so much again, Craig Jones, Gordon Ryan, Lachlan Giles…? They don’t have any wrestling background
@@uberjackkde yes I have they are easy to leglock
@@LOLLYPOPPE well I just lost a tourny to a triangle in tampa first year grappling but I'm a good wrestler I was up by 2 points against the chaamp becuase I took him down and with thirty seconds left he smacked a triangle on me for trying to post as a standard wrestler would so to each is own I guess but it definitely helps and I almost beat someone a lot more experienced than myself being unaffiliated as well
Your coach is able to bring out the amazing natural talent you have for combat sports. Your calm, calculated, confident, gritty, and pay attention. Congratulations on winning the belt, you are the force to be reckoned with in your division from now on so keep winning. Ousssss brother 🔥
everything you said is bullshit
@@firstname4337 hush now
Remember to re-stomp that groin. Oussss!
Yeah I know! So chilled!
@Aryan Toon Read the description. It's still is clickbait though...
I started BJJ in 2004. The level of today's blue belts are like that of purple belts back when I started. BJJ has evolved so much. Everything is better. Guard passing, guard retention, submissions.. With the exception of takedowns (which is the only part of BJJ that has got worse).
Amazing to see you beat two brown belts after 14 months of training. I've seen brown belts been caught before by white belts and blue belts in training, but never seen a white belt do this good in competition. I don't train anymore but I definitely appreciate how good the young guys are these days. Well done!
saying white belt means very little, how many years have you trained grappling, wrestling, jiu-jitsu. etc...?... that's the question. This is clearly not in your first month on a mat. Great performance, congratulations!!
read the description
Tony this guy is talented...
Looks like +2 years
Huge difference between NoGi and Gi. Have them all put on a gi, and you'll see a white belt.
I'm a whity and I hang with higher belts very well with nogi.
Looks like 10 months to me
You’ve got talent kid. I’m well past my prime these days, but way back when, I wrestled at the collegiate level (Div 1) and can say some people are naturally adept at grappling. You my friend are one of those individuals. You can’t accurately judge someone’s prowess simply by their belt color and you proved that as well.
Quite an impressive display for a white belt. Clearly deserving of a promotion. Congrats!
He’s not a white belt. He’s a clickbating youtuber.
@@jca4081 and u a fatass hating keyboard warrior
@@rutsg8449 He won't suck your dick bro. Don't cry about someone speaking factual information
Thoroughly enjoyed it , very sharp basics of grappling and well prepared , wish you a successful career
Man that submission was amazing, that fast switch into that back from that position, that requieres some top insight. Very well done, look forward to seeing more from you.
I think the most skillful thing about jujitsu is avoiding hurting the other man's private area by accident in a tournament
I really dont think that because someone chooses to take themselves down that now the other person has an obligation to go to the floor when their opponent hasnt taken them down. This is one of the many problems with the way grappling rules make standing grappling a superfluous novelty.
Don't complain about stalling when you're pulling guard from the first -second in, you're both cheesing the system, and frankly, you initiated it. You have some great physical intuition, and domineering strength, especially for your size. Great job grabbing your first Naga win, and a really nicely edited compilation, look forward to seeing your journey in the sport.
Coming from a guy who doesn’t understand all the competition rules of different BJJ organizations but knows wrestling I think every grappling competition should start on your feet and you give up points for giving up your back. I understand BJJ and having someone in your guard can be advantageous and being in someone’s guard isn’t a dominant position. That said a lot can happen going from standing to the ground. Also if it’s done for sport like in a competition or event it’s boring to watch someone laying on their back waiting for the competitor to be the aggressor and engage them.
Dafuk ? Pulling guard is fair and realistic, stalling isn't!
@@SadaParkour he can stop the guy from stalling any time he likes by standing up and wrestling with him, and/or by actually pulling guard (not just sitting on his butt) so that his opponent doesn't have infinite space to do anything he wants.
@@dannyholley so the guy with infinite space to do anything he wants but isn't doing anything with it, isn't stalling?
@@bridgermorrill7356 don't conflate knowing how to wrestle with stalling. If the guy who pulls guard from across the room with no control over his opponent can't wrestle, he should be at the gym working on that, not at a grappling tournament expecting other competitors to handicap his glaring weakness.
Purple belt here/former high school wrestler here. Some of your techniques were easily purple/brown level. I suspect in the gi a lot of those moves would not have worked with strong grips from your opponent, but you move really well. Not just for a white belt but just move really well. I have no doubt ur going to be one of those blues that beats browns regularly very very soon. 8 years ago I trained with this purple (I was white then) who in the gi got beat by most purples at his gym, but in nogi could beat almost all the browns and gave the blacks a tough time. He did a lot of wrestling, and like you, moved really really well. I considered him a black belt level comp in nogi. Look forward to following this talented young guy's career!
What's the name of the submission at 5:40
Yea. Definitely not a true white belt.
@@ziyad1809 that’s called a handshake
@@garrettmckuin7294 I meant 5:30 oop
@@ziyad1809 ha I’m just messing with you man. I think it may have been a kimura though
Don't care what color your belt is, a super solid performance.
"The best fencer in France need not fear the second best, but he must fear the worst."
Such a great combination of commentary/editing. Both super informative and funny! Great job man 🤙🏽
Dude, I barely even have an interest in BJJ besides being an MMA fan and a JRE podcast listener. And you managed to get me to subscribe and comment. Seriously, keep doing what you're doing. You are a very talented individual (general sense), you seem intelligent and well spoken and could potentially be a good role model for a lot of young content creators and BJJ students alike. This is the second video of yours I watch, just by accident, and both I watched from start to finish without even considering checking the length of the video. That is about as high praise as a UA-cam video could get, in my mind.
Bro.. you tapped Johnny Campbell... as a white belt, that's nut!. He made me soooo much money by choking out Henry Corrales (henry was a -900 favourite) that makes this all the more impressive. What a gem of a channel I have found.
Yes because the guy pulling guard and refusing to stand up isnt the one stalling
Mkay... this isn't white belt stuff... And people saying you should of at least been ranked a blue belt yeah NS jack Stapleton Is pretty well seasoned. Also who puts a white belt in the advanced division?! Like what is this.
yeah it's bullshit. If his coach thought he could be competing in an expert division, then his coach should have promoted him already. This guy is awesome, though
@@dodgecoates8760 yeah the kid is definitely good. But something about this video really annoys me.. 😒
It's like sandbagging in reverse haha
@@timbabyok5229 yeah you’re salty that a talented kid who’s not “supposed” to win did. Who cares. Be happy for him
@@Jamesbradley001 he is supposed to win. That's why his coach put him in... I think what I'm more salty about is he's definitely not " suppose" to be a white belt .
"SANDBAGGER" Won An Expert Level Jiu Jitsu Competition ; - ) Well done!
while that dude is very not a real white belt in this, I believe NAGA nogi events are beginner intermediate expert. So he competed against the most advance competition he could have.
Dude my club had a comp yesterday and the Sandbaggers were out in full force. It's so fucking sad
Whats a sandbagger
@nicholas decato yeah we're all big pussies please don't hurt us.
@@theBartasTLP it's a guy who lies about how good he is to compete against people worse than him. Basically a smurf from video games. For example, khabib was technically a bjj white belt well into his ufc career, he could have competed against dudes who have literally 6 weeks of grappling experience.
The guy in the video did not sandbag though, he went into the most advanced division.
I love how you explain everything and why! Makes me want to go back into Jiu Jitsu !!
I placed second in at a naga tournament years ago with no bjj belt whatsoever I wrestled for years in school though just dumped everyone and controlled the whole time lol I lost in the final to someone pulling guard like him. This guy is a good grappler and you can tell he has spent time rolling with people who were better than these guys he went up against. Good job tough kid.
I was rooting for you - the ending of the video was worth it. Well done buddy!
Beautiful. Personally, I would have graded you as a bluebelt. Congrats nonetheless - those competitors were no joke. All your hard work has paid off.
Really like the breakdowns, helps new to the sport people understand the mindset and techniques.
yeh thx man!
Talk shit on a “staller” but you’re a guard puller. He did the smartest thing he could do against you.
He did what he had to do. And it worked, its a viable option, unlike just not doing anything.
You dont know anything about anything
@@therocweborn6414 i don't wrestle whatsoever, but by the looks of it any time he got into any type of wrestling he lost- badly. he spends all of his time stalling but when it comes down to it he gets wiped, by josh.
If you did this with only 14 months in BJJ, you are exceptionally talented!
Thank you for keeping your breakdown humble and real. Just subscribed due to that
LOL the music and commentary is gold. Enjoyed this.
Dude, this is only the second video I’ve accidentally ran across, and they were both bad ass you’ve gained a new follower 💪🏽. I practice Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu and have made respect for you my dude clap 🤛🏽!
🤙 Carlson Gracie Luxembourg from my part, osssss
Your friends are the absolute best part of this video. The screaming killed me😂😂
I wish I rolled like that when I was a white belt 🤣 awesome work bro you're a natural, continue in that trend and soon you'll be competing professionally, hats off to you bro Oss
Josh... ... ... you've got a motivated and excited corner!
You’re clearly a high level blue belt competing as a sandbagged white belt, your technique is very blue-purple, but very blue imo, you wrestled well and transitioned beautifully, your awareness for this art is stellar. Will be cool to see you throw your own style and flavour onto this more.
bruh this dude beats brown belts, stop tryna be a fake expert
"Im a white belt in a nogi tournament, So just take my word for it lol." Great work though if you are you need a big promotion.
You may have a teacher that’s a good teacher in terms of teaching jiu jitsu and has a big heart holds nothing back. Like you’re his son. But there’s nothing worse than the stench of lies
. You’re not a white belt. And I’m sure you know that
I’m sure you know that people know that and you don’t care about yourself it’s not the world
you think this is fun
it’s not funny not to have integrity
it’s not fun to spit on your own honor
there’s nothing fun about it the last laugh is on you🐰🌈🌲 my hope is that you drop your ego and look at the words I said no then I’m your friend I’m giving you good advice. Jiu jitsu is nothing without honor.
Honor is the Knights of the Roundtable king Arthur so Lancelot. Honor is the way you live for yourself not for anybody else.
Man, crazy stuff! For 1.2 years this is god level. :)
Dude your open guard, guard retention, shoulder crunch, knee cut is epic. Very impressive. Great watch
for 7 minutes and 42 seconds i was entertained, good video man!
you could train submission grappling without the gi for 20 years and step into a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school and be a "white belt" with the gi on. didn't Jon Jones just get his blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. never mind the fact that he's submitted machida blackbelt, Vitor Belfort black belt, etc, etc
jones is a wrestler and thats why he subbed all the bjj guys
@@donniedoesdishes you would think it would be the other way around
@@asphaltking3452 yep lol
dude behind the camera is the kind of guy everybody needs at their matches
This is what happens when you're consistent with training. Good job.
This has got to be the coolest Jiu-Jitsu video and breakdown I've ever seen. you explained it so well and it was very impressive how you competed with those guys especially giving that MMA fighter so much trouble. You had me cheering for you when you submitted the last guy. it's a really great video.
Subscribed.
Bro, as a fellow white belt this video was super insightful and entertaining, congrats
Absolutely love these breakdowns always watch as soon as one drops
I appreciate it man!
that was. fuckign sick. nice editing, nice commentating. Good shit dude.
Homie you had me screaming "SUB! SUB! SUB!" in my office lol. The wife wanted to know if everything was ok LOL. Best vid all day bro. Now I'm def gonna "sub" lol
Haha thanks so much for the comment and for the “sub”
Just started training bjj coming from a wrestling judo background and bruh you taught me so much lol
Haha that’s great to hear!
insane video bro
Thank you man
congrats man its good to see people training and having fun with their peers
That was super exciting to watch, I was getting nervous on that final match. Congrats!
Wow. You should be at least be a purple belt. Great job.
The last match got me hyped at the end !! Well done man :)
Dude, love your self-deprecating comedy. You are a skilled guy, with great calm on the floor, which is very productive. Keep up the excellent work!
I was super impressed with the guard passing in the 2nd match. Very slick movement with your legs.
This gives off lifetime wrestler turned bjj newbie vibes like a mf. Or you’re just a savant at grappling. Either way, great work, basics executed well are still very effective. “Just because you learn the double leg on day one doesn’t mean the lateral drop is better.”
This video had no business being so entertaining
Great work josh..ignore the hatred.. you killed it bro
it's like those guys saying they quit their jobs within 3 months, after starting an internet business... when you discover they got marketing experience and stuff
This video was more helpful in understanding bjj mechanics than most instructional videos offered on UA-cam
Your skill level looks like a high level purple belt to brown belt. Great job
Dude, your skill is way beyond wb level - nice job.
Depending on your instructor a belt can mean very little. Some schools hand them out to anyone who can afford it where as some test for it and some give your belts when they feel you are at a certain level. In that sense a belt can give the illusion that someone is of a certain level when in fact that may not be the case. Essentially it can act as a poker face.
On the other hand, martial arts that don’t originate from Asia usually don’t use belts such as wrestling, boxing etc.
muay thai also doesn’t use belts
Lethwei doesn't use belts
generally, if it’s a legitimate bjj program, you’ll know because they’ll have a reputation, since a black belt takes 15 years, so while there are some bs trainers and training systems, if you can find out theirs, you’ll find out just how legit they can be, like if they do gracie bjj, or machado bjj
@@Safistic muay thai uses prajeet, witch is the same, stop lying !
dude you are legend grate run !
I watched one minute of this and then got busy. I have it bookmarked to watch later because this is the kind of stuff I want UA-cam recommending me! I’m already hooked and have to see how this happened!
CONGRATULATIONS SIR!
Them Gordon Ryan and DDS video be hitting 🤌 def don’t move like a white belt but good shit nonetheless, specially against the staller (from personal experience I know tapping those type of people feels nice haha)
I hope your coach pulled out a purple belt for you after that stellar performance.
ps: what was the sub did you get the bellator guy with?
It looks like he either tapped because he knew time was out or he couldn’t bear shin on his bicep
Yeah he just tapped because time was about to be out, I didn’t have any submission there
yo this is as funny as it is skillful. great editing. you got brains fam
Cupcake Campbell is my favorite Bellator fighter right now! Awesome to see him pop up here
Question: How many years have you been training in the field of MMA?
Your pressure is perfect from what I can see. You're constantly doing something switching from upper to lower. Great stuff. Nice work!
That final victory was satisfying
The double ankle sweep is gonna get that guy ROASTED at his gym. You just stole that man's dignity.
This guy is a menace to jiu-jitsu society. Out here subbing stalling cheese clowns and going toe to toe with brown belts and winning. He broke the system and I'm all for it.
GOAT energy
Wearing a regular t-shirt should be illegal in a nogi comp. That shit could trap your fingers and toes.
I audibly said “stall that!” Good shit man
Haha, thanks man!
@@JoshRichBJJ no problem brotha keep posted on competitions! Would love to see one in LA
Commentary is hilarious. Nice work. Don’t quite believe you’re a white belt but I do like the video and wish you great training!
Idk if any one saw Rolls Gracie commented below. Pretty interesting comment from a pretty experienced person. That being said, congrats. Decent guard game. BJJ skill levels at a specific rank fluctuate widely it seems dependingon where you train. I've seen an AOJ white belt pull guard, berimbolo, and sub his opponent while I was reffing. It is possible that you honestly only trained a year and got to a decent skill level. Possible, but not probable. Naga's expert divisions vary greatly in skilled opponents depending on the tournament. You did really some nice guard retention and transitions. Nothing insanely over the top so it's not totally unbelievable you're a white belt. The only thing I REALLY find suspect is it seems several of your videos are titled "how a white belt won expert", or "blue belt vs black belt." Kind of seems like you're fixated on this idea of bragging about beating( or getting close to) higher ranks. Like looking for that "wow" from people. You seem like a talented player with a bright JJ future. I would just scrap that fixation title, and just put up your vids. Youre narrating is cool. Showing your JJ skills is nice. But something just comes across super off when you often title your videos with those kind of "bragging" titles then try and downplay by poking fun at yourself. It still comes through regardless of the downplay. Keep on training hard, you're definitely on the right path and don't worry about the belt rank so much and you'll be all good! Congrats!
he's a youtuber, if he wants to hit algorithm like he did with this video then he should continue the title formats that work for him.
Can’t knock him for creating titles that will market his channel well. There’s a reason why people want to see vids like that. It’s cool stuff. Not everyone is obligated to be a humble monk on UA-cam and throw away their marketing
Hey man don't worry about all the slightly salty comments, its clear your just talented and that is it! Congrats on the win, hope to see more matches from you :).
Thank you bro :)
*You're....as in you're a casual
it's clear that he's not a whitebelt -- his coach has probably held back the promotion just to make the school look better
@@firstname4337 Probably a little bit, but most schools do that to some extent. Also in his description it says he has only trained for 1.2 years, so if that is true then that is still within white belt training time and it is subjectively up to his coach to promo. I think him being athletic helps a lot in this context (probably did other sports before). Have you seen the AOJ white/blue belts? Or even Jon Jones who started as a white belt in BJJ when he could have been murking people
@@camn7542 MMA fighters that train no gi for 10 years then throw on a white belt solely for the fact that they're new to gi..that's bs, and there is a word for that. "Sandbagging"
You do the "shoulder crunch" a lot and apparently successfully. Your "shoulder crunch guy" when I talk about you now to my friends. Could you do a video about your "shoulder crunch," "shoulder crunch guy?" #respect We enjoy your videos very much.
Congrats. and great break down.
long time ago i was a blue belt, i refuse the purple belt (after injury i became useless)
its really a great performance you do, maybie
but you've probably done other sports before like skateboarding and surfing
and I even did a randori with some break dancer guys and they were very strong !! (no joke)
anyway great
Yeah break dancers are weirdly strong. I did track and field before I started jiu jitsu
I'm just noticing that ref who did the first match also reffed me in NAGA in orlando. I hit a flying armbar lol
Cool
With that hype squad i'm actually not surprised at all you won haha
That was crazy fun to watch. Had to feel good
There is not a chance in a million years your a whitebelt!! Great performance, but I can imagine you been training 6-7 years man
Yeah that's just stupid he got at least more than 2 years of training i don't know who he thinks he's fooling, i mean who on internet watches random videos of BJJ with few views on them because they binged all there is interesting to watch on the subject and end up watching random shit like that but bjj guys who're hanging around and resting while on youtube, that's just stupid and makes me wanna hate a bit i mean his matches weren't even that interesting, his strategy was boring he was clearly playing points (which again proves he isn't a white belt) and god that last match was a pain to watch even his "miraculous finish" was meeehhh, also NAGA is far from being one of the best competition in america where in the world did he see that, gosh this video made me way more angry than it should have. I want to see this presoumptious kid come at the IBJJF, ADCC or EBI and just get absolutely shredded and stop competition or start pumping roids like every top guys at these events hahaha
@@williamm4366 hey bro link ur professional bjj record plz thx or shut t he fuck up
@@williamm4366 lmao yeah if you ain’t got the jiu jitsu credentials, we don’t want to hear your arm chair “expert” advice, besides this kid is a white belt who competed against Brown Belts, he doesn’t need to prove himself against the best at IBJFF and ADCC, he’s barely blue belt now
@@williamm4366 i met this guy in real life. He’s being honest about how long he trained
If your a white belt, how are you doing flying armbars and moving like a purple belt on the mats? Ether you have been training in catch wrestling for years, or your not a real white belt.
That clip of the flying armbar wasn’t of me, just a video I found on the internet. I only trained for about a year when I competed in this competition. But I did track and field before I started jiu jitsu
@@JoshRichBJJ That makes more sense then. But you should be a blue belt at least, you must have all your stripes and your coach wanted you to own before moving you up to blue. You looked at least intermediate.
He's somehow a blue belt in his previous videos
@@hasanc1526 Figures... Well, that's one way to get views.
@@hasanc1526 This is how you can tell you werent paying attention to the video lol. He says this comp footage was from a while ago before he got his blue belt

people saying "belt don't matter..." lol. that doesn't matter because this man is a legend. Good job.
I’m a brown belt now, I did not look like that when I was a white belt especially in competitions lol. Damn bro you talented as hell
In what universe is this guy a white belt?
hahah i swear i almost just commented exactly this sentence!
...because he mainly does no-gi and never do gi classes.
That was sincerely a joy to watch! Congrats on the win! Tremendous job!
I enjoyed watching that. Way 2 go kid.
Extremely misleading. You may be a white belt Gi player for not training Gi but are NOT a white belt in grappling. You’re downplaying your skills for some reason but as a legitimate purple belt I can easily see you are NOT a white belt.
My Instagram is @JoshrichIv I’ve documented my jiu jitsu journey there and you can see I had only been doing jiu jitsu for a little more than a year when I competed in this competition. Never did any grappling before that. I’ve just been addicted to jiu jitsu since I started so I train 6 times a week and watch instructionals.
@@JoshRichBJJ then my apologies and mad respect my friend.
Your sweeps, passing and control are easily recognized as being beyond a white belt level. Your scrambling and recognition of position are advanced beyond white belt as well.
I’m much older, I’m sure, at 37. I train 5x a week and have been for 4.5 years so I get the accelerated growth with increased mat time but your skills should be represented by nothing less than a blue belt if it isn’t already.
Keep training, you’ve got a mind for it, that’s obvious. OSS.
@@StarkRealtyAdvisors no problem, and respect to you as well for being a fellow Jiu Jitsu addict. Thanks for the kind words I appreciate them a lot
@@JoshRichBJJ 6 times a week, once a day or 2-3 times a day?
Well, personally I think that the can opener and twisting leg locks are more dangerous than they're worth, but I guess that is up to the BJJ community and whatever organization that arranges it.
You're actually clean af with it
Bro you killed it and made it look easy. Nice work g
