As a new blue belt I find myself getting tapped by both white belts and higher ranks which can be frustrating at times. The best sessions I have is where I go in without any expectations and just try to have fun. Great video again Will!
Sounds like wisdom to me, my man. Keep up the great work. And thanks! 🤙🏼
Well said ! I’m 55 years old ! I’m a 4th stripe white belt and I love where I am at! I’m never pushing to get promoted or my stripes like you said ! I’m still working on my fundamentals and learning my defensive goals etc! I have no problem tapping out because tapping like you said exposes your holes ! I always ask questions amd better ways to solve it! Well said on your previous vlog! I train 2-3 days and I have 212 hour jobs ! So, when I go I focus on bjj etc! It’s fun and very humbling ! Keep it up amd I’m looking forward to your next video
Sounds like you’re on the right path! Keep up the solid work 💪🏼💪🏼
If someone continually loves and respects the Art, everything will take care of itself.
Love that 🙏🏻
Great advice both for BJJ and life in general. Being really bad at something that challenges you, takes you to failure, breaks you at times sounds undesirable on the face of it, but this is a feature, not a bug, a valuable experience that BJJ usually provides in a good, healthy environment allowing this level of risk taking.

Thanks my man. And very well said. It’s a difficult, but beautiful thing.
Great video - I’m a white belt and look at blue belts wanting that belt sooo badly but deep down I know I’ve got a lot to learn and be patient with my rolling and hopefully 🙏 it will come I’m one a one stripe white belt atm
Glad to hear you liked it. Just keep putting in the work and it’ll come. You’ll get there 🤙🏼
Thanks for all the awesome advice! I'm a white belt 4 months in and attend Ascendant Martial Arts in Regina, SK. Our gym loves having seminars, you should reach out!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. If I’m ever out that way, I’ll definitely reach out. Thank you!
As a 38 yo family man with a FT job, I totally relate to everything you said in this video. One thing in particular, one week I get subs, the next I'm wrecked and gassed. Also the comment about expectations in your personal relationships.
I’m happy to help, my friend. I’m glad you found value here.
Your humility is great, and it will lead me far. Thank you, coach oss
That means a lot to me. I appreciate you 🤙🏼
Six months in i just rolled my first no gi. Wtf? In the sweat and nothing to grab on to? Brutal but something tells me the sooner one starts NG the better you’ll be in Gi. Vancouver but soon to be on the road stopping at various gyms enroute to Texas 🌱
Love that. Yea, nogi will definitely help improve you overall. Enjoy the journey and safe travels 🤙🏼🌱
Amazing, thank you for your encouragement and advise.
Anytime 🤝
a huge thank you! for your work, that is very motivating! please keep doing that! Ooooss!
Glad to hear it! Thanks brother 🙏🏻
Thanks Will .your advice and videos are great
I appreciate that, brother 💪🏼
This is a brilliant video, thank you 💯
Glad you liked it. More on the way 🤙🏼
@@willbrooksofficialthat's great. I started BJJ about 3 months ago now and enjoying it. Just taking it as it comes, learning along the way and enjoying the process.
@@Steven-bp7ow you’re on the right path 🤙🏼
All facts brother 🤙🏼
Thanks bro 🤙🏼You know how to it
Love this channel ❤.
You just made my day with that 🤙🏼
luv your channel...could u do a day in life one time?
Thanks 🙏🏻 I did a morning routine vid a little while ago you make like. Go to my vids and scroll back if you’re interested. I can definitely do a day in the life vid too 🤙🏼
Don't just eat plants
Don’t be offended. Wasn’t meant to trigger anyone 🤙🏼
solid advice! i'm a 6 month white belt without a single stripe yet and i'm trying to enjoy the journey. goal setting vs. expectations is how i'll look at things from now on!
Glad to hear it! Stay with that mindset and I’m sure you’ll do great. Keep it up 👍🏼
Keep it up. I got two stripes within 7 and it’s a fun journey.
I started in 2021. It’s may 2024 now. I just got my second stripe as white belt. I took about a year off in there. But I’ve been consistent for 8 months.
I needed to see this video. I have been training for 2 years and 5 months now and last month we had a graduation at my gym. I thought I was going to get my blue belt and when I didn’t it really crushed me! But that disappointment has made me work harder. Seeing this video made me realize that I enjoy being on the mat and all a belt does is keep my gi closed. At the end of the day earning a blue belt is not going to magically make me better. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey and be better than the day before.
Beautifully said, my friend. I’d rather be a tough white belt over a soft blue belt any day. Keep up the solid work. That mindset will help you see great success.
i'm 34. been training 2 years. got my blue belt after 1.5 years. had no grappling or martial arts experience starting off. had no expectations going in. have had to raise the bar in every aspect of life to even tread water.... dont care what belt i get to, just want to see what it feels like to swim - lol.
Excellent work! Just keep acquiring skills and the belt will take care of itself. Keep up the good work
3 stripe white belt here after my first year at the age of 47. Loving this sport and the constant learning.
If you’re ever in El Paso, Grind Underground Jiu Jitsu is the spot!
Keep up the great work! I'll definitely swing by if I'm out that way
Good stuff. Im a four stripe blue belt and I stopped worrying about stripes and getting smashed by these younger people when I got my second stripe. Instead I'm there for the journey and knowing that other 57 year old women are not on the mat like I am and I feel great after every class. I am slowing down a bit so I have to start incorporating cardio and strength. Just another goal I have to add but all for the best. My son and I are out at Legacy Pasadena in Pasadena California. Keep the good stuff and realness coming. OSS
Love that. Sounds like you’re
on the track. Keep up the good work 🤙🏼 I definitely have more on the way. If I end up out in Pasadena, I’ll definitely stop by
Wonderful video as always. Thank you for sharing. I wish you the best😊
Thanks my man. I appreciate you. More on the way 💪🏼
I'm 6 months in as a white belt in Liverpool, UK, and I'm really finding your content useful, motivational, and thoughtful. This video really struck a a chord for me and helped articulate some of the good mindsets I'm trying to cultivate for my jiu jitsu. Thank you Will.
I’m very happy to help 🤝
Solid advice as always. In the path to martial arts you have to remember it's not a stopping point when it gets hard.... you're just pressing pause until you adapt.🙏 Solid content Will.
Much appreciated, brother. Nothing wrong with taking a good pause when necessary. I appreciate the comment. Train well, my friend
Needed this, I train Muay Thai,and bjj is a whole complex and I'm still new with it.
Happy to help, brother. Keep up the good work and make it as fun as possible. You will see great success.
Muay Thai is definitely easier to learn then BJJ.
@@JEFFMAN90 yes, but it's physically demands are higher.
Awesome content!!! I've had to learn this a few weeks ago among other things. I've learned to focus acquiring a skill set escapes and defense. Trying to get ahead start on offense but my main focus is on the defense. To me it's better to have skills rather than a belt. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences
Excellent mindset, brother! That will take you far. Keep it up 👍🏼
@willbrooksofficial thanks for the encouragement and keep the videos going they are real help.
@@johndaileytraditionalarcher always 💪🏼 I got your back
I’ve done two entire lessons and still don’t have my blue belt 😭
Haha it’ll take some time
always watching the good advices of will🤘
Thank you, my friend 🙏🏻 I appreciate you
New sub here! Thank you for all your words of wisdom. I signed up in March and was nervous, insecure and scared to show up and felt like I was holding back the more experienced athletes from training. I’m female and 245 lbs. I stuck with Muay Thai at the academy so that I wouldn’t feel like I was wasting my membership. I have recently started to go to BJJ classes and am in love with the art. I do gas out quite quickly but love the community involvement because everyone including all the professors are beyond supportive and inclusive. I cannot do quite a few movements but have noticed improvements. I really do appreciate your videos and encouragement to continue on. Thank you again for your support!
Thanks for being here! Enjoy the journey. You have many successes ahead of you. Keep up the great work! I’m glad to hear you’re liking my content🤙🏼
White belt here, just had a rough week at the gym. I needed to hear this, Thank you!
You were the one of the big factors I started doing jiu jitsu it’s been 2 months and I’m enjoying it every single season well at the beginning I had one or two terrible weeks because as you said high expectations but now I’m getting better and the first terrible time I was so frustrated that I was thinking about quit but listened to you some other guys helped me to overcome so thanks for your advice you are doing a great job thank you brother
Great work, brother. Those high expectations can be tough, but it sounds like you’re on the right track now. Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Good work Will! Been watching these for a while now and it’s helped heaps, been focusing on improving attributes. Got my blue last month, the grind is real but enjoying the journey. Keep ‘em coming please 🙏🏻
I really appreciate the feedback. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well with your journey. Keep it up. I’ve got more on the way, my friend 🤙🏼
Good stuff as always. At 55 i have learned over the past 2 years of consistent training to have realistic goals and expectations of what i can and cannot do. My main goals have been to enjoy the training, train hard but smart and make recovery an important component. I only compare myself to me. I think more people should do the same as this can keep one training and having fun for years to come.
That’s true wisdom right there. Sounds like you have it figured out. Keep it up 🤙🏼
Some people just need to accept that you may just be average at bjj, and thats okay .
Just keep showing up to the gym and enjoy the process and remember that you do bjj because of the love you have for it.
Totally agree. Learn to have fun with it and it won’t matter what your skill level is. Well said
I submit shitty brown belts and I get subbed by good white belts.. don’t care I still come to class lol
Im new to jiujitsu and every train i get submitted around 50 times but somehow i love it. Yes, its frustrating but every roll i do i learn something new and thats why im on it . Good Video!
Such a good mindset 🤙🏼
Just had my 2nd session today. Eventually I’m hoping to compete, but I have a LOT to learn 💪
Nice!! Yea, take it slow and jump in after a few stripes. That’s the beauty of jiu jitsu…we all have a lot to learn 🤙🏼 keep up the good work!
I train at Lineage BJJ, in California, MD. There are two sister gyms to this which are called Watershed and Calvert MMA. To my knowledge Lineage and Calvert are under Relson Gracie. Though I’ve never been to the sister gyms, I’ve been going consistently for nearly 5 months now and am a two stripe white belt. I taught myself how to hip hop dance so moves come quicker than most. I really think Lineage has been a great place for me to get to know good people and learn this fine art. I can’t wait to keep going. My goal is blue in under a year. Idc if I reach it, but I’m aiming for that.
Keep up the good work. Sounds like you’re working hard and enjoying. That’s a great combo
Will, thank you! You always deliver exactly what I need when I need it... You rock!! Thank you 🙏❤️🔥💪 love your content!
I got your back, Jen! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I’m a 4 tip white belt. 51yrs old. Training 1.5 years. I’m obsessed w Wristlocks. Should I feel guilty? It’s not the only thing I do but it’s what I enjoy. When I get caught w Wristlock, I laugh like a sadistic pOS.. I’ve been in wristlocking frenzies w classroom sickos. Is this wrong??
Nah, it’s not wrong. Wrist locks work. Just don’t go crazy hard on them haha. I say enjoy the wrist lock 🤙🏼🤝
Thank you not only for the advice but the motivation
I train At Black Samurai team Suriname Paramaribo in the building of First class boxing have a blessed and good Jui-Jitsu journey Friend #Never give up 💯🔥🔥🔥
I’m happy to help. You nailed it 🎯🤝
I love this mental side of the game, and Will you explain it so well.
There is a 100% parallel in - of all things - golf. The top performers in golf are paid to do it, they do it all the time, and they have unreal talent. But even so, what we see on TV isn't "real." Pros miss 5 foot putts more often than most people think. They miss greens, they three putt, they even double bogey from time to time. Pro golfers only bring their A-game to the course a few times a year at best, usually they are playing B or C game. Why would be compare ourselves to what little we see of top pros on tv, and set an expectation of ourselves based on that false reality?
The difference is that these pros 1) expect that they won't have their A-game all the time and 2) have the mental toughness and control of their ego to keep grinding, in control, within the game that they brought that week, that day, or even that hole.
And all of these lessons apply to daily life. At work, in personal life, otherwise.. having that toughness and self control, that stoic mindset, to accept what is reality both external and internal, to see the moment for what it is, and apply a reasoned best effort to solve the problem that's in front of you. This is the way.
Very wise words here, my friend 🙏🏻
an inverted view of this really popular topic..... bravo. oss.
Happy to hear you liked it 🤙🏼
I know ppl wont believe me but as a WB I gave up on chasing the belt and stripes and jus have fun. I figured the more I am on the mats working and getting better the belts will come
@@stevecruz779 love that. Acquire the skills and the belts will come.
im starting BJJ at 43. I accept that im old, fat and not flexible. I dont ever want my blue belt. I dont want the pressure of getting there, or the pressure of having it. I know I only have a little while before I have a career ending injury. all I want is to learn and lose less. I finally went an entire class without getting submitted. Honestly, that made me feel great. I feel like i have a year to go before i get a sub.
Keep up the good work! That’s solid progress right there 👍🏼
Thank you for the video, not only is this solid advice for bjj but also for life, I try not to best myself up when things get difficult, but not always successful. White belt on the mats and in life as well, it's okay to fail
Thank you and well said 🤝
Thanks Will! Recently started training BJJ. Going to save this video so I can watch it every few months to remind myself this is like a marathon not a sprint
You’re very welcome, brother. Sounds like a plan. Happy training 🤙🏼
I just started a week ago and this vid helped me more than anything I’m excited to have my jujitsu journey the right way
@@sniper_elite_v521 happy to help 🤝

If you don’t go to promotion days you can always just be a no stripe white belt like me
Hahaha 😂
Awesome advice, congrats 👏🏼🎉
Thank you. Much appreciated 🤝
Excellent video, even though I'll never get a belt cus I only can train no Gi,the message is the same,Thanks 🤙

I’ve accepted that I am pretty useless at Bjj, been trying to figure it out for awhile now. White belt no stripes, likely will stay that way. Doing it for the fitness now and likely looking at quitting this year. Had my moments of enjoying it though and some of the people are good.
Always give yourself another month. You had a bad month? Give it one more before you quit. You had a month filled with confusion? Give it one more month before you quit. Even if you are a slow learner, with time you will grow. Don’t look at the results you aren’t getting right now. Think of the results that you will get in the future. Trust me on this. We all go through it at different paces. Stay the course and don’t quit.
Just feels that when I finally start to get some progress I get shut down by colour belts who don’t give me an inch and practice the moves in the fundamentals class. Then with other white belts they’re either so much stronger and fitter that they muscle out of everything and the whole round is me just trying to survive.
@@benjamindelfs2718 don’t worry. This is more common than you think. Keep going and you’ll grow past it 🤙🏼
Thanks will, I was very close to quitting this morning and calling into my academy. But I’ve been looking around and I think I need to go elsewhere that offers more basic classes.
@@benjamindelfs2718 you’re very welcome. Nothing wrong with finding something that better caters to you. If you stick with bjj, I’m certain it will reward you greatly in time. Keep up the good work.
Recently started my journey into jiu jitsu. I have being struggling with expectations and ego for a while without realising it.
A massive thank you for helping me see that and focus on the here and now! God bless
I’m happy to help and I’m glad you found value here. Keep up the good work.
Great advice
Glad you liked it, Mike. I have more in the way 🤙🏼
I have had this video on replay for two days now when I’m doing things: you have helped me understand that this is not implemented only in JJ, but in life.
I have been training for a year now and felt like I hit a plateau coupled with things that are going on in my romantic and personal life, I feel like a train hit me and I don’t know how to react.
Thank you for your guidance, set goals, not expectations
Happy to hear it’s been helping, brother. Keep up the good work. You got this
As a 46 year old 2 stripe white belt ...Im just enjoying the journey and process. Forget about belts and stripes ... I'm more focused on defense and positioning.
Wisely said!
I love your content brother 💯! I just started BJJ two weeks and I love absolutely everything about it. If you’re ever in Atlanta I roll at Independent MMA & Fitness
Happy to help 🤙🏼 I appreciate you bro. I’ll definitely keep that in mind 🙏🏻
I love ur message. It has a lot of value in my Jiu Jitsu path. 🙏 Thank you for sharing ur wisdom. I’m so grateful & am now subscribed to ur channel.
Appreciate that, my friend. Welcome aboard. More on the way.
I really enjoyed this video. This is a conceptual subject in martial arts that isn’t discussed frequently. You touched on some extremely deep philosophical concepts that could be analyzed for a lifetime without reaching full understanding. Thank you for making this video.
Wow, love this comment. Thank you for this.
Great advice sir. Just got my first stripe on my white, turned a shitty day into the best day into a long time. Everything you said was true! Oh and I train in Tucson AZ at Undisputed, whole lot of really cool guys, great atmosphere. Come by for some muay thai and some bjj rolls, would be an honor to chat and get tapped out by you lmao
Congratulations on your first stripe! That’s a big deal! There are so many rewarding moments in bjj and you’re getting to experience that. Well done. If I’m ever in the area, I’ll definitely stop by for some good training. Thanks brother 🙏🏻
Good stuff! I read somewhere that JT Torres started out just training twice a week while working at McDonald's due to life demands! I have been a consistent twice a week guy (nothing like Torres other than that!) and have found it useful to be mindful and present with the limited mat time I have. There are guys who have started after me and passed me up but that's their journey. I am better than I was the before I started training and significantly better than the folks who quit or didn't even try!
That’s the exact right mindset right there! Very wise words, my friend. Thank you for sharing that 🙏🏻
I'm 71 and 5 months in. I train 2-3 x a week so it's gonna be a few years to get a blue belt if ever. I'm learning & having fun.
You’re setting a great example. I get asked alllll the time of 40 or 50 is too old to start. We have a 70 year old white belt and he’s doing great. Solid work, sir 💪🏼
Great knowledge, thanks very much. Realistic stuff 🙏
Happy to help! More on the way 🤙🏼
Eat plants - Really?
You watched the entire video and that’s what triggered you? 😂🤦🏻♂️
It just surprised me
All I caught was the heel hook in the gi 😂 & that cross ashi entrance lol sick vid man.
Hahahaha I was waiting for someone to point out that gi heel hook 😂😂 thanks man 🤙🏼
Good advice for many aspects of life! So proud of you my son! ❤
Thanks mom! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you ! This was just what I needed to hear !
Happy to help 💪🏼
Well said thank you bro!
Anytime brother 🙏🏻
I havent even trained a year and people are talking about me getting my blue belt soon, I must be the only person who has done bjj that is dreading getting their blue belt so soon 😅
Haha I get it. I’ve felt that way about my brown belt 😂 I think it’s good that you feel that way tho. Better than bugging your coach to give you a blue belt lol
@@willbrooksofficial I would never! The less people expect out of me, the less awkward it is to fail 😂
@@alexrosario423 hahaha
I know a BJJ white belt whose skill set level is that of a high level purple belt. Reason why he isn't purple or brown ? He meets with insecure instructors who are afraid to belt people, period. One of the most unlucky students I know.
Very sad. Sounds like he needs a new gym
