@@jakecruz7968 in my experience, someone who calls themselves a "recreational (belt)" typically doesn't compete, they train mostly because they just enjoy the sport and want to continue practicing it
That’s an awesome atmosphere in the gym for the tournament. Imagine signing up to your first white belt tournament and facing one of those beasts. Keep up the the good work
I dunno if its just me but ive never felt such a strong urge to clap and cheer especially in the final match. The skill and technique of these killers had me on the edge of my seat the whole time fr
Where I train with Jon Thomas, in Gothenburg, we have white belts at 2 years experience. So there’s a big skill difference between beginner class and ours.
@C0d0ps u can be white belt for 2 years ???? What are they like not that good or how long does it usually take to get out of white belt?actually asking not trying talk shiii I am barely getting in the sport and thought u could get out of white belt in a good year or year and a half max 🤔
@@cesaraugusto369 In most schools they do 1-3 years. I think our bjj class is around 2 years maybe less. We don’t actually have someone that grades us in no gi. - So I assume if I win white belt competitions someone can complain that I’m not a white belt and they promote me. - TLDR normal time is around 2 years. My school is not normal because I don’t train in a gi.
@RS-kq9rr I think you’re a purple belt but yeah you’re right. Close to brown belt, I only train no gi. - I compete in submission wrestling, I’ve learned straight ankle locks, knee bar, toe holds, currently learning heel hooks. - In ibjjf I can only do ankle locks but we have some tournaments under adcc rules that allows me kneebars. - I’m mainly training for mma and self defense. So double sleeve and spider guard or berimbolo doesn’t help me.
@@cesaraugusto369It is possible to get your blue after just a year if you train consistanly (3-4x) a week or if you already have previous martial arts experience like submission wrestling, mma which will make jiu jujitsu easier to learn. Regardless though most people don't get their blue belt until at least 2 yrs. of training. I have MMA training of 9 years , currenty doing jujitsu similar to submission wrestling in some ways but also alot off differences and always learning something new. I have been doing BJJ only 1 month now.
Massive shout out to Robbie and all the guys at the Jungle Academy, Robbie is in the jungle 7 days a week whilst working a full time job, travels the uk every other weekend cornering the boys wherever they go, had the pleasure of training with these boys a bit and the talent coming out of this club is unbelievable, congratulations everybody involved.
Insane day. Pleasure to be invited down from Scotland with my team. Couldnt find a more welcoming team to train, roll and have some rounds with. Cals boys are all killers. Thoroughly deserved promotions. Team to watch for sure. Fitting for young max to get his blue at the end, lad is a serious talent.
This was great to watch. I don't have many white belts in my gym to gauge against, so this shows me how much more progression I still need. These guy's are all very good white belts.
BJJ has changed so much since I started. These guys roll better than old school purple/brown belts in some ways. I have no doubt that they have plenty to learn and will improve greatly, and that maybe some of their fundamentals aren’t all the way there, but as far as overall grappling ability, they are very impressive.
im about to go to rehab and im overweight, bjj have really peaked my interest! it's my dream to roll like these guys one day! i wish all the athletes and coaches from this great video all the best. im gonna go after it !
A high level of white belts who have quite clear ideas about what to do despite the experience. It was also very nice to see how controlled the boys were during the whippings. Congratulations to all those promoted. Great video!
love seeing some super clean leg attacks by white belts. always a little scary when you start teaching new guys moves that could end careers, but they all had really great control.
If you ask me I would of thought these dudes were blue belts already fighting for purple belt, they be leg locking and ankle cranking at white belt level is insane and their flow of counters! Very advanced white belts fosho
our discipline is tkd and we did the same thing but it was to be on the team for the intl tournament with teams coming from overseas also. very competitive and just awesome.
I actually think they are once I realized this footage is sped up in quite a bit of places. That being said, everyone in this video could drop into any gym in the US and beat up all kinds of whites and blues w/ ease.@@benjamindelfs2718
Most of the lads in that comp had trained less than a year including my self. I've trained at exile since it open 10 month ago. Cal is just a world class coach
i havnt been a gym yet (for BJJ) yet been looking into it for a while. After seeing this it only makes me want to go now. Not sure how long these guys have been practicing but these are some damn good white belts
Great vid ! Good concept , you gained a subscriber from France! BTW what is the name of the beat used for the first round fights ?? I've searched it since a loooooong time 🤣🤣
Some school are more competition focused and intentionally or unintentionally tionally sandbag. In my 9 years of jiu jitsu (brown belt) I’d say a lot of these kids are blue/purple
Am I missing something? For their first promotion, out of several, they are only recognized for their skill if they win this tournament? So they could be a "white belt" competing in tournaments for years and years?
@AmirianoAvenicci most of these guys had trained less then a year at this point. The gym this is at (exile) has only been open 1 year this week. Max who got his blue belt in this video has only been training a year
As a 40 year old recreational black belt, those are some well trained white belts.. great competitive environment to produce winners
Respect to the humble self title. I am a 50 year old recreational purple belt who hopes to one day be a recreational black belt.
42 year old brown belt here. Agree with the above. Very good! 👏🏼
Im super knew to jujitsu will you inform me as to what a recreational belt is ive heard that term used a few times
@@jakecruz7968 in my experience, someone who calls themselves a "recreational (belt)" typically doesn't compete, they train mostly because they just enjoy the sport and want to continue practicing it
@@EddieAskrenYup. And we (cuz I’m a 45 year old recreational brown belt) have full time jobs and families too, generally.

Kudos to whomever edited this video. Top notch. Awesome matches with impressive skills! Subbed

I came for my favorite style of competition, really bad and spazzy white belts, and was disappointed!
These guys are all at a great level, congrats!
lol same
Amazed at the patience, composure. Fantastic work
Very decent white belts! I did wince a little bit as people were tapping late to some of the kimuras, but you've got to respect the commitment.
When you’re still a white belt your limbs are more flexible 😂

Great to see the work your team are putting in 🔥 the boys are killing it!
These boys’ grappling IQ is solid. It’s cool watching missed opportunities turn into something completely different at this level. Well done!!
Those have to be the best group of white belts I've ever seen .

Yeah those guys lack of takedowns.
Because this is not jiujitsu is grappling and lacks so many techniques that we have in jiujitsu in Brazil with the gi. It is totally diferent
good stuff! really nice to see the white bells roll.. so much composure and dedication... just inspiring! keep it up🔥
I was gonna ask why the winner didn’t get it. But read your reply to someone else. That was super fun to watch!
im about to go to rehab and im overweight, bjj have really peaked my interest! it's my dream to roll like these guys one day! i wish all the athletes and coaches from this great video all the best. im gonna go after it !
Go for it brother. Not going to regret it.
i will bro
just for future reference, it's "pique" for interest.
don't wait until you're healthy. Start now! Jiujitsu will get you healthy!

What gym is this even all the whitebelts looks strong and athletic
Really entertaining and well made vid. Props to all the guys that competed.
Props to the camera guy, some of the best footage ive seen!
Man these guys roll hard I love it!!! Much love all the way from New Zealand. Subscribed this my new fav channel 🙏🏻
watching this has me so pumped to go train
The 🔥 is lit in this gym.
Very entertaining vid
Young bodies moving fast, hope they last and enjoy the art for a lifetime
lol aint gonna last 5-10 years doing that
You guys definitely ain’t raising softies, everyone was so down to go. Great to see
What a beautiful atmosphere and very good competitors.
Congratulations by the level of your boys and by the tournament.🔥
Thanks for sharing with us.
awesome to see all the lads getting after it with some great spirited matches.
So good to see!
Congrats on the promotions 🤙
Great video all those white belts are weapons already
A high level of white belts who have quite clear ideas about what to do despite the experience. It was also very nice to see how controlled the boys were during the whippings. Congratulations to all those promoted. Great video!
Drew and war machine: the arm bar set up from the clinch was amazing. I’m impressed.
These are some damn good white belts and well deserved blue belts. Amazing.
i love the idea of the tournament for the belt, and they got really good level awesome
Amazing video.
I hope to be as good as some of these absolute beasts in the future.
Buzzin looking atmosphere in the gym as well.
These guys are wailing on Kimura and Americanas holy shit
😂😂
This was sick!!! 🫡🫡🫡
I thought the champ was meant to get the blue belt? 😂
Champ was from my friends gym so I couldn’t grade him, there was a few promotions that day :)
@@ChinSpinChats oh, glad to hear that... didn't get it at first lol
@@ChinSpinChats checks out, was a good watch man
Me too bro
@@ChinSpinChats Why have people compete who weren't eligible? The entire premise was flawed.
As a black belt... those are some well deserved blue belts! Nice video production too! Keep up the good work.
Massively appreciated mate thanks very much ❤️
Thank you! 🙏
All of these guys are so slick I wouldn't believe they're white belts.
killers man!
They move well and know what they are doing most of the time, but they are obviously white belts.
Christ these dudes are good for being white belts! awesome video.

Absolutely dope concept

Great . Even greater on Gi , if talking Jiu Jitsu 🥋
Yo that's some good white belts. Nice job

They’re definitely not white belts.

@@benjamindelfs2718 They absolutely are. Decent well trained white belts, but is apparent their inexperience and lots of silly mistakes.

The Ultimate Spazz Tournament!
Great Content!
Very little spazz for a tournament for white belts only.
Great vid ! Good concept , you gained a subscriber from France! BTW what is the name of the beat used for the first round fights ??
I've searched it since a loooooong time 🤣🤣
That was awesome
Need another one of these vids or at least an update this was sick
Mo Jassim boutta start having white belt opens as the main event after watching this
Sick video lads
Those nicknames are quality 😂
P Diddy defo changed his nickname recently lmao
more entertaining than high level honestly
A good portion of these guys transition better than some purples ive known.
Nice that’s how promotions should be
I'm glad these boys are in the gym.
This is awesome!!
Our gym has this tomorrow. Only 8 man tournament
Felt for Drew getting smashed in the Round Robin so quickly both times. Suppose that’s what you get for wearing Tatami in Progress vid like 😂
That's exactly what you get 😂
Great fights awesome
Proper Bob Marley on the wall 🔥love reggae and jits
As a Purple belt, these are some killers. 🤙🏾🔥
Could they give you trouble? Or even tap you?
young max is such a beast
Kid that played bottom in the final was levels above
Very solid grapplers. However having a belt as a tournament price is a disgrace
I mean it's not like they don't have the skills. Plus at least it's merit based, some gyms do attendance based promotions which is waaaaay worse.
Some school are more competition focused and intentionally or unintentionally tionally sandbag. In my 9 years of jiu jitsu (brown belt) I’d say a lot of these kids are blue/purple
Awesome stuff. Great community you have there! Keep building up those young guys man!
the gym nicknames are HILARIOUS
No way these guys are white belts wtf?! These guys are better than half the purples at my gym. Insane
This was a fun video to watch. Tired of the same old content so this is a nice change up
Blue belt here, I would not want to vs those white belts lmao. Super good!
Am I missing something? For their first promotion, out of several, they are only recognized for their skill if they win this tournament? So they could be a "white belt" competing in tournaments for years and years?
It's for da clickz man. (and the tournament style experience)
Hence why a lot of these white belts in this vid are probably sandbaggers.
@AmirianoAvenicci most of these guys had trained less then a year at this point. The gym this is at (exile) has only been open 1 year this week.
Max who got his blue belt in this video has only been training a year
As a mid purple I would say loudly "What a beasty CREW!!"...great talent
I want that rashguard with golden ape on the back. Do they Sell it? Cant find it on the Website…
White belts are actually so fun to watch compete
This video has me looking at my purple belt and wondering if I really deserve it lol.
The ultimate struggle cuddle comp
