22 BJJ WHITE BELTS FIGHT FOR A BLUE BELT

[@FunnyOstrich]

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

Nah

[@HerculesLoyd]

Yeah I was gonna say a lot of them definitely seemed blue belt level

As a 40 year old recreational black belt, those are some well trained white belts.. great competitive environment to produce winners

[@anon3673]

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.

[@cptseagull]

42 year old brown belt here. Agree with the above. Very good! 👏🏼

[@jakecruz7968]

Im super knew to jujitsu will you inform me as to what a recreational belt is ive heard that term used a few times

[@EddieAskren]

@@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

[@UnskilledGrappler]

@@EddieAskrenYup. And we (cuz I’m a 45 year old recreational brown belt) have full time jobs and families too, generally.

[@chrisdudedurian1305]

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

[@mikegoodwin5951]

Did they give the winner a blue belt???? Just young max got a blue belt

[@elpiberats]

I am a white belt, 5 months in, and their level is insane! Man, hope I can get close enough to the level of these guys. Respect!

[@C0d0ps]

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.

[@cesaraugusto369]

​@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 🤔

[@C0d0ps]

@@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.

[@C0d0ps]

@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.

[@Asoka-eb8ru]

​@@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.

[@michaeltierney1]

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.

[@JohnWhiteley]

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

[@SD-ym1rt]

That arm bar by Young Max was savage

[@progressjiujitsu]

Young Max smashed it! 🔥

[@Souljacker7]

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!

[@joshualeventhal]

Amazed at the patience, composure. Fantastic work

[@intent7705]

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.

[@matthewallen7632]

When you’re still a white belt your limbs are more flexible 😂

[@rmc6492]

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.

[@progressjiujitsu]

Great to see the work your team are putting in 🔥 the boys are killing it!

[@theinbetweenisours]

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.

[@justprentice]

These boys’ grappling IQ is solid. It’s cool watching missed opportunities turn into something completely different at this level. Well done!!

[@mcdonnellbobcat]

Those have to be the best group of white belts I've ever seen .

[@UnskilledGrappler]

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.

[@m5a1stuart83]

Yeah those guys lack of takedowns.

[@locobass]

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

[@AK41]

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

[@SoCOREris5]

Its called sandbagging.

[@mikegoodwin5951]

@@SoCOREris5 Okay good. Cause it made me feel like Im shit and have a long way to go before blue

Drew and war machine: the arm bar set up from the clinch was amazing. I’m impressed.

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!

[@jaircastanon1626]

Kid that played bottom in the final was levels above

[@andrewbrown6512]

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?

[@kennyb123]

It's for da clickz man. (and the tournament style experience)

[@Carahloporra]

Hence why a lot of these white belts in this vid are probably sandbaggers.

[@novasaloon1984]

​@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
