As a blue belt, these are some very good white belts ☑️

[@progressjiujitsu]

🙌🙌

[@humanityenslaved3380]

Being a blue belt means you're just a very good white belt lol. Blue belt here as well.

[@Unclebubba1]

Agree!

[@Souljacker7]

As a black belt, I also think they are great white belts.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@RS-kq9rr]

​@C0d0ps Gi sucks No Gi is where the fun is I wasted 8 years on no Gi... I am Still a white belt on the Gi since I don't train with a Gi If I had to do things differently, I would have done both. Maybe I would be purple or brown by now

[@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.

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.

watching this has me so pumped to go train

[@justprentice]

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

[@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
