BJJ Belts. From White to Black.

Here are my belts from white to black. I also talk about meaning of each level/belt and my journey from White belt all the way to the Black Belt.

Love this guy I’ve just started my journey as a white belt I watch as many of these videos as I can and they are brilliant the enthusiasm is addictive to see and making your partners tap twice cracks me up

[@ChokesAndMore]

Much appreciated

I think that you are a shining example of what a true black belt is. You are constantly studying the art and most importantly you are infectiously passionate of the art. I think that's what really makes a black belt, sure if you can assassinate anyone on the mats that's cool, but to bring people in the fold and to share that passion to make everyone around them better is the mark of a true black belt. Champions come and go but an instructor that brings more into the art is the most important. Congratulations on your black belt, I wish you nothing but the best from here!

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thank you. I appreciate those words a lot. I love what I do. My passion is to share my passion.

Nunca se me hubiera ocurrido llegar a cinturón negro y tomar la postura de iniciar el ciclo nuevamente, soy Cinturón Marrón y me has dado un nuevo enfoque, muchas gracias por esta lección, de verdad!

3 years as a white and 3 years as Blue was kind common in 90’s and 2000 I don’t know when this change I think internet helps to short time here. However, I still think that 3 and 3 makes you more mature for next belt

[@benjamindelfs2718]

3 years a white belt is a fair while longer than normal, but you only needed one stripe on your purple to go to brown. White belt is where I am, and I don’t reckon I’ll get that far ahead personally. I do think it’s super fun and I love learning and training so If I stay white belt forever then that’s okay too.

[@bbolen3524]

That's an awesome attitude. Don't focus on the belts just go in and get better every time. As long as you're enjoying it and progressing the belts keep coming.

Okay just a few minutes in. Going to transfer this to my TV here in a min. Want to say so far solid shit man. Been off and on for about 10 years. Family issues, cancer, jobs but I'm back at it and it feels good. Found your videos and love your energy.

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thank you. Much appreciated. I feel you man! This is also a game of comebacks. Hope you will be back rolling soon. 💪🏼

Congratulations 🎉🎊

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thank you.

[@bbolen3524]

I love what you said about purple belt and feel like I can totally relate. I remember as a white and blue caring so much and feeling discouraged when I'd tap but now I'm just comfortable putting myself in bad scenarios or trying riskier moves that may put me in a bad position if I fail to execute. I just got to purple in December and have already noticed the mindset shift and really feeling confident in my game. It's taken me 10 years to get here as I'm from a small town and our highest ranked guy is brown now. We only had blues in our gym until about 6 years ago

[@ChokesAndMore]

👊🏼💥💯

[@themetkaf]

Just discovered your instagram, I'm 2 weeks into BJJ (1 year of judo), getting smashed but loving it. Great to see you're on YT. Susbcribed! Thanks for all the vids coach.

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thanks! Welcome to BJJ family. You will get used to get smashed. And in one day.. you start to smash others. Enjoy your journey.

[@sutherlandpetty]

Love your channel. Is there a guide of requirements for each belt (checklist) on paper ?

[@ChokesAndMore]

Hello! Thank you. I have my own "blue print" but it is personal journey. Depending your coach also. I teach solid foundation of basic techniques and when they work we start to add more personalized stuff.

[@sutherlandpetty]

@@ChokesAndMore ah ok cool beans

[@MichaelOrrUglyBassMike]

Congratulations. I have enjoyed for content for a while now, and I am looking forward to what you share with us going forward.

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thank you! Much appreciated. 🙏🏼🥷

[@DR-7h0m4s]

Hey, today I saw a 2y old video of yours where you had a gray belt. It made me curious if that was some academy specific thing, but in this video you didn't mention it, so I assume it isn't. Do you remember that video?

[@ChokesAndMore]

Hello! That belt is not gray. It was my purple belt but it is so washed up that it looks like a gray.

[@DR-7h0m4s]

@ChokesAndMore lol that is crazy! I love your content and energy, btw. Congrats on your black belt promotion!

[@Mr850man]

at what belt should I start injecting botox?

[@antwanali3484]

Congratulations 😂

[@ChokesAndMore]

Thank you 🥳
