But its all good because someone learned something, yeah they got a first hand lesson in ninjitsu, or worse..

Do it! I just got back to the mat after 10 months. At first, I was beating myself up for not practicing since I saw peers on social media going up in belt rank and then I got imposter syndrome but I missed. This is also Ego ps my ego was bruised and did not want to go back. I had to learn if don't drill and practice it won't come back and I didn't want to fall too far behind.

[@soccer24six]

Props to the dude at 5:32 for complimenting the “white belt” at the cost of his own ego - takes a certain maturity to do that without making excuses Separately: It’s neat how you can “feel” that a person is experienced or skilled within seconds of a role… I know “game recognizes game” in all sports but it’s an extra cool experience in BJJ because it’s happening to ur body, as opposed to just being observed: 8:24

[@mht4908]

Nice to see how everyone was very humble around you despite maybe being a bit surprised at how skillful the "white belt" is. I'm a blue belt myself, and I'm super fortunate to train in an academy where the head coach always creates such a positive learning environment. Despite that, I've seen my fair share of high ranking white belts or blue belts who let their ego get the best of them. One white belt actually hyperextended the new guy's arm out of frustration that the new guy was able to deflect all his previous submissions attempts From what I gathered in my years of training (nothing compared to the black belts of course), yes you can have better technique and more experience, but that doesn't guarantee that you'll be dominant during a fight. Even without any martial arts experience, the new guy can be good based on a naturally fast reaction time, being a fast learner, physically taller and heavier etc. In addition to partnering with higher ranking belts to learn technical skills better, I also found it really helpful to work with the white belts that give me a hard time, because I can work on my weaknesses and solidify my knowledge by teaching them stuff. And just a bonus, try to use an advantage you have that most of your teammates can't do (mine is doing the oversplits), it may help you out during a crucial point of the fight Basically, no matter what rank you're in right now, stay humble and be open to learning from anyone. When a lower ranking belt gives you a hard time, instead of getting angry, take it as an opportunity to better your skills. Who knows, you might learn something from the new guy in terms of fighting strategies

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

Good point and so true. Many ppl avoid training with white belt or just dont take it seriously. And if somethong goes wrong, its always the fault of the white belt! I learned things i ONLY could learn with beginners, that is, to really adapt to "mistakes" the beginner makes, and suddenly, magic magic, once tuned into the beginners mind, a great practise. Dont patronize beginners, or try to "teach" them, just learnfrom their beginners mind and attitude.

[@mht4908]

@@JustMe-vz3wd Exactly, I really like rolling with white belts that are much taller and heavier than me, because I know in the real world, people don't play by the rules in street fights. Combat wise, I find that they can attack/defend with an outside of the box method, so sometimes I can end up learning something from them that I may never encounter from seasoned BJJ veterans

[@RedSplinter36]

It's crazy how it's just the "feeling" the adjustment and movement... sensitivity and flow... one day hopefully for myself I can get there. Just keep rolling and learning! Love it!!!

Yeah, it obviously depends on the place (there are some very mean parts of the BJJ community) but they are mostly like this when practicing and rolling. And have in mind that i'm someone that kind of dislikes BJJ lol, i have been practicing Judo since i was 4 years and i did have issues with the BJJ people but i can totally recomend it anyways
