First White Belt Jiu Jitsu Tournament

[@craigchkw]

Just seeing this now, I'm the 2nd guy. Jumped into this comp after 7 weeks of training, it's funny looking back now, genuinely had no clue what I was doing. Thanks again for the roll

[@6flags545]

Does your lifting strength carry over well to grappling?

[@craigchkw]

@@6flags545 absolutely. As much as people will tell you it doesn't, it really does. It will become less relevant as I progress through the belts but at a white belt level strength is such a big advantage in my opinion. The key is to not rely on it and focus on technique but if you can combine the 2 then youre giving yourself a big advantage.

[@jt.anthony]

We'll have to hit round 2 sometime soon

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

@@6flags545 it doesn't. Core strength , and spinal health, for fighting, can't be built any other way than doing all kinds of wild dynamic movements . Lifting Gyms don't do that.

[@coltonkimmy1141]

@@sasquatchrosefartsit 100% does.

[@seiko889]

Honestly as someone who has never participated in BJJ just by watching your video alone has inspired me to take on the sport.

[@jt.anthony]

Awesome. Try to stick with it!

Insane!! That last match was intense, had me on the edge of my seat. Congrats on the W mate 🥇

[@jt.anthony]

Appreciate it Lars!

Ha! Mee too. Just finshed saying that then looked down at the other comments!

Awesome ! Respect to you brother, been going at it for almost a year and lost my two first tournaments. But there ain’t no stopping me God willing !

Great performance! I’m new to jujitsu and look forward to my first tournament. Very motivating young man.

[@jt.anthony]

Thanks Marcos - I say just go for it!

[@vincewyntermusicnt]

I’m a white belt with first strip. I’m 36. But I have a good time in classes man. Should I try out for tournaments. I’m pretty confident in No Gi style.

[@TAD99624]

@@vincewyntermusicnt I think you should try at least one tournament! The one I did I was able to sign up for gi and no-gi and it was a blast! I didn’t win all my matches but it was still a great experience and I learned a lot of things I need to work on. Just another day on the mats! Good luck 👍

[@poddylogo]

As a former wrestler looking into BJJ the ending note you made really struck. The moment I stopped being fearful I received 2nd place in a wrestling tournament and beat someone who was 12-0.

[@limbandtreeremoval]

Great to see, and LOVE the humbleness (humility)... Seems im fighting myself, mentally and physically... im New white belt

[@jt.anthony]

Thank you. Make sure you keep at it!

[@brianhalvorsen5356]

great point retention, not letting him settle into mount and going to your knees is great

[@TravWhiteStyle]

I'm a white belt right now. Love watching someone at this level compete, thank you & congrats!

[@Vizceral]

I love your coach's reaction to the other side saying "Fuck him up". He's a real one

[@littledudefromtexas]

12:45 too dang funny

[@WhatsMyNameAgain93]

He said "buck him off" (like a horse) because his guy was turtled under JT

[@matiasortiz8271]

damn, what a performance dude, I'm thinking to compete (my first competition) and you inspire me to train harder. Congratulations mate🤝🥋

[@jt.anthony]

Appreciate that!!

[@toolate6971]

Learning is the most important outcome of the tournament. White belts need to learn, and this is a great way to develop skills quickly. I am sure he will work on his ability to take the back when the oppurtunity presents itself in the future.

[@LivinginAtlanta]

I just started BJJ a few months back and it's quickly become my obsession. Thank you for this video bc I want to compete eventually and this video just confirmed my desire and goal. Thanks brother! Keep training!

Solid solid performance especially for 2 months training in gi.

Hi brother, I genuinely enjoyed the content. I'm similar, new white belt. I also fight around 190 lb. I've had 3 competitions so far. Would have loved to hear more about you. You're obviously an athletic young man with a good penchant for foot sweeps. Your first competitor seemed very well matched, the man actually seemed to know a bit more jitsu than you but he had trouble capitalizing on his sweeps. Great matches overall. And great gas tank.

[@jt.anthony]

Thank you!

Wow really well done, great performance after just 2 months of practise in the gi, 4 matches in the first competition is heavy.

[@RafidNassir]

Man this is excellent for your first competition. Great work! I would just say, don't rush the transition from side control to full mount. There's a lot you can do from side control, and you should only transition to the mount once you have a clear opportunity to do so.

[@JohnDoe-kv1gi]

really good job, one thing I would focus on is just settling; you got the initial takedown a lot, got to side control, but they got out and made you scramble, try to just sit in side control and breath for 5 seconds, it’ll help a lot.
