[@lukeruffo]

Thank you!

[@dustinlerch9272]

That guy shouldn’t be a blue belt….at all.

[@alexisvalderrama5131]

you're absolutely right

[@mikeummels3086]

Wow I counted 23 seconds. Was that a personal record? His defence from side control was non-existent though

[@lukeruffo]

It was quick not sure if it was a pr tho

[@Guywithair2]

One is moving like a purple the other is moving like a very new blue belt.

[@alanleaocs]

i would say very new white belt

[@bryantharris5914]

He moved like a big guy blue belt. A guy too big for most white belts, so he just needs to roll at blue, but he's not super strong technique wise.

[@alanleaocs]

@@bryantharris5914 thats not how jiujitsu belt ranking works. "oh, hes too big, so lets put on him a blue belt"

[@bryantharris5914]

@@alanleaocs BJJ Belts are based on effectiveness. I've seen skilled wrestlers come in and get a blue belt within 4-5 months because they are working everybody. It's not like Karate where it i's like 'Hey we should you this move one time, now you know 3 moves so you get a stripe. Belt's in BJJ are based on effectiveness, it doesn't matter how many moves you know, it matters if you can apply them.

[@ConradCreel]

That other guy wasn't a blue belt. He was wearing a blue belt but that's about it

[@SA_7_7_7]

good one congratulations!

[@lukeruffo]

Thanks

[@danielnam8617]

how is that other guy a blue belt ive seen white belts do better defense than him on their first day

[@LolRoboShotU]

It happens.

[@dustinlerch9272]

I don’t agree that it “happens” That guy shouldn’t be a blue belt; on conditioning alone, never mind the ‘defense’ That looked like 2-3 years of solid practice? Please; he got rolled up from the first touch and nothing was that complex from the other guy.

[@LolRoboShotU]

@@dustinlerch9272 maybe the Luke dude is really good and got him out of his hookup.

[@dustinlerch9272]

@@LolRoboShotU Conditioning alone tells me he shouldn’t be a blue belt.

[@LolRoboShotU]

@@dustinlerch9272 who knows how active the man is. He'd probably smoke you, nerd

[@harlee4052]

Stop beating up the blue who lost. This guy's just a monster.
