Thanks for stopping by. How’s training going?

Just got my 4th stripe today as a white belt. Just stay positive guys. Keep playing with position, remember it’s a marathon not a race. We all have a long way to go. Enjoy your time with each belt/stripe.

Congrats! Stay on the journey. Enjoy every moment at white belt, you'll be at blue before you know it.

Hi, great video lots of info. I started my journey in BJJ on the 26th of August 22 so I have been 3 times so far and will keep going for as long as I can, my age is against me at 70 years old but loving it all the same. Keep those Vids coming.

[@bjjrealtor]

Love to hear it. You’re an inspiration. I want to still be training when I hit your age.

[@myjodo]

You rock my man. 70?? Thats fantastic... And here I thought I was doing something crazy starting at 44! Hah!

[@balooojeffersong4234]

You don’t want to “get” a blue belt. You Want to BE a blue belt. Big difference.

[@bjjrealtor]

Good distinction. Once you start rolling with someone they will know if you ARE a blue belt or if you GOT your blue belt. 🤙🏾

[@bobbydabutcha]

Call me a sand bagger, but I'm trying to stay at White belt as long as possible and rack up as many tournament experience/medals as I can (once Covid-19 limitations lift). Going on my 3rd year as a white belt (2 active at the dojo/class/rolling and 1 year, studying at home, drilling and learning moves on the grappling dummy). I like being a white belt because there is no pressure and everyone is helpful. Sure I can get railed from time to time, but that's fine. Iron sharpens iron.

[@bjjrealtor]

Enjoy the time at white belt and get as much experience as you can. One of my hood friends that is a black belt now told me to enjoy the journey at each belt. When is your next competition?

[@bobbydabutcha]

@@bjjrealtor Thank you for the words of wisdom. I have always enjoyed the process and I continue to so I am thankful for that! I am not sure actually when my next competition is locally and I don't think I'll travel for one out of state though it's not out of the question. Maybe an MMA match once things open back up? lol

[@bobbydabutcha]

My math sucks. Actually going on my FORTH year as a white belt, with 1 1/2 years off due to Covid-19 lockdowns but I'm heading back soon!!

[@ThatJamesGuy88]

Been training BJJ since May 4, 2021. Most weeks I train 2-3 days, but sometimes I only got there 1 day a week. I’m 33 years old, in moderate shape, and have a decent ability to learn. I received my first stripe June 15. I don’t feel like anything special. I know I’ve learned so much; but I still feel like blue belts are almost untouchable-except when they let me work. We have some amazing blue and purple belts that are awesome training partners. I really feel the phrase, “chase skills and belts will come.” I wasn’t ready and didn’t expect a stripe.

[@bjjrealtor]

Sounds like you’re at the right school. Keep getting better everyday and the belts will come. Enjoy the journey.

[@notyouraverageguy7696]

[@enochsng3533]

Love the advice, man. I’ve been training on and off for two years now and just recently started getting consistent with my training. Honestly, I really resonated with your point about just enjoying the journey and coming to class with an empty cup and ready to learn. I learn something from everyone, even if they’re brand new. I always write down the techniques we practiced that day in my journal and practice it in my mind.

[@bigreg47]

Me as well. Thanks for mentioned this.

Proud to be still a white belt! Means i can progress more every day, when i come to train. That belt will come whenever im ready :)

You’re exactly right. Enjoy the time as long as you can at white belt. Get better at Jiu Jitsu everyday.

[@coleashmore]

Great insight, I will say at my school know-one seems to get there blue belt in under 2 years, and they are always beasts when they get it.

[@davidecapps65]

As a 46 year old , 2 stripe blue belt, please heed these words. Enjoy your white belt, believe me when I tell you that all the higher belts are taking it easy on you. Crap changes when your belt changes. Also, I feel like a 7 stripe white belt.

[@bjjrealtor]

Great words, enjoying the belt you are at is the best advice. After I got my blue belt there were many times that I thought I was still a white belt. It can take some time to get used to it.

[@grasslandgraphics]

I've learned a lot from losing in competition, probably more than getting tapped on the mat

[@bjjrealtor]

OSS! Losing burns in your memory. I lost 2 matches at Pans in 2020. I think I learned more in that tournament than in the past 6 months. It really set me on a good trajectory.

[@JanKowalski-pe9lo]

You guys almost certainly learn more from lost matcjes than won ones. Treat lost as a lesson and win as an goal and eventually award as it tastes nice :).

[@1jay2023]

There is no losses, only chances to learn

[@MusicloverX88]

Man, I get hyper focused when my professors are speaking. Even when the purple belts teach. I’m paying good money to learn a valuable skill.

Hey brother. Love you outlook and wise words. I am a purple belt in BJJ, it took me just over 4 years. I trained 6/7 days a week, travelled to various countries and attended BJJ specific camps to allow me to train more than my normal routine while holding down a full time day job. You mention you got blue within 10months, how many times a week did you train and what methods did you use to progress so quick? Curious as I live out with the UK and I understand all schools have different criteria to meet each belt. Of course this can be based on ability, skills, competition and/or time spent on that mat. Keep up the good work. All the best.

[@bjjrealtor]

When competition season comes around or there is a major competition. I train everyday except for Sunday. I also won International Novice as a white belt. When we train for Worlds and Master Worlds we have multiple black belt world champions that come train at our school and hold seminars plus most of my training partners are multiple world champions. It’s a special place out here in West Texas. I also won nogi Worlds and Master Worlds as a blue belt. Keep up the good work. OSS 🤙🏾

[@lenorencepayton6879]

I dont get how people who are brand new to BJJ think they can get into BJJ and expect to win. The arrogance of some... I get not liking to lose. But it's inevitable. We dont know what we dont know. Understand you will lose. But learn from it all.

[@bjjrealtor]

You’re 100% correct. Expecting to win and hating to lose is a great starting point for success. Follow that with dedication and a willingness to learn and you’re well on your way.

I believe a blue belt signifies you can now beat a larger stronger untrained person, correct ?

Thanks for the comment. I think in a simplified definition would be , you can demonstrate a good knowledge of Jiu Jitsu and positions. I think a blue belt would have a very good advantage over an untrained person for sure.

Great advice but not every instructor knows completely what they’re talking about, certain things can be more of a show to make you think your learning something you can defend yourself with. it’s good to do some research to see what to look for in an ignorant or snake ish sensei

[@bjjrealtor]

100% That’s great advice. My friend was a Brown belt and he checked out my Sensei before I started. Gave me the green light and it has been great.

[@PsychopathyInArabic]

the ONLY real advice for white belts are: DRILL, DRILL, DRILL, DRILL. .'Rolling" would be after a year/2 years.

[@PsychopathyInArabic]

You come to the gym with purpose and mindset of drilling.

[@bjjrealtor]

Drilling must be done with purpose. Drilling without knowledge of rolling has no context. Almost like learning a language but never speaking to another person. Thanks for watching.
