Jiu Jitsu White Belt Semi Finals

[@shiishani3302]

Good to see 2 ACTUAL white belts at a white belt tournament.

[@Tab-uj4mm]

What do you mean by this

[@shiishani3302]

@@Tab-uj4mm often you can find blue- or even purple belts with years of experience fighting in white belts tournaments.

@@shiishani3302 WHAT?

[@shiishani3302]

@@zoelundy6121 I have seen it a lot. Once my friend beat one of those and the dude came over and asked, how long we had been doing BJJ. He himself had been training for 6 years or so, so he couldn't believe it. He was fighting in the white belt devision.

[@joonkim5560]

@@shiishani3302 Well if he's been training for 6 years and he got beat by a white belt, wouldn't it be justified that he's a white belt? I thought the time you put in doesnt matter in jiu jitsu, just pure skill.

[@Benjisliving]

I remember my first tournament at white belt. So many nerves. Good job fellas

[@RackzSZN]

is a white belt the first belt ?

[@stormnegele463]

@@RackzSZN yes

[@theratrace2153]

@@RackzSZN nah, the first belt is your trousers belt.

A lot of great cardio and perseverance there. No loser in that match. I think you both performed admirably, especially in the OT. I hope to get great grappling cardio like that someday.

[@ahmadmoner]

the legend says, they are still fighting for the armbar to this day

[@ronthemogul]

Was the ref a white belt too?

[@falkhammermuller9342]

Strange referee. The guy is on full mount for ages and the ref doesnt move them into the middle. But when the bottom guy makes a move, he stops them mid air ...

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Thanks for the comment! That's why when we moved back in the middle, I was confused why we didn't start from full mount. I stopped my movement when I went out of bounds and while the bottom guy was still moving, the ref stopped me.

[@MrRuebendavis]

Strange is another word for bad.

[@pedro_sedso]

look at his socks

[@markymarco2570]

Oh, come on, they were almost at the stands.

[@IncrediPaulAZ]

Totally should have stopped when in mount. The ref did it again when he stood just moments later, though there was a great opportunity angain when in guard right before

[@AruMaLyon]

I actually applauded watching this! I was thinking about getting into bjj but am concerned about injuries as my line of work requires physical effort (flood and restoration). Good on you guys who get into this awesome martial art!

[@JensenParkour]

Don’t limit yourself. I did years of construction and trained 3 days a week. You can do more than you think you can

[@AruMaLyon]

@@JensenParkour thanks for the words of encouragement! Just been watching Machado brothers instructional vids and some bjj books online. I’m strongly considering it!

[@JensenParkour]

@@AruMaLyon good brother! Supporting you all the way! You can do anything you put your mind to

[@trevorhare1815]

It's pretty low risk if you're training with casual people. Lots of older guys with physical jobs at my gym. I haven't gotten injured but often sore muscles same as lifting weights.

[@7arb-f-15]

It depends on the guy youre rolling with. If its with a respectful guy you shouldn’t worry about injuries… but some dudes can be very dirty and attempt to break your limbs.

[@jetlee1981]

That was a great roll to watch... Well done both of you!

[@MacDaddyNumber1]

Great match guys. This was a battle of attrition, great job to the both you you!!

[@a_r_k]

my personal favourite 16:28

[@Crystals10000]

ive watched quite a few white belt competition matches where theres no attempt to submit at all...so this is kind of nice to watch since you dont have a choice

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

I definitely agree. If I had a choice, I would almost always prefer a submission only tournament

im 1 month into BJJ .. i love it but i would never ever see me in a tourney after 5 month... im the worst lol

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Welcome to the Bjj life! You’ll be surprised at how much you would have learned in 5 months of consistent training. Definitely wait until you feel comfortable. Tournaments are a great way to test your skill against people in the same level

[@Joshmaen1]

@@Lattes_Little_Family im so scared to fall on my opponents and hurt them so I dont really go into the fight.. its because i'm 2meters and 140kg ..don't wanna ruin someone's BJJ career 😄

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Thank you! I was training around twice a day 3 times a week (fundamental and advanced classes). Check out the video of the last tournament I participated in before my blue belt!

[@Slickhuman]

@@Lattes_Little_Family Damn nice, twice in a day!? I do 3x a week. I plan on competing as a white belt later this year. Any tips? I do 1 hour training sessions. 40 mins drilling, and 20 mins rolling. I've been doing bjj/muay thai for 3 months now.

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

@@Slickhuman tournaments are a great way to test how you fair against other white belts. Go with that expectation since you never know what level of white belt you’ll be facing the very first round. This was a smaller tournament then something like the ibjjf I did after this one. Good luck!

[@matiasortiz8271]

in my first competition i had two submissions, a rear naked choke and an armbar, I was so nervous

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

That’s awesome! What tournament was it and what did you place?

[@isabeldulce6345]

I broke my pinky 2 weeks prior to the world's tournament 2019. I miss last year's worlds tournament as well I think I have bad luck

[@fdcdrifter]

I got 3 stripes in 8 months.

[@ronthemogul]

Lyle Benzo interesting

[@patrickgodoy6059]

Why are they doing these drill like matches? I don’t get it

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Because it's a submission only tournament, after the first 6~7 mins, the ref gave each of us different positions to try to submit.

[@brinks5555]

If you get that right arm under their wrist youll be able to break that arm free easier with the pressure you can put on it

[@kelekisGR]

Is it me or did the other guy gave him the full arm lock by rolling over you in the end?

[@johnpaddington4791]

Why are the lower belts(white to orange) more aggressive than higher belts fight(blue to black)

[@tylerkrepps1530]

John Paddington Because white belts don’t know as much. They are limited in their tools so they become over aggressive and try to muscle through things rather than use technique

[@eishiba3916]

ive tried watching these but i never see like arm bars or knee bars or anything. just holding.

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Hey, usually depending on the tournament, they allow knee bars starting from blue or purple belt. Got a arm bar finish at the end

[@alik556]

amazing, play defensive, wait for your moment, attack

[@arifmemovic3383]

Great match

[@noahwoolley6632]

8:12 wtf happen hear?!

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

[@MitchellC]

Were Bicep slicers allowed in this tournament?

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

JRNWO bicep slicers are not allowed in the tournament

I posted the highlights for the second tournament initially. And then 4 months ago decided to post the full matches from that tournament. So it was around 1 year gap between the two tournaments

[@TRESYKES]

that last dude who extended hes legs around your neck, while in armbar should be illegal, that could couse such bad injury. I got caught in atriangle without my arm in, pain for 4 days

[@mra1532000]

Why are you stopping every two minutes?!?

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

mra1532000 in the beginning we had to restart when we went out of bounds. Late in the match we were in overtime so we were each put into an advantageous position to try and submit each other. If the other person escaped that position, it would be up to the next person to try

I hope the guys i compete against are as noobies as these 2 lol . I'm a white belt and doing 1st tournament next month
