Absolutely agree 👍

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Thanks my friend.

[@RENEW-FIT]

After being on and off the mats for many years, doing MMA, etc... I had reached a point that still being a white belt was very frustrating. More recently when I train I just think of the mental and physical benefits regardless of my belt color. This video came at a good time for me. Thanks

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

So glad to be training with you on this Jiu Jiitsu and life journey.

The only real question is: "Am I better at this than I was a month ago?"

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

@@edwardkeeter762 I agree!

Your beard looks fine man 🤙

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Thanks my friend. I appreciate you.

[@jerryh2954]

I like the beard. 18 year Brown belt here.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Thanks my friend!

Sacrificial comment to appease the KZbin algorithm Gods.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Good to hear from you my friend. Looking forward to your next visit to San Antonio.

[@fordguyfordguy]

Actually…… you do have to compare yourselves to others.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Comparison is the thief of joy. Unless you are training to be a high level competitor at IBJJF World's, ADCC or UFC then what does your progress in comparison to others really matter?

[@willalfano8]

I dont really care how your beard looks , but if its constantly getting in the way it is my problem.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

What would it be in the way of? My beard gets pulled while rolling sometimes and it is not a problem anymore than someone with long hair. Thanks for watching.

[@willalfano8]

Reaching for a high collar grip goes right into beards like yours. People with long hair should have it tied up and out of the way.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I have never had a problem with it and have competed in numerous tournaments as a black belt. If my beard gets pulled I work through it. Thank you for your insights.
