The Best Of The Blue Belts | No-Gi Worlds Day 1 Mid Day Highlight

[@trident272-m6q]

1:38 terrible reffing and terrible conduct by the guy performing the guillotine to just let his unconscious opponent's head snap down hard on the mat...

[@Spiessi92]

Was thinking the same thing, at this level this should not happen!

[@nathanb5662]

the dude gets smashed in the next clip, what goes around comes around

[@Danlovestrivium]

Not excusing it in any way, but adrenaline is a very real thing and these guys are fighting for their lives. Once you feel that tap, everything immediately and instantly changes from fight to relief/excitement, especially at this level and fighters often times are overwhelmed with emotions and not thinking clearly. Again, I'm not saying it's not wrong, I'm just trying to give some context as to why things like this happen. It may not have been intentional.

[@pztfootball8719]

@@Danlovestrivium that’s no excuse, we train every day and therefore we train our adrenaline every day. If someone’s adrenaline is to the point where they don’t care if their unconscious opponent snaps the back of their head on the mat they need to grow up and atleast withstand criticism without excuses. Back of the head is no joke

[@Danlovestrivium]

@@pztfootball8719 If you think that training in your gym with people you know and roll with all the time is the same as competing at the world level, I honestly don't believe you've ever competed even at the local level, to be honest with you. Also, you should go back and read the very first sentence in my statement.

I see what you mean but have to release the choke quick as well. It’s really on the ref for not realizing he was out seconds sooner

[@Joecool20147]

1:30 ref apparently thinks being in a very high elbow guillotine for 8 seconds and then going completely limp does not imply inconsciousness

[@deltoids1151]

lmao worst reffing

[@camcantrunvods9765]

Also an absolutely terrible display of sportsmanship dude dropped him full force. What a rat

[@Joecool20147]

@@camcantrunvods9765 in these situations I give more blame to the refs then competitors. When a ref tells you to stop your first instinct is to immediately let go as fast as possible. Plus going from a guillotine to catching someone’s head is likely never a movement he has ever done in his life. So I’d like to think I’d catch the guy’s head, but I’ve actually never seen anyone do it in MMA or BJJ

10 years ago that was the black belt's level

[@ChessJitsu]

most of these dudes either wrestled a lot before and/or have their promotions to purple belt prolonged so they can compete in worlds. also, it's no gi, which is only 1/2 of jiu-jitsu.

[@EagleTrue]

@@ChessJitsu no gi is 4/5 of jiu jitsu. Gi is overestimated by people. Just look at Keenan who said that gi jiu jitsu is 10X harder than no gi, but doesn't know how to do a simple fucking arm drag.

[@froggy3496]

I know it's a highlight but this video makes it feel like everyone knows how to wrestle

[@sugarskulllyfe5890]

lol yea some great talent on this video for sure!!! but it is "worlds" so

[@Danlovestrivium]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of these guys were talented high school or collegiate level wrestlers with years of experience far exceeding the time your average blue belt has on the mats. It doesn't have to be that way, but looking at most of these dudes, they certainly look as if their at an athletic level much higher than someone that started doing BJJ 2-3 years ago and trains for an hour 2-3 times a week.

[@nathanb5662]

as a high school wrestler who is also a blue belt, these guys are good wrestlers at least very good high school level to possibly D1, you're instructor has to now teach wrestling otherwise people will be left behind

[@garrydye2394]

Great clip. Looks like a lot of students of the wrestling game in this one. Nothing wrong with that.

[@helisean10]

The guy just dropping his unconscious opponent at 1:38 and letting his head bounce off the mat is a loser and he should be disqualified for that. Totally uncalled for, and then he steps away like its no big deal that he could have broken the guys neck or given him brain damage. The ref too, get rid of that bum.

[@AlexisLaplante]

What do you want him to do? As soon as you let go of the guillotine the guy will fall down + he was already seated down, he didnt let him fall from a standing position

[@AlexisLaplante]

@Enigma Vids dosent change the fact that he just let go of the guillotine while the guy was seated, he didnt toss him from a standing position. most comments don't seem educated on the subject. Yes it LOOKS brutal, but it isnt malicious whatsoever lol..

[@julianfischer2341]

You could gently let your opponent fall to the mat. Also trashy of flograppling to put it in the highlight.

Fam why would you put the guy getting slept with his head hitting the mat so hard. Thats messed up. Horrible on the ref, bad sportsmanship on the opponent and whoever cut this video not a good look. We could all see he was out. Just cut away on the release.

[@JC-ez7lr]

What I dont get about this is how do you stop a gym from training a guy 7ys and just giving him a blue belt so they can compete here?? Also how many years in average do you think this guys have?? I got my blue belt in 1.5ys but I bet my ass this guys have waaaaay more time than that training

[@balooojeffersong4234]

Why have a blue belt worlds lol?? If you’re such a good blue belt just go to purple belt. Should call it the sandbag worlds

[@derrickrobinson7269]

2 reasons: Tradition (time constraints) & overall skill increase. You can't fly through belt ranks (even if you're a prodigy) due to IBJJF if you want to be eligible to compete, no matter how good you are. A guy I train with has insane mat time & 2nd at the ADCC Open and is a killer, but he's only a Blue due to training less than 3 yrs. Also, the overall skill level has shot up for all belt ranks than it was even 10 yrs ago. All Blue Belts I know can wrestle, pass, pin, escape, play guard, and are competent at leglocks at the bare minimum. Ofcourse as a Blue myself details need to be refined, but the knowledge required in modern BJJ just to be Blue is huge.

[@balooojeffersong4234]

@@derrickrobinson7269 so what you’re saying is it’s pretty much a competition to see who can sandbag the hardest?

@@balooojeffersong4234 Lol sure we can call it sandbagging, but it's forced by the IBJJF so we can't blame the schools. Andrew Wiltse has a rant about it detailing his personal experience being sandbagged at Blue/Purple because of IBJJF time policy
