White Belt Tournament FULL MATCHES Jiu Jitsu IBJJF (181.5lbs)

Why does watching this give me anxiety and i'm not even the one on the mats. I don't get anxious when I watch flograppling and high tier grappling but when I watch whitebelts roll I just get nervous for them.

[@noteasilyoffended4649]

Because the non-stop yelling in the background.

[@MaddenMagician]

Same here makes me want to look way so spastic

[@danle3181]

Exactly, they should not compete at that level, too risky.

[@edkrest]

That's because you can feel they're shaking

[@VTEAM229]

@@danle3181well, they don't really know any techniques that can harm people. it is at a higher leve, you learn techniques that can. so if anything, it is safer then advanced jiu jitsu, but advanced jiu jitsu practictioners know how to avoid harm.

Hey! I was definitely nervous but once the match starts, everything you've trained just does it's thing.

At 18:54 that dude had a beautiful submission setup and he had no idea. Of course when you’re rolling and in the middle of it especially as a white belt, you’re going to miss a lot. I look back at videos of myself and it drives me crazy at what I didn’t see.

Yeah that last match was tough. Very strong competitor but it was loads of fun and I learned a lot!

[@joshlienhardt3619]

@@Lattes_Little_Family you did very well, esp at a white belt level There's a lot of variance at that belt level, no stripes vs 3 stripes is a world's of difference You dominated every other opponent and finally met an opponent at or slightly above your level It was such a good match bc it wasn't like he was too out of your wheelhouse, just enough to get beat but be competitive !! Good technique The only thing I couldn't believe was that your opponents never attempted "knee to elbow shrimp" in side control, lol that's my bread and butter ... But it's hard to know what a white belt has learned and hasnt leaned I'm attempting my first competition in Jan, I'm a one stripe whote belt , but have 10 yrs of MMA cage fighting experience And your video was a great way to get a good look at the level I may face , so I appreciate it !! Good luck in your future endeavors in bjj off to a great start !

Great video thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to do a tournament you said there's different age groups, do you remember what the brackets are? I'm 34 and just a white belt. Great matches by the way, your technique is really smooth!

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Thanks! For IBJJF they have masters 1 for age 30-35, masters 2 for 36-40, masters 3 40-44 and so on. But that depends on the availability of each masters bracket as well and you may be given options to choose the bracket you want to participate in. If you go to a big tournament like IBJJF as a white belt, you should have a large pool of competitors

This was in Washington DC in America

[@sevourn]

You could just smell the wrestler coming off of the final guy as soon as he dropped into that stance. When you see a no stripe white belt in the finals take that stance it's going to be a long match. That willingness to go across the back instead of immediately going for both hooks and a rear naked gives it away as well.

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Good perception! First three matches, there was a 15-20 mins buffer between each. The last match for some reason was almost 2 hours after my third match at which point most of my teammates had left. Maybe a combination of that and it being a final had something to do with it. Had a great time regardless though

Looking to get into my first few tournaments as a white belt, I'm wondering what the pieces of my game plan should look like, and if you had one, what it looked like

[@Lattes_Little_Family]

Since it's your first one, it might be useful to think about what moves you are good at in different positions. I wouldn't go too deep into making a plan since it's your first one and it might take some time to get comfortable when the match officially starts. Focus on the fundamentals and maybe one or two moves in each position so you are well rounded. Good luck!
