@@lucasb9693 called itself "Shodokan with thai boxing". The lack of practice with a fully resisting opponent (real sparring) is very limiting. There was a tiny bit of sparring but mostly it was hours of kicking pads or xrays, or practicing combinations solo. Same for my previous karate dojo when I was a kid. And belt promotions were a lot different than BJJ, it was all about how many classes you'd attended as opposed to actual learning.

@Ernest Changatrio Well that's Shotokan. Probably the best standard variety of karate. If I had to pick one thing I'd pick a pistol and two would be BJJ, but Shotokan would be three. Too bad I have time for only two.

There are four common styles of wrestling in China, so it true for some Kung-fu school. lol But no style has comprehensive ground fighting technique (Maybe it's because tatami has not been used in China since Song dynasty?). So BJJ can beat all Chinese wrestling on the ground easily. Recently, some Chinese wrestling schools have started to do ground fighting, something not seen 30 years ago. Obviously they learned something new from Jiu-jitsu or Judo.

I also took shotokan and we never spared at full force....i took alittle small circle jj when i was older and i to got my ass handed to me by relatively new fighters and i took probably 5 years of karate....definitely picked the wrong one there

Yaaa.... NO..... Lol no way in hell would a white belt be respected like a black belt. Thats all poppycock.

It depends what you mean by respect. If you mean respect as a person and sportsmanship, then sure. But it doesn't help anyone if a brown belt goes all-out against a white belt--the way they might roll against another brown belt--and just smashes them.

Ryan Harrington - Bull-hockey. Respect your opponent no matter what.

white belt. 1st day. blue belts salivating. white belt- d1 wrestler. judo black belt. things got real.

@@bigjimmcbob9358 nah that's part of the lesson, higher belts should absolutely smash the lower ranking belts. That's how the white belt learns and develops an effective defense. It also teaches humility and humblness when being absolutely dominated by higher ranks. The white belt can learn a lot from getting worked, and you can apply what you've learned to other white belts when rolling with them.

Yeah man...They prestige like in Call of Duty and their rank gets reset.

Some of the people I train with refuse to believe I'm just a no stripe white belt. They think I'm at least blue belt. I don't like rolling with them either which way, though. I roll with the higher belts, much more fun.

@@ParishedSinsNT yeah alright dude

@@davidenivan Oh no, something you doubt is real. If you can't even imagine it, it must be fake!

@@ParishedSinsNT my apologies, keep living in your own imagination.

So true

First thing I learned was check your ego at the door.

Not really. It would become obvious that he's not really a beginner

I didn't see any egos being crushed at all. They (largely) recognized he'd been trained and seemed pretty good natrued about having him there to roll. Lots of handshakes and hi fives :)

why is that funny gay boy jim?

I see I'm not alone revisiting old interesting bjj vids!

Then he got smashed and humbled!!! 😂😂

"I'm fresh to man"

Me either, I come back to this every few months 😅

First impression of that guy is that he is unsympathetic, the others ones who said something were. But yeh, could be wrong about that guy.

lol I saw that

Lol he looked arrogant. He needed to be humbled.

+Marshall Street He sure did!! I did not care for that fucking purple belt one bit especially when he was eyeing him like a shark and then looked away when he was spotted. I have seen his type before

1985hamburgler Well, I think he just was calm, wanted to take it easy etc.

He even said “I’m fresh”

it looked like dancing, this skills is only possible with a lot of practice or being in those situations a lot. i also like how he instinctively pulled away his right leg afterwards, when the guy tried to grab it with his hand. had to watch in 0.25 speed tho lol

That's just how a lot of assholes are in this world.

Pussies both of you

Bjarke Olsen three of you.

@@khyoon14 Give it time and you'll be an asshole one day too lol

That looks like how the first guy feels as he's walking away... "do I really deserve this purple belt"?

Anthony Pettis got his purple belt the same day the brown belt coach in this video got his black belt, we were both under Daniel and Diego Moraes

Michael Sanford Oh wow that is really cool! A nice piece of trivia for me to chew on, thanks!

ALEX VS STOCKFISH 2017

Jerry commenting out of nowhere!

Agreed. Some of these guys were nonchalantly pawing at him and they paid for it.

ChessNetwork WOW U here

Insect Overlord He's a high level white belt. Someone should put a stripe on it.

He made it look so easy too. Damn.

@@dannielpreto hes a black belt, this vid was only a joke of him pretending to be a white belt. Hes actually a very seasoned black belt

​@@joeblogs7727 Yes, I was being sarcastic by saying he should get a stripe on his white belt.

That was one of the least impressive moves in the whole video.

Ryan Cox Being overconfident has cost countless people more than a win at a BJJ competition. The lesson is great for life, as well as competing in Martial Arts. The fact so many people are sour about the advice means they are most likely mentally weak.

Agreed. I am pretty sure he's not suggesting people just beat up on white belts

How did it go? Im guessing people were surprised when you tapped them

Yeah, people were confused. One guy (a young and zealous blue belt) got really down on himself, like his training obviously didn't mean anything. So after that I told him and he got a kick out of it.

Where did you train? Abjj?

Daniel Holley It must be a ton of fun when you're a super high level black belt. Where you just toy with people.

benji ben I forget the name, but it was the Anchorage-based Gracie affiliate. Really cool professor (long time black belt). His dog used to hang out at the gym.

The Madness thats amazing🙌🏼 i train at his school, we love professor Alex!

Martin Leon We started making more videos, you should check them out

@@KimonoBrothers I subscribed. Saw this reply 3 years later lol

OMFG! AGAIN! All I see are you and the fedora's in the comment section of my reddit videos

country mac is dead....

No more videos :(

Underrated comment.

@@derekb4765 top comment

Marcus J LOL professor Alex is the best i train at his school. We are a big happy family, OSS

Download the "no fedora" chrome extension and you won't see their posts anymore.

The only spam I see here is from you good sir. As your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the video.

You know it's a deliberate attempt to mock the Reddit website right? None of these guys regularly visit the site, they're from a site called 4Chan and they see Reddit as a rival website. It's all kind of sad and pathetic to be honest.

hahahahahaha fukkin LMAO

***** I thought he was spot on. Training your mind is more important than training your body. I love rolling with higher belts and wearing them out with a super defensive bottom game. They will get frustrated and at the end of it they always tell me, "You're pretty good", when in reality I'm not that good, I'm just good at wearing them down over a 10 minute roll.

AzeOfSpadez I saw that

What can you do about that if they made money on it?

Michael Sanford put them in a triangle

Raphael 😂

They told them they were filming a video for the gym's BJJ program, im sure he pretended to film alot of them just actually wasnt

Alan films class every other day.

K7doculos Lots of places film classes especially when it is competition time.

Lol he even shrugged his shoulders to look a little nervous, good actor

There were 66 guys in class there that night.

David Tice People hate their egos being crushed.

Because the whole world has access to the internet and there's a lot of rotten apples out there.

Have you rolled with a top level black belt lately? There's usually not a whole lot of room for struggling. This guy was super super tight with all his positions, it looks like they're giving up but really there's nothing left for them to do.

TANK SHERMAN It is the mind of someone who competes in sport, versus someone who competes in everything.

wrybread No, you can see once he starts mounting the purple belts that they stop hitting their hip escapes. They were mentally beaten realizing this white belt from a Kung Fu school is out grappling them, what does that mean about the last 5 years you've put in?

***** Exactly. It WAS positional sparring but of course some ytoutube dumbass interpreted this video as proof that in modern bjj fighting ends after someone reach better position... lol

Yeah, I was confused by that. You don't learn as much by tapping out early. A bad position is just another chance to learn. It also robs the other person of learning how to successfully finish.

It's open source and I don't think they're making money off of it anyway

Lol

Why not? in case someone is pranking you? The belt system is, for one, a way to match skill level for training. In this case, when he was wearing his assigned belt, the "book cover" matches perfectly. Give up your cliches and think for minute

He can anticipate their every move. He's faster, more conditioned, and can see the moves he was trying on the newbies years ago.

If there is any martial art where there is a huge difference in skill between ranks it is BJJ

***** a really good blue belt could know all the moves a black belt knows (for the most part, or most certainly in theory). not always but it's possible. Black belt still owns him by being able to think ahead and time attacks better. Just like in a game of chess a grandmaster knows when he beat a novice 15 moves before they even think they're in real danger. In a lot of ways it is very similar to chess, but not just because lower belts don't know what to do, it goes a lot deeper ;)

Michael Sanford A blue belt *shouldn't* know all the same moves as a blackbelt. Out of all the 600 submissions BJJ has, blackbelts should know the vast majority. If your blackbelt instructor was going to his own high bluebelt for advice and knowledge, then I'd be questioning where he got that blackbelt.. if he's master the same few moves, then that, to me, sounds like HE should be the high blue, maybe low purple.

Timothy Jones, Jr. BJJ isn't about how many moves you know, it's about how you capitalize on your opponents. SOURCE: I'm a nobody.

SeanaoSeanao Dude, they are ripping each others bones out of their joints

You managed to tap people out your first day there? Were they brand new like yourself too?

I know all the submissions from watching Gracie and BJJ tournaments videos. Jiu never had the chance to roll myself. And it was it all no gi mind you. Helps that work out 3 hours a day with boxing and time at the gym.

@@Loopedtime But the people you tapped were brand new like yourself, right? Because nobody comes in tapping blue belts their first day.

Bane I’m 27 and quite fit. Not everyone there was in as amazing shape. I did get humbled by the veterans who were very strong and had technique. Has I said no one wore a gi on this day. So I don’t know their belts.

@@Loopedtime Ohhhh alright, than you tapped out the new guys. I thought you were trying to say you tapped blue belts haha I was like that's not going to happen haha even the world class champions like Keenan Cornelius, Eddie Bravo, and Marcelo Garcia were getting destroyed by blue belts when they first started. Every single world champion. Nobody ever came in tapping blues unless you're extremely big/athletic with a wrestling background. I'm bigger than the average guy, I watched MMA for 8 years religiously before training jiu jitsu along with watching renzo/caesar gracie jiu jitsu instruction DVDs. I was getting destroyed by the 2 stripe white belts(found out their rank when I started putting the gi on). Also, I was weight training for years before I started jiu jitsu. Those guys you tapped were guys who been training for less than a couple of months, assuming you're in very good shape.

John Fiskin Exactly, plus by being fresh his confidence was even higher. First mistake, underestimating your opponent. Kung Fu 101.

Eh, I don't think so.

he was mainly just being cocky trying to land sickle sweep combinations with just his feet. Once he realized vamos actually had really good base he tried to bail onto a leg

dude she's pretty

She's a black belt now.. :-D

@@notasimplemind 😂😂😂

@@Sei1989 what kind of drugs are you on?

MARQ CARNITA What? Nobody gets to squeeze on sweaty balls?

***** NO GI's in the dojo either.. IT was ruled that Pajamas are for babies... Also the guard position is banned in the DOJO lol.

Pretty strange that homophobes would choose a sport where your face is 10 cm from a man's crotch 90% of the time. No judgement here though, you can come out whenever you are good and ready to be honest with yourself.

Arctor kovich If you're really good, your face can be there 100% of the time.
