Jiu Jitsu White Belt Semi Finals 

What do you mean by this

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

@@shiishani3302 WHAT?

@@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.

@@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.

is a white belt the first belt ?

@@RackzSZN yes

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

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.

Strange is another word for bad.

look at his socks

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Steve MacDonald thanks! Really enjoyed this match. I learned a lot from it

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

@@Lattes_Little_Family im competing tomorrow for the 2nd time

@@Crystals10000 how did it go?

@@BJJTK basically the guy was trying a submission but i wouldnt tap because i was fine but the ref decided to give him the W anyways lol

@@Crystals10000 good stuff! Surviving is a win at white belt! Hope your training has been going well

Thanks for watching! I became blue belt late 2017. Waiting to train more when time and COVID allows

Wtf did I just watch

my personal favourite 16:28

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!

@@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.

@@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!

V random i was confused by that he actually had a submission of his own going on there

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

@@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 😄

@@Joshmaen1 well you’ll most likely go against people around the same weight class so maybe it’ll be alright to fall on top of them? 🤔

@@Lattes_Little_Family not much of them in my gym but i learned the most people are tougher the i think

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.

his name is austin

what belt is he now

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

How did u break it

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

I took a break from an injury late 2019 with three stripes on my blue belt

@@Lattes_Little_Family What injury? Hope you get well soon

@@matthewa2095 Thanks! I did recover and looking to get back to training soon. During a roll, I felt my rib pop and I didn't think too much about it. It was sore but I returned to train after a weekend of rest and injured it more. It was a hematoma on my rib so if I had rested for a few weeks I would've been fine but since I rushed back to train I had to rest for several months

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

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

JRNWO bicep slicers are not allowed in the tournament

Plus you usually can’t slice until purple I believe

Hey! I go to Ground Control Columbia in MD. Great instructions and have learned a lot!

Yeah I posted a highlight one but ended up posting the full version 3 years later

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

Brandon Harding he’s a shitty ref

Exactly

Pretty much.. don’t forget, you guys were once white belts also

@@sumthinvishus9300 don't get me wrong I love Greco-Roman I practice it here and there. It's awesome

Hi Luke, I'm not quite sure. I haven't done anything more than posting on RU-vid. But I know a lot of people watch Jiu jitsu on youtube (including myself) so there is definitely an opportunity to get more views

There tends to be a big skill range in white belt. I’ve improved since then so check out the other white belt tournament video on my channel to compare. That’s great to hear about your tournament! Glad to hear tournaments are being held again amidst Covid. Hope you have fun!

@@Lattes_Little_Family thanks buddy 💪💯🔥🥋 . You seem like a cool dude imma keep you guys updated on my tournament on my channel or if you wanna see the behind the scenes add me on Instagram:RickyResults . Wishing you Goodluck on your next tournament as well : )

Was a submission only tournament so when it went to overtime, we were given different positions to submit each other

Yes! Definitely can

@@Lattes_Little_Family i am pretty sure you are wrong here

of course he is wrong, you can't do guillotine...he is an unathletic, unelastic, weak white belch

no they don't, but this guy is awful. some dad who just was passing by the tournament it seems.

Depends on the school.

How is it boring?

Not a fight

@@happywolf6804 this is a grappling sport. the world has more variety than you think

Ta mère la pure elle est ennuyeuse aussi

Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Check out my new dc tournament!

I mean my coach won 2 tournaments only knowing how to do a key lock so if he can succeed only knowing 1 sub this guy will be alright not knowing a guard pass, not forever but for like a tournament.

with allot of resisiance it's allot harder to do a guard pass with someone smashing on top of you. This is white belt competition.

To learn.
