This is why I always give a farewell card to everyone that gets a blue belt 😂

@KamaJiuJitsu Год назад

That is funny!

@edmondlau511 4 месяца назад

That sounds like a funny tradition to start 😂

@mikkelmosegaard9271 4 месяца назад

Just recieved my blue belt a few days ago... Honestly enjoyed the journey here, i think I'll stick it out for the long run

@0u73rh34v3n Месяц назад

Before I got my first stripe on my blue belt I thought I peaked and wouldn’t get any better. I then got my first stripe and thought “Holy smokes… I’m a legit blue belt now that I’m a stripe in”. And because I thought so little of my ability, I was happy just staying at that level. About a month later I got my second stripe and then a few months after that, my purple. I’m back at that mindset with my stripeless purple belt, feeling I’ve peaked and that this is as good as I’ll ever be. And I’m fine with that. I don’t do Jiu Jitsu to become a black belt. I do it because I love doing it. If I ever get a stripe on my purple… man alive it’ll be a good day.

@KamaJiuJitsu Месяц назад

That’s the exact mindset you need to succeed. If you have FUN training, you WILL improve to the best you can be (whatever level that may ultimately end up being.” Keep up the good work!

Cheers @@KamaJiuJitsu , I appreciate it!

I got my Blue Belt in July of 2022. A month later, I tore my ACL and I was off for about 10 months....but I never gave up. I moved to a new city, found a new school, and have recently gone back to basics. Frankly, it's not easy. I forgot a lot of techniques that it took for me to earn my Blue Belt and sometimes I can feel insecure asking newer folks for help. However, through all of this, I remind myself to stay humble and not be afraid to ask questions. To my fellow Blue Belts out there, if you feel discouraged or insecure about your jiu jitsu, DO NOT GIVE UP. Speak up and ask for help and practice as much as you need to. Patience and humility is key.

You described me to the T. I got my blue belt under Gustavo Dantes went to train one time a week stopped going all together moved to Washington and started training again after 9 years. White belts were smashing me it sucked. I’m sticking to it though and I will get my purple belt lol.

@carterdahl9654 11 месяцев назад

As a blue belt I dont try and chase the belt, in this case the purple belt, I want the skill and knowledge associated with the belt because being a mediocre purple belt actually scares me.

@kingwilly8041 6 месяцев назад

"Mediocre" just means "average." Most purple belts are average. When they become a good purple belt, that's usually around the time they are given a brown belt. It's complicated, I know.

@xmanc5687 Год назад

I think once u get ur a blue belt , u can definitely defend yourself from the average guy, getting to Purple and above takes a higher level of commitment and can be frustrating. It took me awhile to get my Purple, now I’ve committed myself to just learning. I mk goals and if I don’t reach those goals, I reevaluate and mk another goal, but I don’t get down on myself like I did before.

@3nt3rtain Год назад

Spot on.

@hendrikmoons8218 Год назад

100% my tought. BJJ blue belt or orange belt in Judo + 1 year of kickboxing makes you as a man stronger than about 75% of the rest of the world.

@cwesley2005 8 месяцев назад

I started training at age 37, then had to quit after 6 years bc all those little injuries just kept adding up. I miss it every day but now my body hurts far less.

@kingwilly8041 6 месяцев назад

No need to go all out every roll. If you tap, you tap. So what? Speed and strength are the last things you should be adding to your techniques. Most people do the reverse.

@learnkeys357 Год назад

As a newly promoted blue belt I'm hoping & praying & preparing against the blue belt blues. Life comes at you fast though so I can easily see how a little personal setback could really stunt your progress. I ended up a few weeks back having one of those rough ass days, really a week outside of my training where I just felt lost. I went in to train just to kind of take my mind off the 💩 that was going on around me. Those 2 hours were some really good training & some really good ass kickings that put things back in perspective. The goal I always had in starting bjj was purple, because if I could get to purple, I could get to black. I realized though, that's not going to be good enough, it's gotta be more than just a belt color or years spent. There's way more to bjj than this and if God says the same I'll be training until I can't anymore. Maybe even be an instructor one day 🤷🏾‍♂️ a guy can dream right

@xmanc5687 Год назад

Spot on and the older u r any time off is worse. I’m 60 and I had to take a couple of weeks off. I told someone taking two weeks of of training for a 60 year old is like taking 2-3 months off for a 30 year old. I was gassed when I came back and my feel for the game was way off.

@1deaver Год назад

Our club was smaller , around 8 guys anywhere from 4 to 6 people showed twice a week. Eventually injuries, work, life caused the club to fold. I rarely missed a class, suks that we're done. I have the blue. Guess I'll concentrate on stand-up.

@gymlaxbro Год назад

I just got my first stripe on my blue belt it took me longer to get the first blue stripe than it took me to go from day 1 to blue belt in terms of mat time. Never ever felt the “blue belt blues”. Every 1-2 months I focus on a part of my game intensely that I feel needs to be worked on and that keeps me super motivated as I see continuous improvement

@gymlaxbro Год назад

@The Chad Lite Greg Show that’s a bit long. Have you taken extended breaks during that time for any reason? How do you perform against other levels during training?

@tinkywinky3680 Год назад

Sweet looking shirt!!!!!

@Cauliflower_ears_750 Год назад

Blue belt here. None of this made any sense to me because quitting has never crossed my mind. I've been doing martial arts my whole life. Developing a skill set takes time.

@Haunted7 Год назад

I’m feeling the struggle even at purple

@animanaut Год назад

7:52 i think what you describe here is the “unkown kown“. people forgot about how hard it was for them, the struggle long past memory

@bencruz9095 Год назад

I'm not sure when, but I'll be back. Retirement did not work out 😂 been drilling with my kids to keep up my skills. time has definitely been tight. I've been watching ur videos. This one made me think.

@jaimepardo 9 месяцев назад

I’m a 56 year old blue belt I’ve been training for 5 years. My gym only stripes WB’s so i’ve no idea how far along on my BB journey I am & there is no written curriculum or purple belt requirements. I’ve been a BB for 2 years train regularly & get smashed all the time. I can’t honestly say I enjoy training & my progression is so slow it feels none existent. I know I have the blues & have thought a lot about quitting recently. I just want to get better & enjoy training. I’m not doing either. I think I’m currently a very mediocre BB & the last thing I would want to be is a mediocre purple belt. I’d like some clarity, direction & goals to progress in my training but it won’t happen at my gym as no one can articulate what progression is other than saying someone ‘looks like a purple belt’ & I have no idea what that means 🤷🏻‍♂️

@davidcrawford8583 Год назад

The chugaeri 'Judo roll', isn't easy for some. It took me months to 'get it' back in the mid 90s. Took the patience of a Judo 3rd Dan just a few sessions who actually explained it and taught it so well, where as other black belts couldn't be bothered.

@animanaut Год назад

newcomers instinctively roll over their head, just saw that yesterday

@colonelangus8247 Год назад

There are white belts (students) and black belts (instructors).

1:00 no, I don't...

@assoverteakettle 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, things don't get easier as you get your purple belt. The target on the back just gets bigger, as do your own expectations of yourself which is really what creates that target on your back in the first place no matter what your belt level.

@godlyk3 Год назад

Ill probably never quit, but it is pretty disheartening to see everyone that were blue belts when I started are still blue belts now and I'm 3.5 years into it. I think the uphill from blue to purple has a lot to do with the blues. I think the trick is to forget about whats ahead and just focus on what's in front of you now. Let the belts come when they do.

@rickywoods3101 Год назад

How many times do they train a week?

@lawv804 Год назад

Seems like there is a required change in mindset one has to have to advance past blue belt. Like something has to click in your brain to get to the next level. I've seen some guys have their blue belts for years and years, who train regularly, but never get off the plateau. It's like they stop getting any better after a certain point.

@LC-hv1qn Год назад

I haven't had a stripe on my blue belt in 3 years after getting two stripes in another school before moving. Lol... The only thing I am thinking of quiting is that school. BFL ex heavy weight Champ and 9 year grappler was stuck wearing a white belt and trashed talked behind his back. Sometimes it isn't the blue belt. It's the school. Keep training regardless. There is no curriculum, no known standard, and the instructor gives no feed unless asked. And it's not just me. I now make a point of tapping the shit out of anyone he promotes on purpose because many are kissing his ass.

@af4396 7 месяцев назад

I think you're still misunderstanding the DK effect. The first part is correct, but the effect isn't that highly skilled people think something should be easy, they think THEY THEMSELVES are not as qualified as they are. You get blue belts that think they know everything and are humbled enough so that they quit, and you have blue belts that deserve to be the blue belt, but they don't feel they deserve it because now they know how much they don't know yet, and maybe a more experienced white belt beats them, and they get discouraged because of all the rhetoric about how amazing a blue belt should be, etc. But as far as DK effect, people that have some intermediate experience often feel they aren't as experienced as they are, because they have matured into their field enough to see how deep the iceberg goes.

@KamaJiuJitsu 7 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@dotsfrazer Год назад

I have the purple belt blues I haven't been in over two months I have lost all intrest 😢

@KamaJiuJitsu Год назад

Then best to take a break from jits. Otherwise, it’ll be a chore and wholly unpleasant and then you’ll absolutely quit for sure.

@KamaJiuJitsu Год назад

I hate when bad injuries like that happen. If it’s not getting the neck cranked, it’s getting the ribs popped, knees/elbows/shoulders hyperextended, etc etc. Be careful when anyone wraps an arm around your neck.

@3nt3rtain Год назад

Meh, my personal perspective is training for the sake of training. Do work, get better. Belts hold up pants 😊
