Bro. Just subscribed. Promoted to purple belt yesterday and utterly terrified....thank you for the video. Train train train. OSS

@DECEPTIONINDICATED 2 года назад

I just got promoted to Purple after so many years and I know its just a different color belt, but looking around the class at some of the blue belts and white belts, for the first time I felt pressure and nervousness for what is to come now being a purple belt. Any advice for this color belt now and what should I focus on from here? Thanks

“I don’t fear the man who knows 10,000 different kicks, I fear the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times.” - Bruce Lee Great proverb which puts into perspective the importance of technical concepts and drilling. I think this is important at all belts, but particularly important at purple belt.

@jacktaufer6461 6 лет назад

*Edited for typos* Something that Kama always told me was that Purple Belt was about combining 2 or 3 moves together. Blue you are still just learning to do one move at a time. Then you start combining choke and arm bar, Triangle and Omaplata, etc. At Purple you have more to threaten with and the set ups get tighter, combining 2, 3 or even 4 moves together.

@ChairmanSteel 5 лет назад

"I know I learned that, but I suck at it" - This is why we always hear about needing to maintain a white belt mentality. I think it's probably one of the biggest unspoken factors that holds people back in life. The idea that having seen something once or twice means you're supposed to have "learned" it, especially for complex things like jiu jitsu techniques, is incredibly counter-productive. It'll make you embarrassed, keep you from asking questions, cause you to develop bad habits to paint over your fundamental misunderstandings.

Great video thanks! Im a 3rd degree purple and i think its my 4th year as purple this year. Been training for 7 years maybe. Atleast in my school since there is only 1 black belt who is often teaching seminars etc and 2 brown belts i find myself often being in the couch end and watching over others instead of someone trying to clean up my game. But of course it is what it is. But you are right with the thing you said about purple being the longest belt. I dont think im even near brown belt level even though i train 3-5 times a week but i try not to think about it. I keep saying its only a belt and it comes when it comes but man its a long journey to get it... Maybe im gonna do what you said and ask my instructor about the holes in my game!

@barryadrianallen 6 лет назад

I'm a fan of the channel, the content and the Kama JJ philosophy. I know you don't like doing technique videos. Could you do some "concept" videos regarding positions, escapes etc. Henry Akins does this sort of thing too. It's really useful for junior ranks like me to remember a concept than the 50 minor details of a given technique. Keep up the great work 😎

@walkingcorpse1224 6 лет назад

I completely understand. I think what purple belts should do is now train their bodies using Yoga and Cardio exercises to do moves only fast and flexible people do. I'm a purple belt and my berimbolo sucks, so for me to do it and use it, I gotta really rack up that flexibility. That's just my personal ability, at purple it's time to practice moves ur ultimately unfamiliar with.

@nicocontreras5366 Год назад

If you´re older that approach may not be the best. I mean flexibility can be maintained but being fast it´s a little bit harder.

@user-fb4zo8wd5n 3 года назад

I sat on my blue belt for about 9 years. I got my purple belt about a year ago. I haven't trained for 5 months due to COVID. I hope I get my brown belt within 4 years?

@crunkw2 6 лет назад

hi i am a bjj practionner. what is your advice for those who really want to train but cannot afford the fee that most of gyms offered. i am in Dallas and came to your open mat, awesome gym

@walkingcorpse1224 6 лет назад

michel zambo Just keep doing open mats at every gym in ur area, look at the schedules and times. Like in my area, all gyms do their open mats on weekends, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I personally train Judo 1 - 2 days a week and Jiu Jitsu 3 days a week. Now here's where it gets tough, if u manage to see a schedule that's right after the other at a different school, go to it, so like for example in my area, one school has open mat on Friday at 12:00 - 1:30 P.M. Then another school has open mat from 2:00 - 3:30 P.M. then u can do Saturday and Sunday at whatever time u can and that should more or less level out ur 4 days a week. Ask people about techniques, don't be afraid to roll with Purple Belts and up, here's how to work it, with Purple Belts and up, u try and learn and do ur techniques the best u can. Then against Blue Belts try ur best and do everything u can, and then against white belts use all ur techniques with the best details to ur knowledge. Now here's the thing, training in open mat, will never rank u up, but I mean u wanna do this for fun and training purposes so hopefully the belt doesn't mean anything to u. Personally I learn more from open mat than regular practice.

@PapaCael 6 лет назад

@NIGHTSTALKER0069 4 года назад

For the ones that have committed us verse them that is how it. BJJ has changed and I have seen schools just hand out belts to keep students. More students need to learn this is a art with so many different styles and techniques nothing wrong with being a blue belt. I know blue belts that would smoke a purple belt. I will not be part of a school that makes belts easy just because you lose a lot of context in the art.

@THERONANJF 6 лет назад

Cool video. Just a quick question. My club doesn’t give out stripes cause our head coach is a brown belt. As a white belt who has been training for 8 months. What would be good goals to set in order to track my progression. I know I’m a good year and a half if not more off of a blue belt but I’m looking for an aim when I’m training. Instead of just sparring pointlessly. Thanks

@KamaJiuJitsu 6 лет назад

Have you asked your instructor? Stripes are irrelevant to your learning.

@THERONANJF 6 лет назад

Had a chat with my instructor about it today. Thanks for the reply and the great videos.

@MacLethal 5 лет назад

Don't worry about stripes and belts. Just show up and train and grow from the ups and downs. Consistency is way more important than achievements. Just show up and work, the rest will happen when it happens. It always goes way slower than you want it to.

@jessegrinstead 6 лет назад

I really want to like your content, but your “us versus them” mentality is a big turn off. Most of the bjj community will never train with or under you, so it feels like an intended slight when you constantly reference how you have to reeducate experienced students who come from other places. It’s especially insulting that you make visiting and transferring students wear belts with special bars until they meet your specific proprietary standards. The overwhelming majority of bjj schools around the world would never ask such a thing of your students.

@KamaJiuJitsu 6 лет назад

Jesse Grinstead I get what you’re saying and appreciate your comment. Fact is, jiu-Jitsu is no longer “jiu-jitsu,” and every school does it differently, and now teaches it differently. I wish every school had a set criteria that meets their needs that they can teach consistently to all their students. Having standards and criteria that attempts to define jiu-jitsu is a good thing. Not having them makes things random and therefore NOT what you are attempting to teach. How can you justify two different schools teaching drastically different concepts both calling themselves jiu-Jitsu? One of them is, and one isn’t. If they both are, then they are different jiu-jitsus.

@isalehyan 6 лет назад

Kama Jiu-Jitsu Ryan, This is exactly right. Judo has been criticized for being overly hierarchical with the Kodokan and IJF. But every Judoka will come up through the gokyo no waza, and know the same basic techniques. Every school has slightly different variations, but a black belt in one school is a black belt in another because they know the same curriculum. BJJ might be starting to go the way of strip mall Taekwondo, where there are some really good schools, but inconsistent results across schools. The proliferation of schools is a blessing and a curse.

@shauntravers111 6 лет назад

Jesse Grinstead I totally agree. I was in until he took a our way is the only way mentality. Jiu jitsu is an art and not a cookie cutter system. Your way of finishing a triangle may be slightly different then another instructor, but if it works for that person depending on body type or style is it wrong? If you aren't opened minded and give your students tools but dont let them explore that doesn't seem like a very effective way to grow the art or an effective/efficient way to train.

I'm a heavyweight category, 2 stripes white belt. Also, I asked a question in one of your old videos where you're making some smoothie, I would appreciate your response on that too, since I'm a loyal fan and subscriber of your channel 😀

@KamaJiuJitsu 6 лет назад

i started with GJJ. i answered your question on the juice video. as far as the competition, be sure to continue to work on your basics (escaping mount, back, cross side, passing guard, etc). don't worry so much about submissions. get your defense to be solid and unbeatable first.
