    I wouldn't call it a race to black belt. Belts are only for ibjjf cuz your professor need to register you i believe. Time on the mat is your belt!. If you're getting tapped by lower belts that have spent more time on the mat, doesn't mean your not at your level but time on the mat and CONSISTENCY is most important.

      I’d rather be whatever belt I am for as long as possible. I’d rather take my time soaking in as much knowledge as possible and be a killer blue belt than be the guy who gets his purple belt but is an easy roll. I’ve seen those guys and they look defeated any time they get out grappled by someone who is a lower belt and it’s only training. Then there’s guys who avoid rolling hard once they know they’re an easy roll for a lower belt. It makes training difficult sometimes

      @@rustam_mma4870 Yet another reason why belts are bullshit.
      Bjj only brought them in so they could compete with the karate Mcdojos of the day.
      Before then , students wore white and instructors wore blue.
      I've seen enough gradings now to know that colours are utterly meaningless to your ability or knowledge.
      A promotion is just a pat on the back from your instructor and nothing else.
      All of the talk about the expectations of different levels is just waffle that instructors make up to try n justify their decisions.
      I feel like I've been lied to but really I should have known better - it's so obviously nonsense. I'm thinking about refusing anymore promotions and maybe even putting my white belt back on .

    I was the KING of scattered effort you have no idea lol. I think far too many people go through this phase unintentionally for the first few YEARS due to both a lack of curriculum and overall general sense of direction. Even now, only after a year at Blue belt did I eventually settle into my own path/style. It would have helped if it was worded out as so in this video lol.

    Do you know the big thing is is a that’s a phenomenal kid that just had a great teacher that went up to Jujitsu started learning everything and I think that’s great where I am in my Jujitsu and where I’ve been doing it for 34 years. yes I’m just still back on armbars triangles, chokes, different kinds of things like that. It’s not even different guards, it’s one guard and Master that you know yeah you can teach like 10 different passes but find one pass that you can do no matter what you always hit that pass. That’s how you master techniques and that’s how you get good at jujitsu.

      I agree, but that would only work if EVERY instructor promoted consistently based on skill. The age rule is to stop the sport having all these joke 12/13 year old blackbelts like you see in Taekwondo, Karate. In a way it's effective and ineffective.

  • @isupportthecurrentthing.1514

    They talk as if there's any rhyme or reason to these colourful belts.
    There's not . These coloured sashes are nothing but a pat on the back from your instructor. They say nothing about your knowledge or ability.
    If I ever start a class , I'll go back to the two belt system. White for students , blue for instructors.
    Bjj is hard enough without having an arbitrary hierarchy to compete in.
