I joined a 10th planet in August. My brother in law talks to me about it. Says he has black belts in karate, tkd. Japanese jiu jitsu, krav Maga, and muay Thai. Says he got them all in 5 years going to a gym once a month. I cannot wait to get him on the mat.
he’s gotta be lying
I think I’ve met your brother in law at a bar.
@@shades6768 I think he's just very naive and a little ignorant. It sounds like he signed up for some program under an old "master" and that's how he got his belts. He was talking about arm trapping to block punches so I know he can't fight.
Muay thai doesnt use ranks
@@thomaskruse3188 Yep. Can't argue with that.
Step 1 wrestle for 1-4 years. Step 2 join jiujitsu. Step 3 train frequently.
When I was a white belt I couldn’t wait to get my blue, now i wish i spent more time focusing on being in the moment instead of wanting the next belt. Great content, good points!
Praise the Uke Mike
For me that's the best attittude. All you gotta care about is learning and having fun.
As a white belt (2 stripes) I’m really glad I heard that
I came into BJJ with a judo background (brown belt) and it has taken me a year to get to 3 stripes on my white belt. It’s not just about rolling, but also knowledge of techniques. And I gotta be honest, this is as fast as I want to progress! At this rate I’m on track to get my blue after about a year and half and I’m already worried about living up to it. I’m excited to get it, but I’m more concerned with being good at BJJ than the color of my belt.
Never worry about "living up" to your belt color. Trust your coaches. They aren't just going to give it to you.
@@Chibbs.E That’s good advice man. I appreciate that.
I have this same problem and my promotion is about 3 months out. I haven’t won a match in a tournament yet so it just makes me question my promotion
@@stevelewis8961 Man, I wouldn’t let your tournament performance affect you that much. First of all, the level of competition can vary widely. For example, I got a gold medal in my recent tournament, but there was only one other guy in my division! Haha. So it’s really not that impressive for me. OTOH, my opponent shouldn’t feel bad because he got stuck going against someone that had previous judo experience. So you can’t necessarily judge yourself that way. Know what I mean? Besides what is important is that you competed. And I bet you learned and grew a lot from the experience.
@@stevelewis8961 tournaments are for meatheads with something to prove..... BJJ should be about what you want to get out of it.... not medals.... and lets not forget about self defense.....
Flow rolling is definitely what's been helping me. When you're slowing things down and not as focused on winning, you identify all your failure mechanisms and learn how to improve it. Plus, the slower pace helps you work more moves into your game without the fear of failing.
That should be default. Like when two muay Thai pros spar. It's all slow.. You kick to hard. The pros won't risk sparring with you... Going hard every roll is a big falicy!
100% agree
One thing my MMA coach told me that's helped a lot with my grappling (been a striker for 8 years and just started grappling a year ago) was: write down the tips on the basic techniques (take-downs, passes, mount, escapes, sweeps & subs etc) after each class. Writing them down hasn't really helped me remember the techniques (I've got a pretty good memory so have never had to worry about forgetting techniques) but just writing them down has forced me to think about and visualise the positions outside of training which has helped a lot with being aware of what my options are from any position (when you spend a lot of time thinking about something it's easier to develop a good game plan etc).
Very good that 🥋 I’m a white belt 1 stripe! 54 year old rolling 2-4 times a week learning fast love it 🥋🥋🥋
Good points Tyler, I would also like to add to the list that you should ask your coaches/professors feedback on how well you're perfoming, because it will show what are your strengths and weaknesses so you can improve and take a forward progress.
I would add don't get injured. Tap out even if it isn't 100 percent locked and don't go for crazy positions when you are new. I went to an MMA gym for a month and tried some kind of flying/rolling armbar and ended up not completing it on a heavyweight. I got slammed on my shoulder and it was messed up off and on for 2 years after that. I have a demanding job and never got back to it.
As a newly anointed blue belt, just keep showing up until your belt changes color. I went from 2 stripe white to blue (we don't promote often), and I wasn't expecting it at all. Been training 20 months. Ask higher belts what you could have done in the situation they dominated you at if they are friendly. Often they want to talk about their favorite sweet moves they mastered. Also, get a partner, and sign up for a private class together. Having a privately coached live roll day is SO SO helpful.
I love your channel man. Thank you for all the content!
as a guy who will have his first training this friday, i can say that this video is more than helpful
I just got my first stripe today! It feels good. I'm going to stay humble, good attitude and just learn and learn and learn and learn. Great video!
Good info. Thanks Tyler
I recently got my blue belt back in July after a year and a half. I was consistent 3-4, sometimes 5 times a week. I enjoy jiu jitsu, learning and rolling is awesome. It's your journey, enjoy it and you'll be a black belt before you know it.
Great tips!
Awesome video thanks!
Rolling is imo the best thing you can do for progression. Drilling is good but without resistance you want know how well you're doing the move. Attitude plays a big role to. I accepted the fact I was going to get crushed on my first day of training and that attitude has helped a ton. Great advice Tyler. More of these kind of videos would be great.
Wrong
I prefer doing situational rolling to work on specific parts of my game. After each time we reset I try and get whatever feedback I can from my partner.
After 18 years of Muaythai, the Brazilian Jiu, Jitsu, version of “beat up” are substantially different…. In jiu-jitsu you don’t really get beat up, the best way I could put it is worked, your joints will hurt, your hands will hurt from holding things you don’t need to, but no, you really don’t get beat up like you do in impact combatives… it took me six months to get cauliflower ear and Muaythai, that’s what beat up really looks like.
Blue belt in 100 days, you're kidding right? I go to class 3 times a week, minimum. I've rolled since day one with all belts. I roll with a plan and purpose. I'm polite, I ask questions, I watch bjj CZcams videos almost daily. I clean the mats from time to time, and it STILL took me 105 training days to get my first stripe on my white belt.
As a long time white I always go with higher belts, even if we have someone new in the gym I go very easy. I'm to polite I think it holds me back
Great video. The skill level breakdown was funny for me because I feel like 90% of everyone I roll with is better than me and 10% new white belts lol
I like the knowledge approach to belts.
I was a collegiate wrestler and am about 225
When i started no GI rolling once i learned a few positions and techniques i found i could consistently tap blue and a few purple belts because i was able to control where we started.
However if i got thrown or tripped i was a fish out of water and got smeshed. Therefore i dont deserve my bluebelt
As someone who has been making good progress, the best thing I did was take a 4 month break from training, and only training 2 times a week, and another day outside of the gym practicing things I want/need to work on that I don't get the opportunity to inside of class. When I took the break i was hard plateuaed on everything and wasn't excited to train. Now I am hungry to get better.
I would also suggest at least an occasional private lesson if you can swing it. They can be extremely effective for your game and also puts you on your coach’s radar. That said, it’s fun to be a competent white belt who can beat some blues, but it sucks being a blue who can get beat by some white belts, so enjoy your time at white.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday has been my BJJ schedule for the past year or so. Perfect for adding 1-2 weight training sessions in, along with allowing time for other important things, girlfriend, family, chores, etc.
That's decent I usually prefer 1-2 BJJ days And lifting more then 1 or 2 sessions I want to get more stronger.
Personally I progressed the most/learned the most during open mat and rolling with higher level blue belts, and some purple belts that were willing to give me the time of day and not completely plow through the roll.
My 2023 Goal 💙 & to get to Tobago in may 🤞🏽
I got my blue belt in 7-8 month of training. Just show often, compete and get the medals from the tournament. In order to show that you are above your level and it is time to move on. That's how I did it
I started BJJ in April 2022 and am on track to getting my Blue by April this year. I try to go 3 times a week and spar all three of those times.... For Instance this week - Monday night Spar, Wednesday Morning and afternoon class with sparring (2 classes) Friday morning NoGi.... Sometimes I go to other Dojos in our same school to work with different Professors techniques.
My game plan is to work on take-downs, but I generally spend 90% waffling between being on bottom in half guard and on bottom in side control.
I was right there with you until I learned some half guard sweeps. Can't hit them on many upper belts yet but it's been nice refining my game with my other white belt homies. Keep rolling man!
@@K3mikGuy367 I've been taught a few. Haven't really learned them yet, though.
@@danielskrivan6921 You got it man, be patient and be smooth and you'll keep evolving.
I notice u collect action figures/statues I do as well super fun hobby, brand new to the sport but loving it so far
Going into it chasing belts will end badly. Be consistent and focus on each class and what we can learn. It’s a long and enjoyable journey, and belts and progress will happen. I enjoy doing the classes and open mats because I lose weight, see my roll buddies and it makes me feel good about training. One day I’ll get where I want to. Until then I enjoy being a good student.
Don’t worry about the promotion. Try to be the best in your gym at your current rank. The belt will come.

Good advice, I still would never give someone a blue belt before at least a year of training. Not everything is about skill. I still make most of the 5-6 days per week crowd wait 15-18 months. To get it in 12 months they'd have to be training all the time and clearly be ahead of the other white belts, maybe cleaning up the white belt tournaments and needing that next challenge at blue. My advice if you want it in 100 days would be either be over the age of 70 (still training all the time) or be a competitor with a div 1 wrestling background who needs to level up to compete in colored belt divisions.
I think I'm really lucky, because a lot of what you're saying is built into my gym culture. I don't even have to try to check the boxes in this video, because my gym pushes us towards it already.
1. My professor encourages us to train. For those who have the schedule free, but their conditioning isn't able to handle a full schedule yet, he encourages them to work at a pace where they can make it to as many classes as they can.
2&3. We always scale up from drill, to positional rolling (usually pass/sweep and reset), to positional rolling (until submission), to live roll. And most of the time, we can get extra live rolls in after class. Or if we're extra sore, he's fine with us just drilling instead. It's a great balance of everything.
4. This is the reason I'm really happy for my gym. 95% of us are great training partners. Most of the ones that aren't, also have poor attendance, so they're not as big of an issue. It makes it so the rolls are fun and safe, and also so that I have good role models on how to be a good training partner, and all of the rewards that come from them helping me out.
Got my blue belt in 2 weeks. First week I learned how to RNC properly and do an Americana. Competed the week after and tapped a blue and purple belt. I don't see what all the fuss is!
(Ignore the 20 years of prior wrestling).
Pretty crazy that some people can get their black belt in TKD quicker than most people in BJJ will get their blue belt. love this sport.
I got my blue belt in a year boys 🤟 I got it last promotions 😁😁😁😁 this was one of my first channels that helped out a lot thanks 🙏
You should do a video on, "why" do you want your blue belt quickly....longer at a belt level the better i say
I think the best thing for new people is to forget about the belt. Honestly it’s a distraction in a lot of ways and it seems like every gym and every professor has a different approach to grading students for belts.
I used to think the same way that I wanted the next belt. Then I realized that the belt isn’t an achievement so much as it is a reflection of your prowess on the mats. Or at least it should be. Seriously, in some gyms you’re not a blue belt until you’re better than every other white belt in the gym. It doesn’t necessarily mean you can beat them. There are always bigger people or more athletic or younger or whatever, but you have to be more technically proficient than all of the white belts before you’re a blue belt. That’s the way I see it.
It sucks sometimes because people may get promoted sooner, and you will feel like you have been passed up. C’est la vie. They’re technically better than you. Some people are naturals and will progress faster.
I don’t honestly see the value in getting promoted until you’re good and ready for it.
Trial by fire, do you mean the literal chance of methane being lit during a roll? Ty for your advice, sir.
I was hoping to stay at white belt for a few more years because getting into competing and would like to work on competing Before progressing
Getting a blue belt in 100 days means you’re in a mcdojo. Hell you might even be as good as ben and get your arm broken and have you celebrate it
I'm 2 years in and consistently going 4 days a week. Still a white belt but a 4 stripe one. Getting closer though. I really don't care about belts but I would love to get promoted with my other 4 stripe white belt friends.
They can rank me whatever they want. My reason for training is more for conditioning than anything else. Plus grappling is fun.
I’m not there for black or to do competitions.
how fast could someone progress if they r going 4-5 days a week and doing private classes on top of that? How long would it take for someone to be tournament ready and how good would they be after a year? Im just curious.
What's your workout schedule like? I enjoy weightlifting, can't go without it, and I love running too. Do most people who do jiu jitsu run and lift? Can I get away with 3 days BJJ, 3 days running, and 5 days lifting per week? Or would that be over training?
it depends on what your body can handle but overtraining can really hurt you in the long run (and that sounds like a lot to me!). I train BJJ minimum 3 times but usually 4 or 5 a week. I am about to add in weights and plan on doing 2 times a week bc more will be too much for me personally. for running, maybe doing light morning runs on BJJ days and longer ones on off days or weekends / alternating lifting and bjj days. you'll find the best fit :)
My gym promotes based on time and attendance. My professor admitted I was ready for blue but didn't give it to me after 4 months. I don't mind honestly but a couple white belt who started at the same time I did moved gyms after they weren't promoted. 8 months to a year seems to be the time it took most people in my gym.
Blue in 4 months. Prodigy :o
What gym I'd this send location haha 😄
@@elwynn1230 shit blue in 8 months to a year. took me 16 months training 6 days a week, and i thought i was promoted too fast LMAO.
I thought it was 1.5yrs to 2yrs with consistent training to reach blue.
I’m old school in the sense that it should be at least 2 years - regardless of how you perform. Character is way more important. I see blue belts who can perform and muscle way more than needed. It’s getting to blue and having a certain mindset and flow. I don’t think you can get that without the years.
I worked half guard for one year and now I’m trying to learn the rest of the guards. I don’t think I was ready for my belt
It’s hard to focus on just one thing when you learn so much from week to week.
drop the tackett rolling video!! 👉🏽👈🏽
Before I watch this video, I wanna make a comment.
When I first started I wanted to get that blue belt, that’s all one thinks about. Now, I don’t just want to get it, I wanna earn it. The reality is that I’m aiming for a purple belt. The way I see it, there’s the same distance, knowledge wise, from white to purple; no matter how long you stay at white or are at blue. So I’m on my journey to purple, without worrying too much whether I’m at white or blue around the waist.
8month white to blue at 10p Las Vegas. Show up. Train min 3x a week, max 10 sessions a week that’s 2x a day
Structure and program your sessions
I got the purps I don't know why I'm watching this.
I'd add be humble and ask questions. If you're cool higher belts will gladly help you. If you're a cocky tool the higher belts will leave you to drown.
Currently have an awesome white belt under my wing and I'm stoked to see him improve.
I’m a white belt with two stripes and I’ve already gotten a broken ankle, a sprained ankle, broken wrist, and broken thumb ever since I’ve started. I’ve been progressing a lot faster ever since I picked up wrestling too and I still have a lot of work to get. It’ll be worth it in the end though once I have the blue belt!
The wrestling helps a lot
Damn!
Im a new one stripe and I 1st tried Jiu jitsu 5 years ago - popped both elbows in arm bars 2-3x, got lightly heel hooked and had a wonky knee for a month, got flipped and messed up my neck, and finally rolled out of a back take but at the cost of compressing my chest/rib which I’m healing from. Totally worth my stripe.
“Do you remember in high school” -cuts to general relativity, arguably the most complicated subject in the world
About what you said about going three days a week, I am a wrestler in high school and I would say I’m in very good shape. Would you still recommend three days a week or could I do more?
As an ex high school wrestler now doing bjj, I would suggest 3-4 days a week, im 20 and I asume youre around the same age so we can take more abuse
i'd say focus on your wrestling. Unless you continue wrestling into college, youre not going to get that wrestling time back, while bjj is going to be there for ever.
i'm still trying to get demoted. for some reason, my instructor won't do it, LMAO.
Yeah you definitely don’t have a choice to roll with certain people at my gym . We’re instructed to roll with each person but it’s ok I know which ones I have to be more defensive and sharp for. I’ve had so many higher belts give me all the advice I could handle because I’m willing to listen and not take criticism personally. Being a good student is a huge part of it you’re right
I just got my blue this month. . . Can I get my white belt back?
I was the whitebelt that when I came in I wanted to roll right away with the black belts
It’s been one year for me, very very close to getting my blue belt. I actually thought I was getting promoted tonight but it was for someone else. I’m going 4 days a week and outdoing most of the blue belts
Just be a blue belt in your head. 🤣
@@Amusegirl1980 sparring with other blue belts and beating them is a good indicator of where you are at
I love the tip that you should be rolling 30% time with somebody worse than you, 40% same level as you, and 30% somebody better than you. Especially, at white belt, you tend to become free training dummy for higher belts.
Do purple belt next
2:00 bro, I had really good day until that moment :(
💯
Seems owners want time and commitment regardless of how good you are
Mmmm my weekly dose of duck quacks
Promotion in BJJ is pretty arbitrary. Most gyms don't have a defined curriculum and the promotions are more of a business model than a coherent method of knowledge transfer
Why is it a race?
quick promotion to blue belt only to leave quickly
The bottom line is more time and training which isn’t what people want to hear. There is no shortcut to developing skill
small morale boosts go a long way. But an oil check is shorter and faster.
I typically roll with higher belts.
I already have my blue since 2020 but i don't feel comfortable paying for an exam, so I'll just sandbag forever
Pay for an exam? What is that?
@@Gm-ok1zb some academies do a "test" to see if you're worthy of a belt. Some of them as well make you pay for the test
@@Gm-ok1zb A bad practice that is used in my actual gym.

@@Flbari my gym don’t even do test, they just promote when they feel that u have been coming to enough practices and acc put in work
@@kosmc3257 Yes wasn't really a test was more like a surprise shark tank
a service you pay for.. yer still clean the matts tho mate.. liked the vid up untill then, if you ever get to go to japan or any other contry where martialarts has been around for a while, everyone cleans the matts or helps with something after the session ;)
a sign of respect.. specially for the lower belts showing respect to the coach and the gym
Better get your belt later than earlier . Believe me
Yeah….. but what about the white belt who WANTS (so badly) to live roll, positional spar, or anything beyond solely fundamentals drill class… buuuut can’t until 2 stripes because of gym policy.
(Also… yes, go figure, stripes are calendar based and nothing much to do to speed up the process….)
Change gyms...
Get a better gym. I started at a gracie barra gym like that, got first few stripes purely on attendance as well. Changed gyms, took those stripes off, never looked back.
ok how do i quickly get my purple belt now
100 days? I got my fourth white belt stripe 9 months in

Going on 4 and a half years as a white belt, hopefully I'll make it to blue in May.

Honestly I question any school that would give out a blue belt in less then a year. (If you’re coming from a zero background in martial arts)… If you have any interest in doing a competition, take my advice and slow down. Don’t rush to get that blue belt because once you do, you can never go back. Spend as much time as you can at white and milk it. Learn all you can and compete every chance you get. Lose your ego and respect the white. I promise, the higher belts have more respect for the white belt that keeps coming, then the black belt whose tapping everyone.
I'd rather be a white belt with the skills of a blue belt than a blue belt with the skills of a white belt
This is what I’m concerned about, since my coach says he is promoting me next week and I’ve only being training a year.
Gata let go of the ego and disregard belts all together
I thought there was a minimum 2 years before you could get a blue belt...?
You forgot: Don't get injured
