      @NW Oista Yup, seen it, lots of guys quit at purple belt, they stop coming to class and they come weeks later and get manhandled like rag dolls by lower belts. Seen it.. I don't want that to happen to me, that's why I go to class every day. If I am injured, I just do the technique and go home.

    attacks for days
    have telepathy and know your move before you do it
    not above destroying a lower belt for shits and giggles
    humble enough to teach the lower belts something new

    I received my Purple belt 2.5 months ago. For some time I was the only female (now have some new female students) and also more than 20 years older than most of the male students. I so often questioned my ability, but a very dedicated, persistent Coach made sure I was in class 5-6 days a week. I continue to question my ability. I have to respect my Coaches decision to promote me to Purple belt. I am able to 'construct a sentence' as is said in the video- but 'my grammar needs help '.

      @@BM-of6dg Hi- progress is good? I continue training 5-6 days a week. I just received my first stripe on my Brown belt. I’m able to chain submission attacks together etc. Although I am told my technique is good and I use it well when rolling with the stronger, quicker 20-30ish guys; I sometimes feel like a Brown belt fake. This is due to competition. Or the lack of. Several of our team members have competed. I have not. There has not been any competitors in my age, belt level at the competitions that my teammates have gone to. That is one reason. Truth be told, even if there were I not sure I would compete? I‘ve been told the best place to find fellow competitors would be at the World’s Masters - usually in Las Vegas. But, most competing in it would have prior competition experience. So, not a good idea? My Coach always says he doesn’t care whether someone competes or not. I think for me it would be facing a fear? Also as I train predominantly with men I really don’t know how my BJJ is when compared to another female at the same belt level and the same age range.

      @@cynthiageskes1457 I'm sure you're a brown belt. A part of it is time and dedication. Your coach has observed you vs the men and you're probably doing all the right things. It's not always about competitions.

    I've heard the martial-art-as-language analogy before, but never in such depth. As usual, impeccable technique demonstration as well. What I love about your videos is that you give them a lot more thought than the average demo you find on youtube that seems to have been done with little to no planning and consideration for production. Thanks for raising the bar.

    Very nicely done. Just train and the skill will come. You will get smoother with transitions and get better at setting techniques up. Train smart too. Train with people of all levels. Don't train a 100% everyday. By that I mean don't feel you have to go for the kill everyone you train with someone. To flow and transition smoothly you have to move as much as you can when you have the opportunity.

    He flowed from one to the other. When his partner escaped or blocked a technique, he transitioned to another. If you listened to the description, transitioning smoothly from one position/technique to another is what he says basically makes a purple belt.

    @pedro90 actually, in American kickboxing, there is a MINIMUM of 6 kicks per round, not a maximum. I believe this was mainly due to the fact that most kickboxing matches were turning into what looked like regular boxing matches because the variety of kicks that you can utilize in American kickboxing was already so limited that a lot of fighters found it more efficient to take kicks out of their game all together and just straight up box their opponents.

    @sonnych69 Newaza in judo is not the same as modern BJJ. there was a time when that statement was correct, but too many people have have had there hands in BJJ for it to be the same as Newaza, either kosen or Kodokan. In judo there are no leg-locks permitted or even leg takedowns anymore. you also don't have spider guard, mantis guard, x guard, twister control, or any of the eddie bravo marcelo garcia inventions.

  • @scnarb
    @scnarb Před 12 lety

    Good video although I'd say a blue belt is more like simple, incomplete phrases that are still meaningful like, "me go poop", or "me want eat food." A purple is like, "I'd like something to eat please." A brown is like, "My blood sugar is low thus I need to provide nourishment to my bodily organs in the form of simple carbohydrates and lipids." Or something like that. At black belt you're speaking total gibberish in the eyes of everyone else because you're so advanced.

  • @usbsol
    @usbsol Před 3 lety

    Interesting analogy... but... learning a language does not happen very fast if you only learn single words... grammar helps alot as well as patterns of syntax and a safe practise space... in BJJ principle based teaching makes everything easier and faster... as well as rolling without submissions but only with positional control.

    @sonnych69 Newaza is limited to a very small window of oppurtunity, where as BJJ is not. its like saying american kickboxing- which allows 6 kicks per round, is the same as muay thai. if your stalling in BJJ your stood up too. I never brought up anything about Kosen not being good for MMA. you'd have to make some modifications to it be prepared for some more modern techniques- particularly nogi stuff, but its not illegal.
