Starting to transition smotthly from one to another position while keeping control all the time just feels sooo good! At white belt I just got smeshed....

Been doing jiu-jitsu since 2003. I’m 40 years old and just recently started rolling again, after a 6 year hiatus. One thing I noticed….at 40, it’s way easier to quite my brain and to focus on technique, breathing, getting into position before I do anything. There is zero rush. I’ve been wearing a blue belt since 2007. Just never found a spot that I could stick to for a long period of time (I’m in the Army and move a lot). At this point, if I get a purple belt that’d be cool….but I like where my brain is right now, as opposed to when I was younger. Zero rush.

I learn some modern day tech but it's mostly for exercise. It keeps me young and mobile. I use to be a metal chaser and not a belt chaser. Now I train because I still can. Once the injuries catch up, I'll know to slow down or quit. One of the most important things that I do which was mentioned in this vid. Is to take care of your body.

Went back about four years ago trained two years got my blue belt, then stopped when Covid hit because I am an EMT and had to work on the ambulance. Came back about 4 months ago and now continuing on. I def have a different mentality now than in my younger years. It's a marathon not a sprint and I'm in for the long haul. Still train at the same gym and dudes I started with are now OG black belts but they respect the grind.

I felt like I didnt deserve my rank. I recently competed and did surprisingly well. It got rid of that feeling of being an imposter. The best way to look at it is your teammates know how you roll. Those rolls are going to be harder than what they are against people you dont know. You're not a 4 stripe brown belt for nothing, and the same can be said when you get your black belt.

I totally agree that at black it’s when you start to really learn and understand jiu jitsu I honestly feel like I know absolutely nothing about jiu jitsu and hate being this old with a black belt. To all the younger folks stick with it and tap early, also relax on the spazzing out and power lifting strength lol not every roll is a tournament roll, us oldies aren’t rolling to the death. Also I’d say just enjoy the journey and the art, it truly is for me something that I’ll have in my life until I die. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

Life long white belt here. As a white belt currently i do consistently tap out blue and purple belts. Never tapped out a brown or a black belt before unless they were letting me work (quite impossible to tap them out and to even get out of a bad position). I did start when i was 10 and did it for 2 and a half yrs earning a gray belt and then covid came stopped doing it and then picked it up again at 16 and had to start over at white belt. And only do it a couple months out of the yr cause of sports that i do for my school one being wrestling which has helped my jiujitsu. And this summer tho i improved a lot cause of the guidanxe and the internet which is why im now consistentely tapping out blue and purple and white belts that r a lot bigger then me. And i am in the phase where i let people get me into bad postions and i work on my technique from there.

I'm in kind of a weird situation as a white belt. I'm a 6ft 200lb American living in a rural town in Japan and going to a super small gym (it's the only one in town). I'm having an absolute blast, but I'm also WAY bigger than everyone else. So survival is fairly easy. I've only been at it for a year, so everything is still new, and I don't really have much of an idea of how to develop any kind of an attack, but defense isn't too hard and I think it's largely just because of the size difference.

Taekwondo in some cases: Your belt defies your money (Though it still a good martial arts, but the training and belt system cost alot of money)

I'm a about to be a 3rd degree Black Belt. So, not only do I have to judge students in determining their promotions (which can be for many reasons) and convince them that they deserve it. I have had imposter syndrome at every belt always trying to give them back. But I'm also a small 50 yr old with 18 yrs of beating my body up. So much that I feel like I'm not as good as I was as a high purple or brown. I can't recover fast enough anymore, I'm not as fast and athletic anymore, and my body just doesn't feel as strong. I have to keep my A game on to not be submitted by my own students. It sucks getting old bc you eventually start the downhill run. Also, that's not how you use "begging the question". (didn't realize my wife was logged into YT)

2 stripe white belt here. That survival bit hit hard lmao. I noticed when I first started I used to think I didn't have a good body type for bottom guards (6'1'' with most of the length in my legs). 20 months in and all of a sudden my de la riva feels just as natural as breathing. If I've got more and more revelations like that all throughout my career then I know picking this up will have been the best decision I've ever made.

The same thing happened to me with my half guard and butterfly guard. At first i was like this does not feel right but after 7 months of training they feel so natural

Something I was told by my instructor when I did Japanese JiuJitsu: "Black belt doesn't mean you've mastered the entire. It means you have mastered the basics."

Firstly, I am sitting watching this video in the same shirt as you. Haha. Secondly, major imposter syndrome here. Just got my blue belt. Feel like I know nothing still and should be so much better to be here. Just trying to convince myself that it is only the second belt level, not the final one. I don't have to know everything, and be able to beat everyone (especially as a woman in a gym nearly completely filled with men). But I just have to keep working and finding my 'speciality'.

I’ve had fun the whole time, it’s not a sport to me. In my world, it’s exercise and learning self defense skills that comes with a great community of people that many have turned into great friends.

This video is spot on, I got my brown a few months back and have hated ever since... lmfao, easy rolls are a thing of the past, death match city. I can see how one gets to the black belt after surviving this level. Purple was the easiest....the good ole days. :(

When i got my blue belt i had decent standup (from judo not from bjj), hard to pass guard (for a white belt) and could do some subs from closed guard, but i couldn't do a single sweep. Now after two years sweeps start to work, i have two favourite submissions (armbar and guillotine) but i am trash in so many positions especially with GI, i feel like i should be purple NOGI and white GI. But i can notice my progress and feels good.
