100% of BJJ White Belts should do these 4 things to Improve

In today's video, I will address 4 strategies you can use to improve more as a BJJ White Belt.

In a recent video, I talked about higher belts in Jiu-Jitsu and some strategies we can use to improve, so I thought I'd follow up with some tips that I used a lot as a beginner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I love the advice. When I was a white belt, focusing on one position at a time was good for me. Survival from the major positions, then escape, then guard, then counters.

1. Be consistent.
2. Ask questions.
3. Work on pin escapes.
4. Be patient.

Great tips! Thanks for clarifying the bell ringing in the background 😂 I wasn’t sure I was hearing it on the video or somewhere nearby.

Love your Chanel keep up the great work, can you talk about cauliflower ears, when I started about 8 years ago I wish someone had told me that was a thing my ears got destroyed within 7 months of training, a guy at my gym asked me how he can avoid them so I’m sure many people have the same questions, if you can elaborate on that I’m sure it will help a lot of new guys starting out..thank you!

I am not a white belt, far from it. That last thought about getting the next belt is interesting. Been a blue since 2005. Did a lot, A LOT of crosstraining cause I loved to compete (amateur boxing).

I was writing into my personal note yesterday: lot of people crave after getting the next belt and ceremonial. I reverse the scheme. I need the skill, 2nd, to be healthy doing BJJ for years, last, the ceremonial. But that 3rd might never come, cause I moved so often city to city in the last years, it might be hard for a bjj instructor to catch me on time to hand me my next belt. In the meantime, my skill set are blue/purple belt-ish. I am seriously manhandling 8 blue belt students out of ten its crazy.

I can hang with purple, like submitting few of em on rare occasions. Took a me a while to get there. Private classes, drill, drill and more drill. You want to drill most moves till they become second nature while you roll, so today, I can minimize those thinking windows on the mat, cause 99% high level guys dont really think when they roll, reason why they re often ahead of the regular bjj student.
Recently I discovered how to jack my game rolling with white and blue belts. Upperbelts are now my main event of the evening.
My main new goal is no longer the next belt. I have better more relevant goals that will motivate me. Stripes and belts dont do nothing to me now. My next goal is to roll with an actual or former D1 wrestler, sambo decent guy, active bjj black belt, o on and so forth.

I like how humble and hungry he is even at his level he thinks he sucks... any other good grappler can relate

1. Try to win every round (why would you want to lose)
2. Crank on submissions in training (it's more realistic)
3. Show up to seminars and new gyms and challenge whoever is teaching (they'll love your ambition)
4. If you lose a tournament, you need to start steroids, ASAP.
