BJJ: Journey to Brown Belt

What should the focus be on your journey towards brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? We discuss the NXG Combat Sports methodology and areas to achieve on this path. While all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is related, we understand each academy has their own vibe, methodology and expectations... these are ours!

Amazing point about purple being a part of the game where your toolbox can be black belt level at some points. Writing this down ✍️🏿

This is the best description I have heard. Very practical!

Might need your OP desperatly. 51 here, 20 years of grappling. Seasoned blue, crossed my grappling with 25 years of amateur comp boxing and wrestling (freestyle and greco). I fell in love with Prriitt Mihkelson, Dean Lister, Jeff Glover and AG Algarazam full court defensive grappling. If I cant beat a superior grappler, then I'll revert back to my A game, defense. I know its weird, go watch Priitt Mihkelson's seminars to get an idea of how I roll. Am I heading the wrong way or should I just do my thing and call it defense BJJ.
I can actually sub 95% of white belts, 70% of blues and 20% of purples. Thanks in advance.

Great 👍🏼 stuff - like the analogy - 55 1/2 year old 2 stripe purple - any advice for an older purple is welcome - just subscribed….

Never got a stripe on my purple belt.

Ive been a purple belt over 5 years. I switched schools been at it almost 2 years 3 or 4 times a week.

My heart sank once i realized my professor wasnt gonna give me a stripe for a long time.

Yes my feelings are hurt. I feel like im just passing through this school until i move again and im trying to be serious and consistent.

I've seen others not as skilled as me getting brown belts especially those that kiss the professors ass.

My purple belt is literally dissolving.

I just feel discouraged.

Do purple belts need to compete to make it to brown belt?

Too heavy on the tools and tradesmen metaphors. Would of preferred to hear it in jiu jitsu terms. Especially because this video is for those who are advancing to their brown belt. Don’t need the metaphors. We understand bjj.
