Competing sounds more ego than skill and experience. Looking at your skills, you were far from ready for a competition, especially your cardio. Without cardio and skills, your brain isn't learning anything you don't already know - you're seeing your mistakes from being fatigued. Hopefully people thinking of competition dedicate more time to cardio and skill.

Great job rolling with the new white belt!

Digging the haircut and the white belt abuse.❤

You're an inspiration man

good job

Good, humble, inspirational!

Just came across this! My 10 year old has been rolling a couple months and just picked up his first stripe. He got me into taking classes and on my 2nd class they put me in a round robin for 20 mins at the end of the class 😂 the objective was to pass or sweep closed guard and take side control. I did ok considering I had no idea what I was doing, and somehow stayed on for 3 rounds against much younger guys (I’m 49 😂). After the 3rd round I was gassed so hard I had to give up my spot because I couldn’t continue! Totally feel that embarrassment you describe…was mortifying! Tell me it gets better bro?! 😂😂 great video 👌

I thought I was the only one gassed on my first roll 😂

Heck ya Rob!!!! Way to sign for that Worlds! 🎉 You got this and I’ll be rooting for you!

You roll like a white belt bro. Love the videos and voice over but you'll get smashed at worlds.

What's with the stranger things music.

Yo im using this

Elderly can do Jiu-Jitsu and disabled people too.❤Do whatever your body type allows to the best of your ability ❤.

Not everything has to be fast to be effective, good job man 👍💪

Love that fake scissor into triangle. Something to try!

Thanks Rob! Looks like a tough roll that. Got my blue last wknd, so keep the content coming please 🥋🙏🏻

Great time man, thanks for the rolls!

Man, I can't believe you had those first THREE comp rounds back to back. That is terrible luck. I had about an hour in between first and second, and I swear I needed so much time to get my HR down. My left tricep was going into spasm. It was like I was going into shock. You're a hero for stepping into that third round.. I can't even imagine. The burn is real. There's no real preparation for the intensity of competition. Pressure and adrenaline.. thanks for posting, I appreciate the honesty.

amazing dojo name ''cobra kai'' 😁😁🐍☯🥋👊

What weight and age bracket was this?

You did well man!

Man! I wanted you to wrap his left arm and hook his leg at 1:50 or so!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great job

44 years old white belt here going into my first comp. today. Thanks for sharing this video with us and good job on making it through back to back to back fights.

Hell yeah bro, I'll be at Worlds too (Masters 2 / Middleweight). Best of luck!

About to do my first comp as a white belt. Thanks for posting

Man I’ve been watching your videos since the start, I’m loving seeing the growth in your channel and Jitsu! Good luck at Worlds!!

You being exhausted isn’t pathetic man. You’re doing so much more than an overwhelming majority of people at any age group much less 30-40 year olds. Youre a warrior for going forward and not quitting.

Watching this to prepare for my first match 6 months in 1 stripe white belt got 2 months to prepare nice video

Do people in their 50s ever compete in BJJ tournaments?

Rob, As a 55 yr old just in his first week of JJ, I'm so green (and sore) this is all like a foreign language to me. Really enjoy your explanation and I look forward to the day all of this seems obvious and elementary. Thanks for the vids and all the help.

39 year old 165# 2 strip white belt here. 40 in may. Started bjj last August , I injured a rib about a month in to my training where I did an awkward half cartwheel guard pass attempt (forgot my age for a minute there) and landed on my team mates knee. That knocked me out for almost 3 weeks. Everything hurt , hurt to pull, push , breath. Never got it checked out but it was painful. Made a full recovery there. Love your videos bud. Congrats on the blue belt by the way .

I really enjoyed watching this. I am only three weeks into BJJ and I got so excited and was shouting 'go on' when you applied the triangle. Hats off to you for entering any tournament as they must be nerve wracking enough. Amazing effort!

Awesome post - keep em coming. This has inspired me to start competing.

Fun to watch this one. Seeing the difference between blue and white followed by purple vs. blue was a great contrast. Great job. Hope that knee heals up well for you.

awesome video!

Do you live in AZ?

one other suggestion: when rolling with elijah, if he favors putting himself into top half, then check out the choi bar setup. it's a slick way to get a strong clamp on the nearside arm (the one that's trying to crossface you) while simultaneously using a strong knee shield. it kills his chance to kimura you like he has been, and now allows you to attack. i personally switch back and forth from threatening the choi bar to scooping that nearside leg to enter into leglocks. both the choi bar and the leg lock entry use a bit of inversion, but nothing too crazy. i used to hate getting stuck in bottom half with guys like elijah, but now i am the one purposely putting myself there, and my opponents usually dont know how to deal with it. choi bars (or even just entering the legs) are hard to stop if done correctly. oss

i didnt rewatch the vid but the purple passed pretty effortlessly at least twice, and on the first one you mentioned a sao paulo pass, did he do it on the 2nd one also? either way, there are tons of youtube vids on how to counter, or at the very least defend, every pass imaginable. just me .02 and is a good way to shore up your defense if it's getting past your guard consistently.

Hi - Purple Belt here. at 5:32 when you pull guard, have you ever considered going right into New Jersey utilizing the Rubber Guard. I mean, you swing your leg over that arm you have omaplata, gogoplata set ups, along with meathook variations, gogoclinch and hindilutines. you can also hit my favorite move, the Carni where you swing that leg over his arm (kinda of like an omaplata) but then you straighten out ur opposite butterfly hook (which stops him from rolling forwards). Great content otherwise, keep it up.

Nice of you to pull him into closed guard. I’ve seen so many white belts make that mistake and get their knees caught up under them. It can be brutal and dangerous if you aren’t flexible

Nice man! Keep it up!

Your vids helps me, I dislocated my elbow rolling so i been out for a month. The mental rolls helps me hopefully I’ll be ok to get on the mats soon enough. Keep going.

Jujitsu gay? No. But you two are making it hard to disprove this myth. 😑

Great job, everyone who's competed understands the fatigue that you're talking about, after my first competition match my body was destroyed and it stayed like that for like 3 days, those 5 minutes in comp felt harder than 30 minutes of straight sparring.

I did my first white belt competition a while ago, it’s really hard and new it’s not like a rolling with partners it’s so much harder and so much pressure. Thank you for making a video.🎉🎉
