When I got my blue belt and immediately had serious imposter syndrome, it felt so strange. I think part of the problem that no one seems to talk about is that suddenly all the coloured belts stop being so gentle with you (the training wheels are off) and all the other white belts suddenly really desperately want to tap you. Your in a weird situation where you have advanced a level but everything has suddenly gotten 5x harder and more difficult.

Quitting bjj is the most rational thing to do at any point

I was only a white belt. I quit two times. I would have loved to continue, but working shift and with little spare time there was too many training session that I could not attend. So if I learned a new technique it was often not possible to come to the next session when the class was repeating the technique. And I also could not see the new techniques that where show when I could not attend. Also when I did attend and it was hard to remember the techniques when drilling with a partner it was seldom anyone who stopped and helped even if the techniques why tried to do was clearly wrong. That was a real time waste. You could argue that you will learn more BJJ if train than if you don`t, but its to ineffective to try to learn BJJ like that. I would have continued with BJJ if we could have gotten videos on the curriculum that way it would be possible to absorb the techniques before and after the training. I tried many times searching for the videos on the techniques we had in class, but it`s to many variables on the same techniques so it was almost impossible to find videos identical to what we trained on in class. Also very often the techniques taught in class did not have any name, making it even harder to find videos on them.

I started MMA when I was 7, quit when I was 11. Was a Red/Black. Trained 1 on 1 with the 10th degree black belt. I knew almost all the katas and was helping teach bo staff and other weapons classes. Hearing Juijistu being 5 years for only a blue belt... I could never.

Money, and too much diddy things happening in bjj. I'm good with Dutch kickboxing.

Paused the video, and kept the vid on paused for my 2 week break. Just did my first roll and now im a brown belt :o

Do you think injury is big factor?

Ouch... Poor Chaz

The intro 😂😂😂 Poor Chaz.

that is great advice. That's the reason i take my kids to jiu jitsu. I hope they don't quit.

Make the talking-head video frame closer to you. The closer your image is to the audience, the more engaging the video is. Audio is great btw. Keep up the great work!

Great stuff man, i really needed to hear this.

You are making amazing videos❤❤❤❤ I noticed your RUclips channel and you're doing great! I have seen all your videos and your content qualities are excellent but still it is not delivering the right audience due to SEO problems. Focusing on your SEO to get a big fanbase would be best. I have some ideas on how to boost your audience and engagement. Would you like to talk about it for a while? Let's talk and I'll share my strategies with you.

GH Edwardsville has great culture!

Is that me on the thumbnail

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you’re a woman, don’t be intimidated to come try a class! We have a great group of ladies and all are encouraging and helpful. ❤

Short, hairy, and cat like. Are all of these attributes obtainable at GHE?

One of the best things Joe has ever told me: "Jiu Jitsu is a dance, and it's all about getting to the next move before your partner."

Short

Hmmmm. I may have been in a trance staring...probably thinking how I'm gonna forget how to do this technique in 15 seconds 😂 Great video! So glad I made the switch to Gracie Humaita Edwardsville. Joe is a great coach and friend!

Hairy😂. Great vid!

Thanks for the homework Joe!

Commenting to boost engagement

Thanks for the video! The content you shared is impressive

What are some takedowns and things I can learn for rolling against people bigger than me I got tossed around lol

Thank you.

Great perspective that I have heard you mention many times but this video really drove home the point.

Thanks for watching!

Agreement 🌹

Thanks for the great video!! Ya'll are killing it.

thanks for posting these!

Awesome! It’s a great drill. A little tricky at first but very beneficial once you get it down!

Thanks so much man. I've been doing this movement wrong, and didn't realize there were applications for it (since i'm new to the sport). Nice style of tutorial, keen to see more.

Very sound advice. 63 and just starting out. Having fun and learning a lot. Glad I joined the party bit late but Im there.

Black gi’s are badass “death shrouds”!

Yes on color gi’s!

#teamwhitegi 😂

Great perspective on burn out! Thanks, Professor.
