1. Invent a time machine
2. Force 4 year old you to train BJJ
3. Get black belt at 19
🤣🤣🤣🤣
and then go win worlds at blue, purple, and brown each year hahahahaha
@@GenoGenovTihoonen and finally keep doing whole life your intermitent fast eating only one time at night your own pizza and pasta that you cook. No delivery calls bra! Thats for the weaklings
Philosophy: I won my medals and immediately went back to training the next day.
Serious respect. Well done!
Train as a kid for years so you’ll be black belt level when you get your blue 🤷🏻♂️. That’s how to go from blue to black in 2 years. There are plenty of 16 year olds that have black belt skills at blue because they’ve been training for a decade already.
I don’t doubt that the kid busted his ass, but I definitely feel like it’s a little misleading blue to black in two years. But he’d been training as a child for near a decade or more before even getting his blue belt
"Like I am a blue belt for about 10 months and now a Blackbelt." Said a 18 years old boy that train Judo and BJJ since 4 years old.
That's exactly what I was thinking. This video title is misleading, this kid has been in BJJ for a long ass time
Exactly. Max time at greenbelt.
true, I think the fear is that if you don't have certain rules it would wind up like TKD with 11 and 12 year old black belts, back in the day Karate had a minimum age for BB of 15 1/2 years old but most places dont even do that anymore .... at the same time Ive I think there is a fear in BJJ of so and so Higher Belt losing to a Higher Belt or Blue Belts staying as a Blue belt for years on end trying to win Worlds or something like that
Start BJJ at 4 years old. The vast majority of BJJ Fanatics ain't doing that.
1. Don’t have a job 2. Live with your parents. 3. Live at your school/academy . There I cleaned it up for you.
Lmao literally thoughts I’ve had if I ever wanted to try to get a black belt as fast as possible
Start when you're 4... and do the OMAD diet as well.
I just bought one from amazon.
i mean, the kid trained for 30 years before he was 19 so yeah i would think hes a blackbelt. when i see a kid with a green belt, i automatically think "purple belt level with an obsession level of a kid cracked out on fortnite"
I trained with Mikey , class act and hardest working “kid” I met, along with his sister. It’s just years of grinding and positive mental attitude that it boils down to
Love how he doesn’t mention the whole training since he was 4 part.
Lmaoooo exactly I’m like “this is a good marketing tech for white belts” lol
Cool story bro. But the description says from blue to black
@@justinwest317 and Bernardo is asking him how he got from blue to black in 2 years. So training since you're 4years old is a huge factor
@@justinwest317 yeah and it's a lot easier to go from blue to black in 2 years when you're a green belt with 11 years experience rolling competitively with brown belts at 15 years old.
Mikey was a blue belt because his coach technically followed the rules, correctly I agree, when Mikey aged out of the juvenile belts.
From his BJJ Heroes page: "Michael started learning jiu-jitsu at the age of 4 with coach Fernando “Cabeça” at Fatijo’s Martial Arts Academy. He remained under Cabeça’s guidance until his 10th birthday, when Musumeci and his family moved to Wellington, Florida.
In Florida, Michael continued his jiu-jitsu journey at Marcelo Ribeiro’s gym. This relationship didn’t last long as Ribeiro moved to Texas shortly after. The Musumeci’s then joined coach Emyr “Shark” Bussade of American Top Team. At Bussade’s academy, Michael received his green and blue belts."
So, assuming he got his blue belt at 16, when he was first eligible, he had 12 years experience at that point. If he was 18 when he got his black belt, he had 14 years experience. This is exactly how the second, third, and fourth generation Gracies got their black belts at age 18. They were also already training for 14 years by age 18.
This young man deserves everything he has.
Kron didn't get promoted to blackbelt until he was 19 years old, and I think he was promoted a few month before the 2008 worlds, making him almost 20 before he got blackbelt.
This kids attitude about training is why he’s that good, win a tourney then train the next day. Get promoted, train the next day as well. He gets it and not many do.
Summary:
You have to be in highschool where school work is negligible.
You have to be young where you can beat your body over and over and still recover fast from it.
You have to look at jiu jitsu on youtube.
Don't even focus on the belt just train.
Thank you Bernardo for all your work and positive energy! Cool to see some Musumeci content! Thank you!
Hmm, he was a juvenile blue. Most juvenile blues have been training for 6-8 years. They're basically the "black belts" of the kids division. Not taking anything away from Mikey, it's still super impressive, but black belt in 2 years is not a realistic goal for adults who start training with a job and family.
exactly!
Under Lovato Jr you only get 1 credit per night of training and you need 74 hrs each stripe after you get blue. I went through intense gauntlet style testing through all stripes white belt, yellow,orange,green, then blue. Almost three years to get blue belt, 11-12 for black
Here's the secret as an adult. Sandbag your ass off and dodge promotions for 11 years.
Most of us will never be at this level. I won’t and I’m totally fine with that. Do JJ for your own reasons and be honest with yourself. Love training and learning more than you love winning. Don’t take any of it that seriously. We all end up in the same place after all.
It's about the journey. Great comment my friend.
“You kind of have to be crazy.”
Yup lol
Mikey trained every single day in the gym and at home. He also has his sister who is a badass to train with as well as competed regularly. Lastly he obviously has some natural talent as well. All of these things lead to quick progression that very few should expect to attain at the same timeframe. I love Mikey he is a good egg.
LOL...I'm 44 years old and can appreciate what this kid is saying. However, he's an alien to me :)
Most of these comments are so sad. This guy has dedicated his life to a craft that he loves and 75 percent of the people in the same craft can't get past their own inadequacies to appreciate his success. They are so willing to hear the secret of "how to go from blue belt to black belt in two years" but when it doesn't say what they want they make all of the excuses. I suggest you choose another craft. Video games maybe, you can buy the cheat codes with your credit card there.
Props to you Mikey. My son is a juvenile blue and he trains 3 to 4 hrs 6 days a week and has a 4.0 average. I watch him work his butt off every day. You are doing it and doing right. You have great energy and passion and the sport will only get better because of athletes like you.
Met a guy that began BJJ in the mid 90s. A four stripe white belt!!, it is awesome to see him roll with the black belts.
He seems like such a nice dude !
Basically count hours, instead of years
Any quick advancement in understanding comes from continual focused dedication. Most people go to an average gym 2-3 hours a week who have other careers and responsibilities. It's not magic to say you will become the 1% of competitors if you dedicate your full-time gig to jiujitsu, train practically every day, and train with and get trained by the very best in the world, same with most any trade. Wish this video would have been a better use of explanation for the average player, like ...dedicate your focus on a specific game development, have focused training sessions on this, etc., instead of "Well, I just train all the time"
Started my kid in jiujitsu 6 months ago. He is grey/white now
Honestly BJJ is about what it can do for you. It’s a journey. A lifestyle. A process. Just enjoy it, and if you’re fortunate enough through a combination of hard work and talent to go pro and compete, then do your thing!
I want Bernardo to invite the founder of the hair club for men and do an interview. "Huge honor for me".
Basically, unless you are BJ Penn you cannot get a black belt in 2 years unless you're black belt level when you get to blue at 16
Travis Stevens - but he was an Olympic Judoka... so maybe a small head start.
BJJ is LIFE.
How to go from blue to black in 2 years. 1 - win worlds at blue. 2 - win worlds at purple. 3 - win worlds at brown. Just do it folks.
i trained almost everyday day as a white belt and was almost there for the blue belt but the pandemic made me stop 🛑 ...as soon as I get the blue belt I’ll take your advice
same boat. I am the only one from my academy that stop training. Almost a year now!!! it is killing me.
No shortcuts in BJJ.
This dude reminds me of a weird looking Dave Franco.
some bitter adults in these comments... Props to Mikey! Lots of obsession and time investment is the only way to blackbelt.
Jealousy
@3:22 is gold
So how long did he actually train BJJ before he got his black belt?
40 year old middle aged men watching this video: "So I have to ignore my wife and children and all my other responsibilities (besides working a 9 to 5 job) in order to get my black belt in the next two years? My house will be a wreck, I'll be getting a divorce, my children will hate me, but I'll have a black belt?"
Mikey's story is a great one and he inspires me but this idea is more for kids in high school or college or maybe just a bachelor.
Yeah and he already had lots of training.
Be a prodigy, ok got it.
can you do this with Ciao Terra also please :)
How can you win on every belt worlds, go from blue to black in two years if there is only one worlds per year?
Say in Jan 2019 he won blue belt worlds and was promoted to purple. In Jan 2020 he won purple belt world and got promoted to Brown. So in Jan 2021 he compete and win Worlds as brown belt and get promoted to black belt. So two years between end of blue to start of black. Three world championships.
Simple, easy. Just win blue, purple and brown worlds
Badass
what do you mean its not possible to jump that fast to black belt? There is a new rule now?
Well said the ibjjf have rules a certain time frame between belts this must be before they were in place
I'm not much for medals personally. We do compete but we don't give belts based on just competitions. There's a bunch of other stuff we look at to promote someone. But to each their own
Hello sir your comment caught my attention. Out of curiosity what in detail do you look for.
@@johnblaze4464 I look at how our students help their teammates on and off the mats, are my students staying humble? are they good listeners...for example do they apply The different techniques we are showing or at least attempting them to see if certain moves work for them or not. Are they attending class frequently? Are they being a good role model? Are they practicing their defense and not just showing up to class and beating up on their teammates? This is key to ensure people stay in the "forever a student" mentality...if people are allowed to go into class and never work defense or be in bad positions then they feel that they do not need to learn very much anymore. So I am constantly making sure that we are not just tapping people out. We want to be getting Tapped Out ourselves so we can constantly seek to better our defense and better our game in general. And the main thing I look at is , can they teach? This one is very important to me because when I put them to teach someone or a class I can see and hear if they teach correctly, not leave any steps out, and how good they can explain a move to somebody. it's important that we remember how good we teach because their health and physical well being is in our hands.
Agreed. Tournament winning is all it is. You can find a person who is amazing teacher, extremely technical and has an amazing understanding of technique and flow. But is shite in tournament, this same person may also have actual usage in self defense just by luck in life or career. But primarily if you can display knowledge amd those you’ve taught or worked are excelling by association I think is a factor as well.
That he was given those promotions purely as a "medal" is just an assumption though. He's been doing bjj since he was 4, so he's had plenty time to develop in all the areas you describe. I've heard of instructors that hold their students back from promotions they deserve, because they want them to have a chance of doing well before moving up and potentially get destroyed. That might be what happened in his case, and the promotions would then in fact be overdue. Also, I've only seen one of his instructionals, but the details and his level of understanding compared to others deeply impressed me.
@@kkb6543 I'm Just going off what he said in the video. That he got promoted to purple and brown belt on the podium a year apart. Seems odd to me. I'm from a way different era and I'm old lol so I'm just used to the old ways of having people wait and show us what they bring to the table before being promoted
Compete alot and win.
It sounds like a race to get to black belt for everyone, I'd rather go back to white belt and hide out there for the rest of my journey :)
Have a match with Thalison
So you are telling me if I put to sleep Buchecha, Galvao, Ryan and Roger I can get my Coraline Belt mmmm I'll do it
Jesus saves. Love you guys. A
YAUSHA saves.
How long do you think his enthusiasm would have lasted if he was forced to take a minimum number of years before he was awarded each belt?
BJJ belt system is broken. 😞
i'm learning that more and more every day. at first i didn't care about belts i just wanted to train.. now i'm at a purple belt level but carry a blue with no stripes. i'm going to be pretty pissed if i ever get a one stripe blue
TBH i think it would be much cooler to stay a white belt forever, but beat every black belt you meet as though they were white belts. its the accumulation of skill that matters, not belt colour
You assume belt colour is to do with ego... its to denote your training and understanding. To stay white belt forever would not reflect your training.
that’s not what Jiu jitsu is about, that said: No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. Period.
sounds like a fun exercise to try out though eh?
What about your homework young man??
Awesome accomplishment and hard work, but he didn't get it in 2 years. He started training at 4 or 5.
Also, this kid has ADDERALL written all over him.
Kid seems like hes on the spectrum. Could also be why hes so good
That’s exactly what i’ve been thinking: spectrum + natural talent + hard work + opportunity/supportive family = one of the best in the world.
Sounds like a awkward nerd......who probably choke me out to next week😂
👀
These belt systems are not functional. There are plenty of lower belts who could compete at the black belt level. They just aren't given a chance. Look at wrestling. There are no belts. Yet new people are given a chance.
I mean its great an all that he is so successful and im happy it worked out for him but how does this advice help the average person whose not in high school and cant just commit basically all their time to one thing? It seems kind of more like a how one person did it not a how to blue print.
Belts don’t matter
'Blackbelt' should take less than a year if you actually practice and roll. And study instead of just checking out after you leave class and don't think about it again until you show up for the next one. And what is a 'blackbelt' really any way
So basically he was nearly black belt level as he was wearing a blue belt.
I mean he started training at like 4 or some shit so yeah
Sandbagging
This is stupid. How to get black belt in two years....train for 13 years before you turn 18.
It’s so funny how fast people can be black belt in U.S during in Europe people have to train BJJ 15 years to become a black belt . Personally I favour Europe’s way of BJJ development.
Mikey is not an example you want to use when looking at how fast people get promoted in the U.S lmao. Also, he started training at the age of 4, so obviously hes put the time in to be a black belt at 18/19.
@@Pandarus123 yes of course you have right . My comment was about general habit .
@@BM-rf2lm belts should be about skill, knowledge and understanding not time..
The average in the United States is 10-15 years as well. Like the other guy said, Mikey started training at 4 years old and competing super young too. So by the time he reached that age, he was promoted rapidly, but already had like 12+ years of training and competing. The only way you’re getting a black belt here in under 10 years is to either have lots of natural talent or train 5+ days a week and compete a lot.
one minute into the video; borderline everybody that embraced the journey and experience is immediately offended by this blasphemy. Doing well on a test doesn't dictate that type of advancement. This time frame in promotion devalues the idea/concept of being a 'made man/woman'. Terrible
i'm sure young man is solid and superb at what he does; but again, he could be solid and superb beating the shit out of black belts as a blue belt and nobody would blink an eye. Now you have a two and a half year fellow mentoring/leading/teaching etc etc with what experience?
It's borderline insulting and again; devalues the process and the journey.
Shame shame BJJ gods lol - shame shame
a bjj gym isnt a mafia family you dunce. If he understands bjj and competes at a black belt level then he deserves a black belt.
@@Phuninteresting who said anything about mafia or family?
A dunce move is not understanding what I’m putting out there.
Don’t be a ‘dunce’ aka a troll
You knew what I was saying
Soon bjj will become like karate, blackbelt at 15. 😒
???????
Training since he was 4 and then gets his black belt at 18/19. After 14 years of constant training he gets his black belt. The title of the video is a little misleading.
this is cringe.
That’s the good part.
This dudes face pisses me off
Good!
