Trust the process! Only time I could see this having an actual impact is in the difference in competitions at Gi White & Blue and Nogi Beginner & Intermediate. You should be talking to your coaches about upcoming comps anyway though.
If the instructor just want to make money beware! If you don't feel you are ready, that says a lot. Jiu-Jitsu has fewer belts than other arts, it's better to stay a little longer on the belt than to get a promotion that will feel like a burden. That's the reason why so many blue belts quit. Imho🔥🍍🥋
This is my question from a little bit back. Where I train they don't pass out belts and stripes without being sure. I've been to other schools and can hold my own just fine. It's just it feels like starting again at square one with so much to learn. It's exciting and daunting all at the same time.
No it doesn't, many people don't feel ready for their next belt, it's one of the most common things. If you're not at a McDojo, just trust the instructor. After all, they're the one that's an expert is the art, not the f***ing white belt.
@@af4396 if you as a white belt don't trust this instructor, beware. There are lots of charlatans out there. And if you are being promoted in less than a year and a half, beware.
I am a white belt, I don't even want to get a stripe. I dodge in every promotion and I am the happiest white belt in the gym. Only problem is some blue belt doesn’t roll with me.
Bernardo thanks for the answer. Where I train they definitely don't pass out belts and stripes without good cause. So I know I am probably ready but it feels like stepping onto the mat for the first time again. So much to learn.

I think you grow into the new belt. You’re simply ready to
Move into that next level.
thanks, really needed to hear this as someone who just got promoted to Blue
Great way of explaining advancement!
Turn up and do jiu jitsu. Focusing on every single stripe and belt will just give you anxiety.
