Today we’ve got a question from Corey, who is being labeled as a “Sandbagger” in his gym.

He says he’s been training Jiu-Jitsu, on again/off again, for 2 years, and so far, he’s just a 2-stripe white belt.

Recently, lots of his training partners and coaches are telling him he’s ready for Blue Belt. At the same time, his head coach has not talked about this at all.

On top of that, at the recent belt promotions he did NOT get a Blue Belt, in fact, he didn’t even get another stripe on his White Belt.

So, he’s at a loss, because he doesn’t want people to have hard feelings towards him, because being labeled a sandbagger in BJJ is not the best thing to be called.

However, he doesn’t know how to approach his coach about the subject, because he personally does not care much about his belt color or rank.

He asked what I think about the issue & what advice I could give on the subject.

Thanks for watching.

The post When Being Called Sandbagger Goes from Cheater to Compliment in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

What’s up guys,

Today we’ve got a question from Aaron, who is getting a little older, 49 years old, and he’s had a string of bad luck (ACL Tear, Cancer, COVID, Labral Tear in his Shoulders, etc).

He’s a 4-stripe brown belt but says he feels like an absolute shell of his former self.

He says that when he was a BJJ Purple Belt, he was training a lot more and would decimate this new, 4-stripe brown belt version of him.

He’s worried that he’s not ready for the impending black belt that is soon to come.

He’s wondering if he should tell his coach NOT to promote him to Black Belt OR if he should just take the Black Belt and be happy with it.

Thanks for watching!

The post If You Train BJJ Long Enough, You’ll Face This Painful Reality appeared first on jitseasy.

This was a very special moment in my life, the moment I received my BJJ black belt from my coach and good friend Chewy.

I never thought that I would be able to achieve this type of accomplishment, but I was truly honored and humbled to earn my black belt.

Jiu-Jitsu was something I started out of a curiosity and as something to do to challenge myself. My growth as a martial artist and human being as a result of Jiu-Jitsu has surpassed what I could have imagined.

I waited to post this video as I was trying to figure out and process this day and what exactly it meant to me (I was promoted on 2/25/2021).

I was trying to figure out if I was worthy of this accomplishment, what this meant to me, and I wanted to have some time to feel what it was like and have the chance to reflect on what it was like stepping on the mats and training as a black belt.

I feel like sharing this video gives a glimpse into the immense importance of this martial art to me. The comradery, the family, and the support that I have gained from training is difficult to put into words.

This was one of the greatest achievements of my life. I encourage anyone that watches this video just to keep training and be consistent. Focus on improving yourself everyday.

Thanks to my training partners and my coaches for being an integral part of this achievement. I love this martial art and am proud to be a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.
