Years ago, when I was a brand-new kids’ BJJ coach, a mother brought her son to train with us because he was getting bullied at school.

She had originally enrolled him in Taekwondo, but that program was basically a glorified daycare that handed out belts without teaching real skills. Despite being there for nearly eight months, he still couldn’t defend himself—and the bullying hadn’t stopped.

So, she brought him to our Jiu-Jitsu gym. After about six weeks of training, he went back to school, and the bullying came to an end.

I’ll go deeper into that story—and also share another one about a fake BJJ black belt I called out.

The reason I bring this up is because I recently posed a question in response to my Derek Moneyberg video: What is a real black belt?

A lot of people responded with “Who cares?”
And honestly… I don’t think that’s the right mindset.

In this video, I talk about the importance of symbols—and how they hold meaning in many areas of life. In BJJ, the black belt is one of those symbols. But too often, its meaning gets downplayed.

Thanks for watching.
