Belt Lineage in BJJ Doesn’t Matter

Does your BJJ belt lineage really matter if you plan to teach?

Of course this is my opinion, but assuming that your belt lineage is legitimate. I really don’t think it matters as many people think.

As a young coach who was a brown belt. I had an obscure Brazilian Jiu-jitsu lineage for most. But I was still able to be successful in competitions and as a coach.

I’ve grown a gym that’s nearly 10000 sq ft and has hundreds of people training.

I accomplished this not with my really cool belt lineage. But because I was very much invested in the success of my students and my drive to help them.

Now, all that said, I think lineage can be important in a few cases. But if you’re someone who is looking to become a Brazilian Jiujitsu coach or instructor.

I think your belt lineage is less important when compared to who you are as a person and how you teach your students.
