Should you have to give up your rank when you join a new gym?

If you’re a Blue, Purple or Brown Belt should you have to restart over if your instructor thinks that you don’t know enough about their system?

What do you think?

In this video I answer that question.

The question comes from someone who has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a number of years and received his Blue Belt from a legitimate affiliation. I did not list any of the details of this person or his training to keep it private for him.

Because of work he’s had to move all over the place and hasn’t been able to train consistently at one Brazilian Jiujitsu gym for a long time.

Recently he started training BJJ at a new gym and really likes the instructor and the gym overall.

The problem he’s running into is that the instructor wants him to start over because he doesn’t know his system as well.

Our friend feels that this is a bit unfair and doesn’t want to restart his BJJ journey all over again. He adds that the frustrating part about this is that he’s doing very well during rolling against the instructors students and feels fine with the techniques he’s showing.

In this BJJ video I share a story about how I personally gave up my Purple Belt when I came to a new gym to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It was a new instructor who didn’t care for me or felt threatened by me.

I’ve also had students who I didn’t quite think were up to par with our Blue Belts. And I share whether or not I made them give up their rank. If you watch my BJJ videos you probably know what I did.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. And if you’re in the process of changing BJJ gyms. I hope this video is helpful to you or gives you some insight into any problems you might have.

Thanks!

What you I focus on as a Blue Belt? This was the BJJ question I received from Twitter. Recently one of the viewers received his BJJ Blue Belt and he’s not wondering “What now?” What should he focus on to progress.

As I share in this video. Ultimately, it would be wise to consult your Brazilian Jiujitsu coach or instructor to determine their requirement for the belt. Because they may be different than mine.

One of the beautiful things about BJJ is that it’s treated in many cases like an art form. With certain, at times unwritten, rules that govern the system and a self-regulatory aspect to fakers. But ultimately, we are free to sort of go about it as we please.

With that said, there is no standardization amongst the whole of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coaches about what each belt should be exactly.

A lot is left to interpretation.

But if you were one of my Bjj Blue Belts, as I say in the video, I would jump on the technical buffet line.

Now that you have a strong foundation that you built as a BJJ White Belt, it’s time to experiment and see the different things that could work for you. Instead of being focused solely on surviving, as is often the objective of white belt.

You can now test out all the stuff that’s out there. Keep the things you want and discard the options that don’t seem to be for you. Which will set you up nicely as a BJJ Purple Belt. Which is where I think people begin to specialize to some degree. The only way you’ll know what to specialize in is to test out as much as possible.

Also, be careful not to be too worried about the newly acquired target on your back as a Blue Belt. It’s no secret that when we roll with higher belts. We judge ourselves partly based on our performance with this higher ranks.

So as a new Blue Belt, BJJ White Belts are going to be pushing themselves to do well against you. Make sure you don’t get too wrapped up in the need to always win against your jr training partners. Because in order to develop new weapons and test out all of the options. You’ve got to become ok with failing and making mistakes. It’s simply how it is.

There’s more information about my thoughts as a BJJ Blue Belt in the video.

I hope the video is useful to you. And Thomas, thanks for the question brother!

Getting your BJJ blue belt is huge achievement; in this video Stephan Kesting and Rob Biernacki discuss a modular approach to learning the skills, techniques and movements required to get there.

This is a toe hold/ankle lock that is now legal for all adult belt levels in the IBJJF. In this video I show two different variations on how to set the Estima Lock from passing the 50/50.
