When Being Called Sandbagger Goes from Cheater to Compliment in BJJ

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.
