@@lucasb9693 called itself "Shodokan with thai boxing". The lack of practice with a fully resisting opponent (real sparring) is very limiting. There was a tiny bit of sparring but mostly it was hours of kicking pads or xrays, or practicing combinations solo. Same for my previous karate dojo when I was a kid. And belt promotions were a lot different than BJJ, it was all about how many classes you'd attended as opposed to actual learning.

There are four common styles of wrestling in China, so it true for some Kung-fu school. lol But no style has comprehensive ground fighting technique (Maybe it's because tatami has not been used in China since Song dynasty?). So BJJ can beat all Chinese wrestling on the ground easily. Recently, some Chinese wrestling schools have started to do ground fighting, something not seen 30 years ago. Obviously they learned something new from Jiu-jitsu or Judo.

It also teaches humility and humblness when being absolutely dominated by higher ranks. The white belt can learn a lot from getting worked, and you can apply what you've learned to other white belts when rolling with them.

Still the best black belt as a white belt video ever. Wish this kind of thing happened more often with same level of documentation.

At my gym, a lot of the guys go WAY too hard in terms of cranking submissions in training; it gets irritating because it's usually the blue belts, and it forces me to retaliate, and I hate risking injuring my training partners that are below my belt or even at/above my belt (they wont get hurt lmao), but if you're trying to crank my fuckin' neck, you're definitely getting full force. Fucking can't stand guys that take things too far because it makes YOU look bad because people think you're beating up a lower rank guy when in reality, you're just retaliating.

I enjoyed that. I met my boxing coach when he showed up at the TKD school I teach at, wearing his yellow belt. I sparred with him and he belted me with a left hook . "Have you done something before ?" " Yes , was a pro boxer. I want to learn kicking". ooookay........ NEVER underestimate people if you don`t know them .. Lol

I wrestled from the time I was 9 and have been a judoka for 22 years (still not a black belt because of 4 moves to different states and a lot of other priorities) but I love going to my buddies BJJ school and rolling with my grappling style with them. Visited a school out of state on vacation with one of my friends who knew the Professor and they passed me off as a guy who was a new guy. That was fun. We all went out to eat afterwards and they all called bullshit on me. I find that my BJJ cousins all have the best sense of humor and know how to not take everything so seriously. 😉

***** a really good blue belt could know all the moves a black belt knows (for the most part, or most certainly in theory). not always but it's possible. Black belt still owns him by being able to think ahead and time attacks better. Just like in a game of chess a grandmaster knows when he beat a novice 15 moves before they even think they're in real danger. In a lot of ways it is very similar to chess, but not just because lower belts don't know what to do, it goes a lot deeper ;)
