@Greg Lurik It wasn’t that straightforward for me - trained for 1 year => 2 stripes, had to move - no training for 2 years - started again - tore my acl after half a year => no training for 1.5, started again got blue after about 1 year 🤷‍♂️

Only a white belt but I think the thing I've learned most valuable so far is to stop trying to learn everything and to narrow it down. Been finding much more success with keeping it as simple as possible and slowly adding and taking things away. I used to have hundreds of videos saved in different playlists and im now only finding some success after cutting the vast majority out and drilling the remaining ones. Takes all the pressure out too and makes it fun again rather than an endless grind. Not to mention I'm thinking faster rolling as I'm not thinking about a dozen setups for so many different moves.

I started jiu jitsu a couple weeks ago knowing full well that would be getting laid out every time I go to the gym. So I've been focusing on the small victories like noticing and controlling my breathing, going the whole round, and staying on my feet longer and tapping out fewer times than the previous roll. keep up the good work!

You speak in a very interesting way, it is all well explained and I can feel your passion and how much you are engaged in this sport. No evil energy, just warm and positive feelings all the way. Shame we cant roll with each other (im from Poland), I love ppl with good, positive energy, who are opened to share their knowledge, passion, addiction to the sport, who show they sacrifice and flow in jiu jitsu..I just love it!

I was a wrestler back in high school and used to getting smashed, 2 months into my own journey in jiu-jitsu and I absolutely love it. I'm not as bad as I think I am most days, and my strength and aggression I take from wrestling do almost as much good as it does getting me in bad positions. Either way, I still show up, and I smile a little bit when I really get smashed. Just shows me that I've got a looooong road ahead, but I've started it and I'm having the time of my life.

Very good. That's a pretty accurate way of unpacking it. Thanx. I would also add that there is an awakening that usually happens literally the day you get your purple belt. Legs open, hips move better, and your jiu jitsu brain figures things out. I would even say that a lot of my game that I have today, as a black belt, I gained as a purple belt. There is another awakening at black belt.

Youre a great purple belt m8 and Im questioning mine every time I look at your vids lol The khabibstyle legtriangle-into-backtake at 2:20 is just beautiful

Nice Vid Jedi, I got my Blue in just over a year and I think ther biggest key to this was focusing on small victories. Primarily focusing on Escapes and defense. Basically if an upper belt didn't submit me, even if they dominated positionaly I counted it as a "win". This mentality helped me bunch.
