What Does It Mean to Be a BJJ Black Belt ?
Спорт
Yesterday I had the pleasure of promoting my good friend Adam to Black Belt in BJJ.
As a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach, I desperately hope I’m not only helping make my students better at BJJ. But I also hope that I’m making a positive impact on their life in some way outside of the gym.
Everyone has their mission and that’s mine.
When Adam gave his Black Belt speech about what it means to be a BJJ Black Belt at least to him, I was moved. Because of the way he felt for me and all of the other people on the team.
You'll see it on my face, I became watery eyed.
For me, that lets me now I’m on the right track.
In regards to Adam himself. There is so much I could say about him.
In fact, it’s difficult to condense your feelings and memories down to a simple post.
So I won’t try today.
Instead, I’ll just say that I’m proud of Adam, and I am so very thankful that he found his way to our gym 9 years ago.
He’s been one of my best training partners, someone I look forward to seeing on a regular basis and we’ve had some fun times together.
Congratulations to Adam! I’m proud of him. As a coach, brother in arms and friend.

I'm a 50 year old white belt 1 year in. This is awesome. Hopefully I can make it there someday before I die.

A black belt is a white belt who didn't give up.

Chewy, I don't know if all instructor do what you do in terms of wearing a black belt and than giving that belt to your student when they are promoted to that level, but that is simply one of the coolest things I ever seen.

I've seen one video where the instructor took a belt that had came off and snuck the new one on the mat. The way chewy did it is pretty amazing too.

JJ Machado gave his belt to Eddie Bravo which he passed on to Tony Ferguson that’s very cool .
This sense of camaraderie is part of what I love about the bjj community

It probably wasn't his own belt. It seems brand new. If you see the one he wears afterwards it is worn out, so this one is his probably. I guess he bought a new one to wear that day and give to him so that he will surprise him, pretty cool!
super disappointed that he didn't simply say "Adam"...but with a proud tear in his eye.

The way you did that promotion was so dope...totally caught him off guard, what an awesome moment!
You seem like such an amazing coach. I hope someday our paths cross on our Jiu-Jitsu journeys. Stay blessed!
That was definitely the coolest video by far excellent my boys.
Congratulations Adam👍I know that feeling your talking about. You will always be a constant reflection of your teammates and students,as you are that mirror image when standing across from then at the beginning and end of every class. I don't think that feeling will ever go away,deep stuff. Oh and the compilation at the end was great
Congrats Adam!! Chewy you are a great teacher, love the videos.
Awesome! Congrats Adam!
Speeeeeech........”Adam.” Congratulations man!!!
I love Adam. I do not know Adam but I love Adam. He seems like such a friendly guy, a good roll and a phantastic friend who always got your back.
I love that you're as emotional about giving the belt as they are about receiving it. OSS Chew. OSS indeed sir Be blessed y'all 🙏
Wow, absolutely amazing. This is exactly how should be when promoting someone. Especially at that level or training.
Huge congrats, Adam!
I was expecting this to be a Q&A, and I didn't read the description. Chewy got me choked up from across the country.

Dude, he speaks !! 😆 That was beautiful ❤️
Hell yeah, congrats Adam!
This gives me hope. I just started training BJJ last week. I'm 27 so I know I'll have a few grey hairs by the time I get close to that black belt lol. Awesome work, Chewy 🙇♂️.
Congratulations Adam!!! Well deserved bud! From Vancouver Canada!
Wow, you gave your own black belt. Respect!
Congrats Adam! Awesome way to give black belts to students Chewy.
Love the “chipping away at bs” comment. So fcking true, I’m a rican (born and raised) bs issues is what I do. And I love when I’m full time BJJ’ing and I care not 2 sh*ts about bs at all. I love that I focus on real stuff. Never quit BJJ kids... it’ll never quit on you.
Every aspect of this video was excellent.
CONGRATS! You're awesome!
Awe Adam! 👋 that’s awesome!!! Congrats man! ♥️😁
Congratulations Adam, that’s awesome!
It must be the greatest feeling as a coach to do that!
loved every minute of this video
the flashback clips were great!
Literally had my first OFFICIAL BJJ lesson this morning at 6am - I'm 47 and late to this particular side of the game but I'm looking forward to the journey - this video was highly inspirational - Thanks! *goes back to cutting onions*
Holly shit i gave goose bumps everywhere and cried like a baby, congrats man
Well done to his lovely assistant, Adam.
Beautiful video! Congrats Adam!
Such a great insight from a black belt x
congrats Adam, that's amazing. ADAM 😁
