A belt color is mostly a rough indicator of how good a grappler is by way of credentials. Not always an accurate indicator of your skills. In this case, you were well prepared and neutralized your opponent's strengths. In this case, you've obviously clocked way more hours on the mat compared to the average white belt. Well done! I enjoyed seeing how you documented this.
Regarding your first sentence - you cannot generalize a universal significance to belt level, anymore than you can generalize what all belt systems and their underlying standards are. It is all relative to each individual school/instructor. In some schools (often with a heavy competition focus) belt level really can be directly tied to practical skill, and a blue belt there could easily be a purple belt elsewhere. Other schools can favor other standards, such as time in grade, technique, attitude, etc., and belt level means something else. In the end, what you are claiming is true, but only in some of the places, some of the time.
@@ramonmartinez7613 I do understand and appreciate the qualifier, but that is exactly why I commented. Mostly *is* a generalization, and at this point, even just within BJJ, the meaning and significance behind the various organization-specific belt systems (and any belt which may be derived thereof) is so varied that there is no longer a common 'mostly'.
That blue belt in the final was 100% trying to cheese win that match. Stalling the timer out then getting 1 or 2 points in the last 30 seconds to crutch out the win, the fact you submitted him that fast just shows truly how bad he actually is. Well done, was frustrating to watch let alone compete vs someone like that.
@@gnoomlord not really because the other guy is standing and is in a sorta neutral to advantageous position, while with josh being in guard he's in a disadvantageous position because he has less mobility and is not guaranteed to win when the other guy shoots in.

I started BJJ in 2004. The level of today's blue belts are like that of purple belts back when I started. BJJ has evolved so much. Everything is better. Guard passing, guard retention, submissions.. With the exception of takedowns (which is the only part of BJJ that has got worse). Amazing to see you beat two brown belts after 14 months of training. I've seen brown belts been caught before by white belts and blue belts in training, but never seen a white belt do this good in competition. I don't train anymore but I definitely appreciate how good the young guys are these days. Well done!
saying white belt means very little, how many years have you trained grappling, wrestling, jiu-jitsu. etc...?... that's the question. This is clearly not in your first month on a mat. Great performance, congratulations!!
Huge difference between NoGi and Gi. Have them all put on a gi, and you'll see a white belt. I'm a whity and I hang with higher belts very well with nogi.
You’ve got talent kid. I’m well past my prime these days, but way back when, I wrestled at the collegiate level (Div 1) and can say some people are naturally adept at grappling. You my friend are one of those individuals. You can’t accurately judge someone’s prowess simply by their belt color and you proved that as well.
Man that submission was amazing, that fast switch into that back from that position, that requieres some top insight. Very well done, look forward to seeing more from you.
Dude, I barely even have an interest in BJJ besides being an MMA fan and a JRE podcast listener. And you managed to get me to subscribe and comment. Seriously, keep doing what you're doing. You are a very talented individual (general sense), you seem intelligent and well spoken and could potentially be a good role model for a lot of young content creators and BJJ students alike. This is the second video of yours I watch, just by accident, and both I watched from start to finish without even considering checking the length of the video. That is about as high praise as a TH-cam video could get, in my mind.
Purple belt here/former high school wrestler here. Some of your techniques were easily purple/brown level. I suspect in the gi a lot of those moves would not have worked with strong grips from your opponent, but you move really well. Not just for a white belt but just move really well. I have no doubt ur going to be one of those blues that beats browns regularly very very soon. 8 years ago I trained with this purple (I was white then) who in the gi got beat by most purples at his gym, but in nogi could beat almost all the browns and gave the blacks a tough time. He did a lot of wrestling, and like you, moved really really well. I considered him a black belt level comp in nogi. Look forward to following this talented young guy's career!
Don't complain about stalling when you're pulling guard from the first -second in, you're both cheesing the system, and frankly, you initiated it. You have some great physical intuition, and domineering strength, especially for your size. Great job grabbing your first Naga win, and a really nicely edited compilation, look forward to seeing your journey in the sport.
Coming from a guy who doesn’t understand all the competition rules of different BJJ organizations but knows wrestling I think every grappling competition should start on your feet and you give up points for giving up your back. I understand BJJ and having someone in your guard can be advantageous and being in someone’s guard isn’t a dominant position. That said a lot can happen going from standing to the ground. Also if it’s done for sport like in a competition or event it’s boring to watch someone laying on their back waiting for the competitor to be the aggressor and engage them.
@@SadaParkour he can stop the guy from stalling any time he likes by standing up and wrestling with him, and/or by actually pulling guard (not just sitting on his butt) so that his opponent doesn't have infinite space to do anything he wants.
@@bridgermorrill7356 don't conflate knowing how to wrestle with stalling. If the guy who pulls guard from across the room with no control over his opponent can't wrestle, he should be at the gym working on that, not at a grappling tournament expecting other competitors to handicap his glaring weakness.
I really dont think that because someone chooses to take themselves down that now the other person has an obligation to go to the floor when their opponent hasnt taken them down. This is one of the many problems with the way grappling rules make standing grappling a superfluous novelty.
I placed second in at a naga tournament years ago with no bjj belt whatsoever I wrestled for years in school though just dumped everyone and controlled the whole time lol I lost in the final to someone pulling guard like him. This guy is a good grappler and you can tell he has spent time rolling with people who were better than these guys he went up against. Good job tough kid.

while that dude is very not a real white belt in this, I believe NAGA nogi events are beginner intermediate expert. So he competed against the most advance competition he could have.
@@theBartasTLP it's a guy who lies about how good he is to compete against people worse than him. Basically a smurf from video games. For example, khabib was technically a bjj white belt well into his ufc career, he could have competed against dudes who have literally 6 weeks of grappling experience. The guy in the video did not sandbag though, he went into the most advanced division.
I wish I rolled like that when I was a white belt 🤣 awesome work bro you're a natural, continue in that trend and soon you'll be competing professionally, hats off to you bro Oss
I watched one minute of this and then got busy. I have it bookmarked to watch later because this is the kind of stuff I want TH-cam recommending me! I’m already hooked and have to see how this happened!
You’re clearly a high level blue belt competing as a sandbagged white belt, your technique is very blue-purple, but very blue imo, you wrestled well and transitioned beautifully, your awareness for this art is stellar. Will be cool to see you throw your own style and flavour onto this more.
Mkay... this isn't white belt stuff... And people saying you should of at least been ranked a blue belt yeah NS jack Stapleton Is pretty well seasoned. Also who puts a white belt in the advanced division?! Like what is this.
yeah it's bullshit. If his coach thought he could be competing in an expert division, then his coach should have promoted him already. This guy is awesome, though
@@Jamesbradley001 he is supposed to win. That's why his coach put him in... I think what I'm more salty about is he's definitely not " suppose" to be a white belt .
This has got to be the coolest Jiu-Jitsu video and breakdown I've ever seen. you explained it so well and it was very impressive how you competed with those guys especially giving that MMA fighter so much trouble. You had me cheering for you when you submitted the last guy. it's a really great video. Subscribed.
You may have a teacher that’s a good teacher in terms of teaching jiu jitsu and has a big heart holds nothing back. Like you’re his son. But there’s nothing worse than the stench of lies . You’re not a white belt. And I’m sure you know that I’m sure you know that people know that and you don’t care about yourself it’s not the world you think this is fun it’s not funny not to have integrity it’s not fun to spit on your own honor there’s nothing fun about it the last laugh is on you🐰🌈🌲 my hope is that you drop your ego and look at the words I said no then I’m your friend I’m giving you good advice. Jiu jitsu is nothing without honor. Honor is the Knights of the Roundtable king Arthur so Lancelot. Honor is the way you live for yourself not for anybody else.
Them Gordon Ryan and DDS video be hitting 🤌 def don’t move like a white belt but good shit nonetheless, specially against the staller (from personal experience I know tapping those type of people feels nice haha)
Awesome content. Actually giving a technical play-by-play is profound. It becomes much easier to learn from another's experience when we hear the thought process. It makes the scenario of "what would I have done" much easier to comprehend then just a video. Haven't been on a mat since covid shut the gym down. This is great mental exercise in the meantime!
you could train submission grappling without the gi for 20 years and step into a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school and be a "white belt" with the gi on. didn't Jon Jones just get his blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. never mind the fact that he's submitted machida blackbelt, Vitor Belfort black belt, etc, etc
it's like those guys saying they quit their jobs within 3 months, after starting an internet business... when you discover they got marketing experience and stuff
You do the "shoulder crunch" a lot and apparently successfully. Your "shoulder crunch guy" when I talk about you now to my friends. Could you do a video about your "shoulder crunch," "shoulder crunch guy?" #respect We enjoy your videos very much.
@@therocweborn6414 i don't wrestle whatsoever, but by the looks of it any time he got into any type of wrestling he lost- badly. he spends all of his time stalling but when it comes down to it he gets wiped, by josh.
When I first saw the title of this video I thought it was some D1 wrestler trolling, then I read the description and watched. Great job, you're very talented, I enjoyed your video.
Homie you had me screaming "SUB! SUB! SUB!" in my office lol. The wife wanted to know if everything was ok LOL. Best vid all day bro. Now I'm def gonna "sub" lol
Depending on your instructor a belt can mean very little. Some schools hand them out to anyone who can afford it where as some test for it and some give your belts when they feel you are at a certain level. In that sense a belt can give the illusion that someone is of a certain level when in fact that may not be the case. Essentially it can act as a poker face. On the other hand, martial arts that don’t originate from Asia usually don’t use belts such as wrestling, boxing etc.
generally, if it’s a legitimate bjj program, you’ll know because they’ll have a reputation, since a black belt takes 15 years, so while there are some bs trainers and training systems, if you can find out theirs, you’ll find out just how legit they can be, like if they do gracie bjj, or machado bjj
This gives off lifetime wrestler turned bjj newbie vibes like a mf. Or you’re just a savant at grappling. Either way, great work, basics executed well are still very effective. “Just because you learn the double leg on day one doesn’t mean the lateral drop is better.”
bro since i saw the first video of you and explaining thing i new you would be special cuz u a true seeker of jj knolege and how things works and also humble. i am looking for new vids regularly on you cuz i am also trainning. keep on same work ethic. hugg
Dude never really watch wrestling but I clicked on your video and your explanation of the entire match had me into it!! Awesome stuff way to win through adversity
This guy is a menace to jiu-jitsu society. Out here subbing stalling cheese clowns and going toe to toe with brown belts and winning. He broke the system and I'm all for it. GOAT energy
long time ago i was a blue belt, i refuse the purple belt (after injury i became useless) its really a great performance you do, maybie but you've probably done other sports before like skateboarding and surfing and I even did a randori with some break dancer guys and they were very strong !! (no joke) anyway great
Hey man don't worry about all the slightly salty comments, its clear your just talented and that is it! Congrats on the win, hope to see more matches from you :).
@@firstname4337 Probably a little bit, but most schools do that to some extent. Also in his description it says he has only trained for 1.2 years, so if that is true then that is still within white belt training time and it is subjectively up to his coach to promo. I think him being athletic helps a lot in this context (probably did other sports before). Have you seen the AOJ white/blue belts? Or even Jon Jones who started as a white belt in BJJ when he could have been murking people
@@camn7542 MMA fighters that train no gi for 10 years then throw on a white belt solely for the fact that they're new to gi..that's bs, and there is a word for that. "Sandbagging"
Idk if any one saw Rolls Gracie commented below. Pretty interesting comment from a pretty experienced person. That being said, congrats. Decent guard game. BJJ skill levels at a specific rank fluctuate widely it seems dependingon where you train. I've seen an AOJ white belt pull guard, berimbolo, and sub his opponent while I was reffing. It is possible that you honestly only trained a year and got to a decent skill level. Possible, but not probable. Naga's expert divisions vary greatly in skilled opponents depending on the tournament. You did really some nice guard retention and transitions. Nothing insanely over the top so it's not totally unbelievable you're a white belt. The only thing I REALLY find suspect is it seems several of your videos are titled "how a white belt won expert", or "blue belt vs black belt." Kind of seems like you're fixated on this idea of bragging about beating( or getting close to) higher ranks. Like looking for that "wow" from people. You seem like a talented player with a bright JJ future. I would just scrap that fixation title, and just put up your vids. Youre narrating is cool. Showing your JJ skills is nice. But something just comes across super off when you often title your videos with those kind of "bragging" titles then try and downplay by poking fun at yourself. It still comes through regardless of the downplay. Keep on training hard, you're definitely on the right path and don't worry about the belt rank so much and you'll be all good! Congrats!
Can’t knock him for creating titles that will market his channel well. There’s a reason why people want to see vids like that. It’s cool stuff. Not everyone is obligated to be a humble monk on TH-cam and throw away their marketing
Well, personally I think that the can opener and twisting leg locks are more dangerous than they're worth, but I guess that is up to the BJJ community and whatever organization that arranges it.
Dude! amazing instincts and a very comprehensive game for a "white belt" and to get to that level after only basicallly a year great stuff congrats 👏 the future is bright!
Yeah that's just stupid he got at least more than 2 years of training i don't know who he thinks he's fooling, i mean who on internet watches random videos of BJJ with few views on them because they binged all there is interesting to watch on the subject and end up watching random shit like that but bjj guys who're hanging around and resting while on youtube, that's just stupid and makes me wanna hate a bit i mean his matches weren't even that interesting, his strategy was boring he was clearly playing points (which again proves he isn't a white belt) and god that last match was a pain to watch even his "miraculous finish" was meeehhh, also NAGA is far from being one of the best competition in america where in the world did he see that, gosh this video made me way more angry than it should have. I want to see this presoumptious kid come at the IBJJF, ADCC or EBI and just get absolutely shredded and stop competition or start pumping roids like every top guys at these events hahaha
@@williamm4366 lmao yeah if you ain’t got the jiu jitsu credentials, we don’t want to hear your arm chair “expert” advice, besides this kid is a white belt who competed against Brown Belts, he doesn’t need to prove himself against the best at IBJFF and ADCC, he’s barely blue belt now
If your a white belt, how are you doing flying armbars and moving like a purple belt on the mats? Ether you have been training in catch wrestling for years, or your not a real white belt.
That clip of the flying armbar wasn’t of me, just a video I found on the internet. I only trained for about a year when I competed in this competition. But I did track and field before I started jiu jitsu
@@JoshRichBJJ That makes more sense then. But you should be a blue belt at least, you must have all your stripes and your coach wanted you to own before moving you up to blue. You looked at least intermediate.

The guy in the video did not sandbag though, he went into the most advanced division.
Beautiful. Personally, I would have graded you as a bluebelt. Congrats nonetheless - those competitors were no joke. All your hard work has paid off.
Really like the breakdowns, helps new to the sport people understand the mindset and techniques.
yeh thx man!
Man, crazy stuff! For 1.2 years this is god level. :)
If you did this with only 14 months in BJJ, you are exceptionally talented!
Dude your open guard, guard retention, shoulder crunch, knee cut is epic. Very impressive. Great watch
Bro, as a fellow white belt this video was super insightful and entertaining, congrats
Dude, love your self-deprecating comedy. You are a skilled guy, with great calm on the floor, which is very productive. Keep up the excellent work!
I wish I rolled like that when I was a white belt 🤣 awesome work bro you're a natural, continue in that trend and soon you'll be competing professionally, hats off to you bro Oss
I watched one minute of this and then got busy. I have it bookmarked to watch later because this is the kind of stuff I want TH-cam recommending me! I’m already hooked and have to see how this happened!
You’re clearly a high level blue belt competing as a sandbagged white belt, your technique is very blue-purple, but very blue imo, you wrestled well and transitioned beautifully, your awareness for this art is stellar. Will be cool to see you throw your own style and flavour onto this more.
bruh this dude beats brown belts, stop tryna be a fake expert
This is what happens when you're consistent with training. Good job.
Mkay... this isn't white belt stuff... And people saying you should of at least been ranked a blue belt yeah NS jack Stapleton Is pretty well seasoned. Also who puts a white belt in the advanced division?! Like what is this.
yeah it's bullshit. If his coach thought he could be competing in an expert division, then his coach should have promoted him already. This guy is awesome, though
@@dodgecoates8760 yeah the kid is definitely good. But something about this video really annoys me.. 😒
It's like sandbagging in reverse haha
@@timbabyok5229 yeah you’re salty that a talented kid who’s not “supposed” to win did. Who cares. Be happy for him
@@Jamesbradley001 he is supposed to win. That's why his coach put him in... I think what I'm more salty about is he's definitely not " suppose" to be a white belt .
LOL the music and commentary is gold. Enjoyed this.
for 7 minutes and 42 seconds i was entertained, good video man!
Absolutely love these breakdowns always watch as soon as one drops
I appreciate it man!
This has got to be the coolest Jiu-Jitsu video and breakdown I've ever seen. you explained it so well and it was very impressive how you competed with those guys especially giving that MMA fighter so much trouble. You had me cheering for you when you submitted the last guy. it's a really great video.
Subscribed.
Thank you for keeping your breakdown humble and real. Just subscribed due to that
Your friends are the absolute best part of this video. The screaming killed me😂😂
dude behind the camera is the kind of guy everybody needs at their matches
That was super exciting to watch, I was getting nervous on that final match. Congrats!
Josh... ... ... you've got a motivated and excited corner!
"Im a white belt in a nogi tournament, So just take my word for it lol." Great work though if you are you need a big promotion.
You may have a teacher that’s a good teacher in terms of teaching jiu jitsu and has a big heart holds nothing back. Like you’re his son. But there’s nothing worse than the stench of lies
. You’re not a white belt. And I’m sure you know that
I’m sure you know that people know that and you don’t care about yourself it’s not the world
you think this is fun
it’s not funny not to have integrity
it’s not fun to spit on your own honor
there’s nothing fun about it the last laugh is on you🐰🌈🌲 my hope is that you drop your ego and look at the words I said no then I’m your friend I’m giving you good advice. Jiu jitsu is nothing without honor.
Honor is the Knights of the Roundtable king Arthur so Lancelot. Honor is the way you live for yourself not for anybody else.
Great work josh..ignore the hatred.. you killed it bro
I was super impressed with the guard passing in the 2nd match. Very slick movement with your legs.
that was. fuckign sick. nice editing, nice commentating. Good shit dude.
Them Gordon Ryan and DDS video be hitting 🤌 def don’t move like a white belt but good shit nonetheless, specially against the staller (from personal experience I know tapping those type of people feels nice haha)
congrats man its good to see people training and having fun with their peers
Wow. You should be at least be a purple belt. Great job.
The last match got me hyped at the end !! Well done man :)
Just started training bjj coming from a wrestling judo background and bruh you taught me so much lol
Haha that’s great to hear!
Submissions aren’t always key to winning a match and this is a great example.
This video was more helpful in understanding bjj mechanics than most instructional videos offered on TH-cam
Awesome content. Actually giving a technical play-by-play is profound. It becomes much easier to learn from another's experience when we hear the thought process. It makes the scenario of "what would I have done" much easier to comprehend then just a video. Haven't been on a mat since covid shut the gym down. This is great mental exercise in the meantime!
you could train submission grappling without the gi for 20 years and step into a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school and be a "white belt" with the gi on. didn't Jon Jones just get his blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. never mind the fact that he's submitted machida blackbelt, Vitor Belfort black belt, etc, etc
jones is a wrestler and thats why he subbed all the bjj guys
@@donniedoesdishes you would think it would be the other way around
@@asphaltking3452 yep lol
... You're my hero. You don't panic and you never bully. You're like Ryan Hall's long lost cousin.
it's like those guys saying they quit their jobs within 3 months, after starting an internet business... when you discover they got marketing experience and stuff
You do the "shoulder crunch" a lot and apparently successfully. Your "shoulder crunch guy" when I talk about you now to my friends. Could you do a video about your "shoulder crunch," "shoulder crunch guy?" #respect We enjoy your videos very much.
Talk shit on a “staller” but you’re a guard puller. He did the smartest thing he could do against you.
He did what he had to do. And it worked, its a viable option, unlike just not doing anything.
You dont know anything about anything
@@therocweborn6414 i don't wrestle whatsoever, but by the looks of it any time he got into any type of wrestling he lost- badly. he spends all of his time stalling but when it comes down to it he gets wiped, by josh.
When I first saw the title of this video I thought it was some D1 wrestler trolling, then I read the description and watched. Great job, you're very talented, I enjoyed your video.
Homie you had me screaming "SUB! SUB! SUB!" in my office lol. The wife wanted to know if everything was ok LOL. Best vid all day bro. Now I'm def gonna "sub" lol
Haha thanks so much for the comment and for the “sub”
The double ankle sweep is gonna get that guy ROASTED at his gym. You just stole that man's dignity.
dude you are legend grate run !
Dude, your skill is way beyond wb level - nice job.
Depending on your instructor a belt can mean very little. Some schools hand them out to anyone who can afford it where as some test for it and some give your belts when they feel you are at a certain level. In that sense a belt can give the illusion that someone is of a certain level when in fact that may not be the case. Essentially it can act as a poker face.
On the other hand, martial arts that don’t originate from Asia usually don’t use belts such as wrestling, boxing etc.
muay thai also doesn’t use belts
Lethwei doesn't use belts
generally, if it’s a legitimate bjj program, you’ll know because they’ll have a reputation, since a black belt takes 15 years, so while there are some bs trainers and training systems, if you can find out theirs, you’ll find out just how legit they can be, like if they do gracie bjj, or machado bjj
@@Safistic muay thai uses prajeet, witch is the same, stop lying !
This is one of the best narrations a BJJ I’ve ever seen, Subscribed!
This gives off lifetime wrestler turned bjj newbie vibes like a mf. Or you’re just a savant at grappling. Either way, great work, basics executed well are still very effective. “Just because you learn the double leg on day one doesn’t mean the lateral drop is better.”
Your delivery and commentary + amazing jiu jitsu skills make for an enjoyable video. Subscribed
Your pressure is perfect from what I can see. You're constantly doing something switching from upper to lower. Great stuff. Nice work!
I know nothing about BJJ. Thanks for the play by play. Now i know what to look for when im watching!
Question: How many years have you been training in the field of MMA?
The music goes so well with that second fight😂
I'm just noticing that ref who did the first match also reffed me in NAGA in orlando. I hit a flying armbar lol
Cool
That was sincerely a joy to watch! Congrats on the win! Tremendous job!
Wearing a regular t-shirt should be illegal in a nogi comp. That shit could trap your fingers and toes.
bro since i saw the first video of you and explaining thing i new you would be special cuz u a true seeker of jj knolege and how things works and also humble. i am looking for new vids regularly on you cuz i am also trainning. keep on same work ethic. hugg
I hope your coach pulled out a purple belt for you after that stellar performance.
ps: what was the sub did you get the bellator guy with?
It looks like he either tapped because he knew time was out or he couldn’t bear shin on his bicep
Yeah he just tapped because time was about to be out, I didn’t have any submission there
Dude never really watch wrestling but I clicked on your video and your explanation of the entire match had me into it!! Awesome stuff way to win through adversity
This guy is a menace to jiu-jitsu society. Out here subbing stalling cheese clowns and going toe to toe with brown belts and winning. He broke the system and I'm all for it.
GOAT energy
That final victory was satisfying
long time ago i was a blue belt, i refuse the purple belt (after injury i became useless)
its really a great performance you do, maybie
but you've probably done other sports before like skateboarding and surfing
and I even did a randori with some break dancer guys and they were very strong !! (no joke)
anyway great
Yeah break dancers are weirdly strong. I did track and field before I started jiu jitsu
Bro your voice over and memes are on point! From another white belt
Hey man don't worry about all the slightly salty comments, its clear your just talented and that is it! Congrats on the win, hope to see more matches from you :).
Thank you bro :)
*You're....as in you're a casual
it's clear that he's not a whitebelt -- his coach has probably held back the promotion just to make the school look better
@@firstname4337 Probably a little bit, but most schools do that to some extent. Also in his description it says he has only trained for 1.2 years, so if that is true then that is still within white belt training time and it is subjectively up to his coach to promo. I think him being athletic helps a lot in this context (probably did other sports before). Have you seen the AOJ white/blue belts? Or even Jon Jones who started as a white belt in BJJ when he could have been murking people
@@camn7542 MMA fighters that train no gi for 10 years then throw on a white belt solely for the fact that they're new to gi..that's bs, and there is a word for that. "Sandbagging"
Baddest white belt on the planet! Go Josh! 💪👏👏👏
Idk if any one saw Rolls Gracie commented below. Pretty interesting comment from a pretty experienced person. That being said, congrats. Decent guard game. BJJ skill levels at a specific rank fluctuate widely it seems dependingon where you train. I've seen an AOJ white belt pull guard, berimbolo, and sub his opponent while I was reffing. It is possible that you honestly only trained a year and got to a decent skill level. Possible, but not probable. Naga's expert divisions vary greatly in skilled opponents depending on the tournament. You did really some nice guard retention and transitions. Nothing insanely over the top so it's not totally unbelievable you're a white belt. The only thing I REALLY find suspect is it seems several of your videos are titled "how a white belt won expert", or "blue belt vs black belt." Kind of seems like you're fixated on this idea of bragging about beating( or getting close to) higher ranks. Like looking for that "wow" from people. You seem like a talented player with a bright JJ future. I would just scrap that fixation title, and just put up your vids. Youre narrating is cool. Showing your JJ skills is nice. But something just comes across super off when you often title your videos with those kind of "bragging" titles then try and downplay by poking fun at yourself. It still comes through regardless of the downplay. Keep on training hard, you're definitely on the right path and don't worry about the belt rank so much and you'll be all good! Congrats!
he's a youtuber, if he wants to hit algorithm like he did with this video then he should continue the title formats that work for him.
Can’t knock him for creating titles that will market his channel well. There’s a reason why people want to see vids like that. It’s cool stuff. Not everyone is obligated to be a humble monk on TH-cam and throw away their marketing
This video had no business being so entertaining
Well, personally I think that the can opener and twisting leg locks are more dangerous than they're worth, but I guess that is up to the BJJ community and whatever organization that arranges it.
Dude! amazing instincts and a very comprehensive game for a "white belt" and to get to that level after only basicallly a year great stuff congrats 👏 the future is bright!
I’m a brown belt now, I did not look like that when I was a white belt especially in competitions lol. Damn bro you talented as hell
Composure and stamina played a good part in that. you can see how all his opponents are gassed/red and he is chill
There is not a chance in a million years your a whitebelt!! Great performance, but I can imagine you been training 6-7 years man
Yeah that's just stupid he got at least more than 2 years of training i don't know who he thinks he's fooling, i mean who on internet watches random videos of BJJ with few views on them because they binged all there is interesting to watch on the subject and end up watching random shit like that but bjj guys who're hanging around and resting while on youtube, that's just stupid and makes me wanna hate a bit i mean his matches weren't even that interesting, his strategy was boring he was clearly playing points (which again proves he isn't a white belt) and god that last match was a pain to watch even his "miraculous finish" was meeehhh, also NAGA is far from being one of the best competition in america where in the world did he see that, gosh this video made me way more angry than it should have. I want to see this presoumptious kid come at the IBJJF, ADCC or EBI and just get absolutely shredded and stop competition or start pumping roids like every top guys at these events hahaha
@@williamm4366 hey bro link ur professional bjj record plz thx or shut t he fuck up
@@williamm4366 lmao yeah if you ain’t got the jiu jitsu credentials, we don’t want to hear your arm chair “expert” advice, besides this kid is a white belt who competed against Brown Belts, he doesn’t need to prove himself against the best at IBJFF and ADCC, he’s barely blue belt now
@@williamm4366 i met this guy in real life. He’s being honest about how long he trained
I audibly said “stall that!” Good shit man
Haha, thanks man!
@@JoshRichBJJ no problem brotha keep posted on competitions! Would love to see one in LA
If your a white belt, how are you doing flying armbars and moving like a purple belt on the mats? Ether you have been training in catch wrestling for years, or your not a real white belt.
That clip of the flying armbar wasn’t of me, just a video I found on the internet. I only trained for about a year when I competed in this competition. But I did track and field before I started jiu jitsu
@@JoshRichBJJ That makes more sense then. But you should be a blue belt at least, you must have all your stripes and your coach wanted you to own before moving you up to blue. You looked at least intermediate.
He's somehow a blue belt in his previous videos
@@hasanc1526 Figures... Well, that's one way to get views.
@@hasanc1526 This is how you can tell you werent paying attention to the video lol. He says this comp footage was from a while ago before he got his blue belt
bruh you're like the most inspiring person I've come across on here
A year and 2 months defeated 2 brown belts 0.0 extreme talent..I’m 3 years in and have not come close to beating a brown belt (well maybe couple times but they beat me 19 outta 20times)
Where does he mention he’s only been training a year? That’s bullshit he must have been training no gi for years
@@tomsnow925 he said so In the description lol
@@allenchang6185 I train 4 times a week for 3 years, im a blue blet, bigger and more athletic than this guy & ive never tapped a brown belt so it seems crazy to me. I dont see how you can tap a brown belt mma fighters after a year of training thats crazy
@@tomsnow925 yea I do think it's abit fishy unless he's just insanely talented prodigy then expenct to see him on ADCC championship few years later
Dude that was awesome. You’re a natural
