Thanks professor. I believe that regardless of the color of your belt in any martial art, the mat doesn't lie. It is a wonderful teacher on the things we need to improve. In the same regard, if a person has knowledge that will benefit your journey, and is willing to teach, it doesn't matter the color of their belt either.
Thanks my friend! Looking forward to seeing you in class soon.
I overheard a guy ask my coach “where’s my purple belt?” I cringed. Like bro why would you ask that.. smh.
I have had a student ask me that too.
One thing training Brazilian Jiujitsu has reinforced for me is that your skill and physical capabilities are more important than your belt. In that same train of thought, would you encourage students to ask for periodic check-ins on what they are doing well, what they need to improve (generally or specifically), and what they should focus on for a bit if they feel lost or confused on their journey?
I think it is helpful from time to time to ask your instructor what things you need to work on, especially after rolling aka sparring with your instructor on the mat.
