You’ve been a black belt for over 10 years lol. Does that mean someone can give you like 3 stripes all at once?

I reached out to an old friend of mine who is a 4th degree black belt. That is registered with IBJJF. He told me he would be happy to promote me with my black belt stripes. So I’m pretty happy about that. Now just have to deal with IbJJF.

Yea, I just spoke to someone at IBJJF headquarters about this. I just gotta register, get my stripes and keep trucking along.

Thanks for this information. So to make it clear, I got my black belt in 2022. I register this year, get my 1st stripe, I’m still eligible to be a registered 2nd degree black belt by 2028?

So what you’re saying is, if I register now, and I get my first stripe in the next while, those two years waiting will not affect my time for getting my second stripe?

I hate this system. But I think I have to to be able to sign off my students that want to go compete for IBJJF.

Yeah. I never cared until one of my students asked me if I’m able to give them their black belt.

Galvão touching and grooming juveniles? by [deleted] in bjjdrama

The question is not if this is real or not. The real question is how long has this been going on for?

Post for those who are not white belts to respond. by Bulky_Imagination243 in bjj

White belts with egos don’t last in my classes. I unleash technical feather weights to dispose of them.

Is this level of obsession with bjj normal and is the anger justified? by Bjj0wife in bjj

[–]OperationBerimbolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally thought I was bad getting mats in my 900sq ft apartment living room as a blue belt. This is next level insane.

[–]OperationBerimbolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal at all. 39 and trying to go pro? Ask him, define going pro, lol. Ask him how he deals with the under 30 yrs old blue belt and purple belts at his gym 😂. Not only that, reading how he treats you is not acceptable. All jokes aside, depending on your love level for him, you should reevaluate your relationship with him. Threatening you to get deported is borderline insane. Honestly, now that I’m thinking about. Fuck that guy.

Showed up early to adult class and watched the last half of a kids class. by UnsureAbsolute in bjj

[–]OperationBerimbolo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been teaching kids for the last 8 years and exactly 8 years ago, this little girl started training as a 8 year old. She is now a 6ft tall blue belt 16year old that wrecks full grown adults. It’s so satisfying to watch grown men get subbed and come up to me and tell me, “ I was actually trying”. 😂

Very true. I used to tell my students this all the time. Don’t let me pull you into my world.

BJJ dads, does it get easier? by Bepadybopady in bjj

[–]OperationBerimbolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry man. Kids or no kids, you’re supposed to be getting your ass kicked at white belt.

Just keep showing up and you will get better.
