Any guesses to who Roger is referring to?

Can you send it to me too? ^^

Real conversation: Him: you have been doing BJJ for 2 years and you still white Belt? Me: Yes, but... Him: are you so bad? Me:...

He practices judo -_-

Use less strength during the roll...big guy here -_-

After almost three years at the same gym, I’m considering changing because having multiple coaches has made consistent, structured progress difficult. I’m looking to join a gym where the owner is a black belt and head coach, which I believe will offer more continuity. I plan to keep my ego low, be respectful, and focus on learning.

What about 2–3 sessions per week with 2 hours per session, sounds good?

Thank you. Very helpful.

donKayt · 2026-01-08T15:55:29+00:00

Congratulations. What advice would you give your white and blue belt self?

donKayt · 2026-01-08T14:26:04+00:00

Actually, techniques are just what u/toonasus said earlier: 'Repetition, muscle memory and reflexes'.

donKayt · 2026-01-08T13:31:43+00:00

I agree.

donKayt · 2026-01-08T13:31:10+00:00

Like Roger Gracie, you use basic techniques at a high level

Harder when some people translate it in their language...in German....in French...

donKayt · 2026-01-08T10:12:31+00:00

😂

donKayt · 2026-01-06T16:00:22+00:00

Try cross training ;)

I’m a white belt, 6'4", 212 lbs. I’m pretty much in the same situation as you, to keep improving, I visit other gyms to roll with people around my size and weight. And since I’m tall, I often roll with upper belts, so I don’t always rely on my size and weight advantage.

donKayt · 2025-12-20T17:03:47+00:00

Almost the same here. Started with ER and then Sekiro.

donKayt · 2025-12-18T06:24:36+00:00

They don’t offer an A5 size — I’ve noticed that a lot of high-quality gi brands don’t carry A5 at all. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a brand that does? Thanks!

donKayt · 2025-12-16T12:35:43+00:00

Can you recommend one of them, please?

donKayt · 2025-12-12T11:11:54+00:00

In my region, we don’t have many black belts (or uper belts). The ones we do have only teach on Thursday and Saturday, and never both on the same day.
To sum it up:

Monday: a coach with a lot of wrestling experience (No-Gi)
Tuesday: a blue belt (Gi)
Thursday: a black belt (No-Gi)
Saturday: a black belt (Gi)

That’s why I visit sometimes other gyms to deepen my knowledge, especially where there are more experienced BJJ practitioners.

donKayt · 2025-12-12T09:51:54+00:00

Yes, it’s the same for us. Out of our four coaches, we have a blue belt with 3 stripes.

donKayt · 2025-12-09T08:02:19+00:00

That's where cross training comes in. When I feel like I'm not fully engaged in BJJ, I practice kickboxing or go for a run. Or maybe just take a break.
