Hi, I am brand new and this is my first post. I got promoted too the rank of blue belt about 1 month ago I train and live in california. Ever since my promotion I feal like a new grappler I feal like I have submission power I am tapping out most of my fellow blue belts now on the daily ever since I recieved my blue belt. Has any one else ever experienced this or have training partners that you have noticed a change in when the recieved there blue belt. This is a serious question I know its weird but I feal like I have powers ever since I recieved the belt. I would like too here other stories about this I am trying too figure out why I got so much better so quick.
yes, but don't underestimate it. confidence is extremely powerful, and the belt can definitely do that sometimes.
The only thing my blue belt has given me was a heightened sense of expectation. I now feel like I'm expected to do more as a blue than I did as a white, but that's OK.
I didn't notice any special powers when I wore mine... It's all worn and tattered now. It does hold some special memories.
I saw this thread and that was the exact thing I was thinking. I clicked on it... and there it was. Stole my thunder!
