Blue/white belt?

[BaconTastesGood]

I've heard that Alliance has started pushing a "blue/white" belt as a transition from white to blue...anyone seen or heard anything about this? Supposedly Mohler in Irving, TX is doing this.

haha I like how the instructor is a black belt in (5th Degree Black Belt U.S.K.J.J. and founder
bullet, 4th Degree Black Belt Kombat Jiu-Jitsu and founder bullet, 1st Degree Black Belt Prowling Tiger Hapkido bullet, 1st Degree Black Belt Kentai Ju Jitsu) and only a blue belt in BJJ under Rigan Machado & Marcos Santos Association.

I think if a BJJ school only uses belts and no stripes, then it makes sense to have a rank in between white and blue.

As silly as it is, belts do make people feel a sense of progress. Beginners are very vulnerable, and they are usually very conscious of the fact that even though they may have been training over a year, they still wear the same belt as a guy who walks in off the street for his very first day. They don't really feel like a part of the BJJ family until blue belt. A white/blue belt or something along those lines can help alleviate that.

If your school does use the 4 stripe to a belt method, I don't really see the point. 5 plain belts + 4 stripes * 4 belts = 21 different ranks. That should be a fine enough scale to show progression.

Lame.

 

[Mikey Triangles]

seriously, like we really need another division for blue and white belts...

Well, at least he's swallowed his pride and donned the white belt. A lot of these TMA guys can't bring themselves to do that and go back to square one. He's opened his mind. Good for him.

True, I hope he continues to practice bjj and get a black belt. Bc I have no idea what all that other jiu jitsu stuff was.

 

[IChinaManI]

That's the gayest thing ever. Do away with stripes too. Belts all the way.

I have to admit I've never heard of Prowling Tiger Hapkido...

 

[FLMikeATT]

ATT has a green belt in between white and blue.

I know a lot of places do stripes.

BJJ Blue Belt claiming hes a 5th degree black belt in a crappy art he "founded." XD

 

[Goat Meal]

How can you be a 5th degree black belt in an art you founded? Aren't you a grand master if you created your own MA?

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, or in this case in the land of the obese LARPers the BJJ Blue Belt is Grandmaster.
