umm hes actually been a black belt for quite some time now. the only reasons he didnt get promoted is because he rarey(although sometimes) trains in the gi, and his head bjj instructor(guys at att) lives in florida while he lives in washington.

I've seen more than one guy get a jits tat when they first start at our club and then quit a few months later .

Well, BJJ comes from Judo, which is Japanese, and most Japanese nouns are written in Chinese characters, so....



edit: for the record, the above post wasn't showing for some reason when I made this post. And for some reason I couldn't even see my own post for a long time after I made it.
 
LOL at two people owning that dude.

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, THE CHINAMEN STARTED IT ALL!!!!

An 8-year blue belt is probably an 8-year blue belt because they lack the desire and dedication to train regularly. Unless it's extenuating circumstances, chances are they aren't too serious about BJJ and take long periods of time away from it. Not saying always, but you should be able to get to purple if you've been training consistently for 8 years.

maybe this is one of those circumstances, but I know a couple of guys who are 8 year blue belts and train 2-3x per week or so. Both are way better than than a lot of purples but they just don't believe in belt tests and all.
 
Its your body do what you want. Why are you asking some people you dont even know what they think?

Yes... But to my defense, joining the military impeded my promotions and training due to my fluctuating schedule... I'm not even the same state as my original academy.. I been training judo, wrestling, bjj for years.. Shit I got purples and probably browns at my old academy that got their blue after i did.........

1. pls do research before coming to conclusion. 2. yup I am married to the art. Bjj changed my lifestyle, and as a student and assistant instructor and kids instructor I seen firsthand how it can change a persons life and they don't even know it. I'm talkign bout maury povich makeover stories and etc... but whatever bro.. make judgements.. im proud of my tats..
 
here is what i got on my ribs:

Yeah, I'm not sure, but I think the Japanese have their own form of writing...at least 3 that I know of.

Edit: Just wiki'd it. There are 3..fuck, Kanji is of chinese origin. Goddamn unoriginal japanese.

Why would you ever have to be a black belt to get a BJJ tattoo? Why do you have to be an elite level? Why cant you just enjoy BJJ a lot? Why couldnt someone who considers BJJ a life changing experience get a tattoo? And why cant a white, blue or purple belt be focused enough on BJJ that they know they are down for life? Most of the people (not referring to you whatsoever when I say this, so dont take offense) that cast judgments about tattoos, or make "the rules" for who should be getting what do not understand tattoo culture or are trying to place their own values and meaning on them, when in fact its a personal thing. Im a blue belt. Ive put everything in my life, bands, school, touring, working, etc on the back shelf for jiu jitsu. Why? Because I like it a lot and want to live it rather than just do it. So if a black belt doesnt like it, we can roll. He might beat me, but Ill still have a triangle tattooed on my arm, and Ill still be having more fun than him.

obviously youre a white belt who wants a bjj tattoo. the reason why you dont get bjj tat's at an early level is the same reason you dont wear a red gi as a white/blue belt.... because you dont deserve it. stay around a bjj academy for 5 years... put in your time... move up the ranks. one thing that is always a sure bet in a jiu jitsu academy, is changing faces.

the ones who last are few... the ones who claim theyll last are many.
