We all believe you.I submitted a black belt and after that the dude stop being nice to me so i stop practicing BJJ.
am still a white belt but is not my fault that I obsessed for 3 months watching Eddie bravo tutorials.
Cool. Just curious-- your flair says pro fighter. Kickboxer? If MMA I would assume you'd be at high blue belt level from day 1, at least no-gi.

For a person to already be as deep into their martial art journey as yourself, & still be willing to try new things, shows a true level of passion. Hespect
So i kinda have wanted to do it for 10 years or so. And i finaly got to join a bjj beginner class at bodø jiu jitsu.
We went into the class with a open mind and a very humble beginner attitude. Because that is what we are. I had a friend with me. He is a karate black belt with no bjj or judo experience.
But yeah.. it was super fun! Very cool to get the feeling of being brand new at a martial art again.
And all the guys there was super nice and friendly to get two total beginners to visit.
So yeah. The gym is just less then two hours drive from here. So i have just ordered my first ever gi online.
How can you say that he would be blue belt if you have no idea how long he did MMA?
MMA gyms have pure BJJ classes, including GI
If he were a pro MMA fighter without at least blue belt LEVEL (not blue BELT, just that level) BJJ, that would be suicide unless his TDD and ability to scramble back to his feet were ridiculous.

You forgot the "at least" part in your post.
Read it again, Karen.
Yes, no-gi, if he were a pro MMA fighter. Because otherwise it would be suicideYou would assume he would be at blue belt level day 1. That's what you wrote.
Nice. How often do you plan on training bjj? Are you still going to train your striking? Any plans on become the striking coach for the bjj gym? I see that happening a lot at bjj places here in the states.
I disagree with that. There are some pretty big differences between MMA and BJJ, enough that a guy can be ok in MMA but be very much a white belt on the ground in pure BJJ - just knowing enough about grappling to survive in MMA.Yes, no-gi, if he were a pro MMA fighter.

Let's have some examples then. You should be able to come up with a few pro mma fighters who, rolling no-gi, don't have blue belt level skills.I disagree with that.
