3 BLACK BELTS Reveal what they WISH they knew as WHITE BELTS | BJJ BASICS
Hey everybody! One more video for the channel. If you're planning to start jiu-jitsu, just started training, or you're still in your first few months on the mats, this video is essential for you. I walked around our gym and talked to some of our highest-level black belts, coaches with decades of experience, and asked them one simple question: "What advice do you wish you had when you started jiu jitsu?" Their answers are pure gold, and I promise this wisdom can save you years of frustration and potentially prevent serious injuries.

Coach Luke shares three game-changing pieces of advice: tap early and tap often (your ego in practice doesn't matter - longevity does), don't compare yourself to others (compare yourself to who you were six months ago), and find a gym that matches your goals (a 45-year-old looking for self-defense shouldn't train at an MMA gym full of teenage wrestlers). Coach Matt, who's been training for 26 years, emphasizes leaving your ego at the door, staying consistent with your training, and making sure it's fun, this is family and community, not just about being tough. Coach Deon adds that you should come to learn rather than win, take risks and chances to get better, keep having fun so you stay consistent, and always remain a student no matter what belt you achieve.

These insights from experienced black belts will save you years of trial and error. Make sure you watch until the end, leave a like, and share this with anyone planning to start their jiu jitsu journey!
