What Is A BJJ Black Belt? (Episode 372)

We chat about the recent story of "Derek Moneyberg," who received a BJJ black belt in 3.5 years by doing only private lessons. Chewy shares a couple stories of teaching students who only wanted to do private lessons and wanted to get promoted, the limitations of only doing private lessons, "celebrity belts," why knowledge doesn't always equal skill, the characteristics of a legit black belt, and what Chewy looks for in a black belt.
