(funny to watch me wake up and almost go back to sleep again, i apologized about 300 times to him for almost hurting his eyes)

oh and: ibjjf whitebelt ruleset. no toeholds, no calfcrushers, vaporizers, kneebars.... q_q

[Eddie Bravo]

Which one are you?

[Rafael Undertaker]

oh yes im retarded. the one with the red rashguard and blue pants

[LuT]

Dude you are very fast and very solid in positions... i wonder what belt the guys here would rank you...
cus to me you showed no sing of a system in your movement , maybe you was just looking for the mount i dont know
but to me a movement like that with no system should be a high blue belt on the edge of getting a purple.
I dont see you getting better then that tho if you dont join a system like 10p cus at some point you have to say ok this is the path im going to do , and you ( meaning your opponent ) can TRY and stop it in order to get concentrated repetition with the little time we get to train or fight guys that would tighten your game up.

Cheers i dont mean no disrespect tho hope you take my words with the kindness that they are truly written

quite disrespectful to call me on the edge of getting a purple ;D thats some interesting observation, sadly there is no 10thP anywhere near me except for amsterdam (about 3h one way drive). but i think i can find some extra time to drill some 10thP warmups. been training for about 3 years at summer with a long time off in the beginning and training only once a week for the first year, stepped it up to 3 and now 4 times (or more if possible) about a year ago

*edit* i mainly train "gi", having a 3 stripe whitebelt by now

Ive aways wondered how THEY give out the stripes and what is the reasoning behind it.

i can tell you: my old gym had a blue belt instructor, every seminar you attended and payed for earned you a stripe. new gym does not give out any stripes at all and personally i don't think its worth trying to slice any belt to pieces by putting tape on it. my white belt turned grey and i regulary wash away blood and sweat (mostly from other guys). id rather stay the whitebelt that fucks up purples than the purple that gets rekt by whitebelts all the time

Yeah i know dude but i imagine is better for the girls if you show em a color then a worn out white belt
And im pretty sure a person with a white belt wrecking blue and purple belts has some psycho problems...
I mean what are they hiding form right?
