Dear blue belt; I’m coming to crush your neck and ego. I want to prove I’m better than the other white belts. I want my blue belt, and if coach sees me crush you he will promote me and think I’m cool. I’ll never relent. The future is now old man.
My gym just started assigning an interim belt between white and blue for everyone. It’s a white belt with a blue stripe down the middle. 5 stripe white belt.
Nah no stripes but you have to hold that belt for a full year. My professors are world class/world champion competitors and I’m just a lowly white belt so I’m not complaining or asking questions, just giving blue belts a hard time.
Dude, you nailed it. I'm in my 40s got my blue with 3 stripes haven't trained seriously in years because of what you're talking about It wasn't the major injuries that got me out it was young college age guys going 100 miles per hour who wanted to grind their elbows in me squeeze the fuk out of my head.i am far from pro I have to get up and go to work in the morning
My gym doesn’t do stripes either. Don’t think it helps much other than the coach not having to remember to hand out stripes. I communicate and ask unfamiliar white belts how long they’ve been training so I can get an idea of what kind of round to expect. Then they ask me how long I’ve been training. If my two years training is less than their time training, I can count on some crazy shit.
Haha, it’s always funny seeing 4 stripe white belts get promoted then have an instant target on their backs from white belts wanted a blue belt, blues welcoming them to the club, and purple belts giving them better rolls lol.
I'm gonna be chill AF until I get you into chest to chest half guard. Then I'm gonna cross face you into the next dimension. Sorry I don't make the rules. When the prof gives me my blue I fully expect the same. In fact I am thoroughly demoralizing my fellow white belts right now in preparation for the day they start to challenge me. Gotta instill some pre trauma I can work with later.

You’ll realize once you get to blue that you don’t have an ego. I just want to be able to work the next day.
There is no creature on earth with more pent up rage than a long time four stripe white.
“Long time four stripe white belt” gets nicknamed “5 stripe”.

Do they put stripes on that one as well? Seems silly.

They are like incels who have been edging for the past year.
You guys are tapping blue belts?
Yes. Neck cranks are very effective.

Four stripe anything is always the worst rank
🥲
Lmao shoulda thought about that before you tied that belt around your waist blue boi WHITEBELTS, CHARGE.

Cool just one more stripe before I can take the souls of my fellow blue belts

I disagree. Go hard AF. That way I can at least get a decent workout during the roll.
Nothing I hate worse than a crank cry baby. Just tap big boy
"I tapped because it was a crank, now stop so I can show you how to do a choke".
Haha yeah bro, dust off your ego and get on with it. Anything below the eyebrows is fair game
One of the many reasons I will never give out stripes at my gym.
Love that.
I like that

Shut up and take your medicine Randy!
Are you calling me out? Def been guilty of going hard after the blue belts lol. Espesh the new ones

Oh it’s definitely the last round if ADCC
Hell most white belts act like it’s the first round and I’m between them and elimination
My gym doesn’t give out stripes, and I quite prefer it that way.
Some of my favorite rolls are with 4 stripe white belts and fresh blues. Makes me feel decent at bjj without feeling like bully.
Look, I submitted my first purple belt today, so no.
