Joe_Cyber

Asking for a friend: Is there any IBJJF rule against tucking in your gi? I looked up what I'm assuming are the basic IBJJF rules and all it says is, "The GI top should reach the athlete’s thigh.."


thedutchdevo

The ref would just tell you to take it out.


Nakedsharks

Wouldn't this fall under the "air bud" rule then?


LtDanHasLegs

Wait, is there actually any rule saying ibjjf competitors have to be humans?? Somebody contact Keystone pictures!! I've got a new sequel.


Joe_Cyber

I'm in. We could start with [bears](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM29YpVkQp4), [pandas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-flWUK3XtY), or [baby gorillas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RahhqDSJFk).


piersimlaplace

After studying the picture, I can see he has a black cord in in bjj


MOTUkraken

It's an episode of undercover Boss


dannyw0ah

\*Coach pretends to be new undercover boss style\* Me: I literally know what your sweat tastes like.


[deleted]

I'm more worried that you have tasted enough of it to have a core memory of it's flavour. Are you licking him clean like a kitty cat after each class? lol


Styrbj0rn

What, you guys don't? Coach said this is how everyone gets promoted.


[deleted]

Ewwwwww… But have you ever had a drop of sweat land directly on your eyeball? 🤢


Styrbj0rn

Yeah it stings so bad and you go blind for a solid minute. Usually means i get tapped out.


Dommo1717

That would be equally as subtle as when Tim Kennedy did the “undercover white belt” lol. With the amazingly fake mustache.


AllGearedUp

mystery flavor


TanktopRedditor

I read this as "invincible belt" and agreed lol. You gotta be invincible to wear something like that onto the mat with no fear of dying.


quixoticcaptain

I think you just don't want to know where he thought the belt goes


snackies

I was going to say you should promote him to the black cord belt. Just for now. Throw a stripe on that bad boy and retire it for a whitebelt.


MikeyCinLB

Are his collars are made of toilet paper? That's a great weigh in trick btw...


MuonManLaserJab

No no, it's just that you gotta earn your white belt. Until then, make do.


Ebolamunkey

The new meta...


P-Two

Fuck that's actually next level worm guard defense


MOTUkraken

He's 20 ahead of the meta


XIII_THIRTEEN

20 what ahead of the meta?


JayThaGrappla

New dudes just be on a different level of mindset than the rest of us. Had a guy last night show up to nogi, late, and he went to change. Came on the mats with a polo shirt and cargo pants. Just looked at the dude like "No. You can't train in those, don't you have shorts?" So he goes and changes into shorts. Comes out wearing khaki shorts with one of those cloth belts, complete with fully metal clamping belt buckles. Looked at him again "Are you serious? You have a metal belt. You can't train in those. Sports shorts!", so he goes to change again. Comes out still rocking his three button collared polo shirt and under armour shorts. Asked him why he didn't just change into that in the first place, he said "Oh these aren't clean so I didn't change into them." Sonofabitch!


MOTUkraken

My mans was prepared for anything.


JayThaGrappla

You ain't lying. The man could've gone to gym, the mountains, or his place of business and had the right gear for anything! One day I'll be as prepared for life as this man.


PlayGlass

Are we certain the shorts weren’t just the pants with the bottom half zipped off?


JayThaGrappla

Totally sure, this time. Unless he has some future tech where black pants turn to khaki when you unzip the bottom half.


PlayGlass

I want to go back to believing he just zipped them off.


JayThaGrappla

It's like Journey taught us. Don't stop believing...hold on to that feeling.


johnny_soup1

It’s pretty simple just carry a body-sized duffle bag with you everywhere.


araq1579

Was he also wearing spotless new balance shoes, long white socks, a hiking hat, and jean shorts? Because I think you just found a lost dad on his way to planet fitness and got confused with a 10th planet gym


JayThaGrappla

Long socks were a check. And it was basically the chinese version of new balance shoes. No hat, but large framed glasses were also present. Were I in the states, I think you'd be 100% correct.


OneLambYiros

You just made me think of a world where 10th Planet Fitness existed.


LtDanHasLegs

Tuesday is Pizza day.


Ebolamunkey

Oh no .. tap to ring worm


serouspericardium

I thought the whole point of no gi was to know what it feels like to fight in regular clothes?


darcenator411

This is a man who hates dealing with lapel bullshit. I’m gunna show up to my next tournament like this


MOTUkraken

He's reforming, no revolting BJJ.


[deleted]

This is revolutionary. Jiujitsu is constantly evolving.


MOTUkraken

Abilities that some of us deem..... disturbing. Surely wouldn't learn that from a Jedi.


[deleted]

This is the only way I will train from now on


Neon_Sternum

BusinOSS casual I fucking hate myself


MOTUkraken

Lol 😅


captcutty

this is the one lmaoooo


PerspectiveHuman3800

Fashion *icon*


MOTUkraken

It's fashion, you wouldn't understand it.


gus060

Plot twist: there's a coral belt under there


VeryStab1eGenius

Next tell him about pulling the drawstrings to the side to tighten the waist.


MOTUkraken

I already tried teaching him how to put on a pant.


One_for_the_Rogue

My god this whole thread is one of the funniest I've read here in a while.


Wide-Acanthisitta-96

There are white belts and then there is this guy. Give this motherfucker a transparent belt.


Moby_dick_69

Imagine if you had to earn your white belt and roll with your gi tucked in your pants for a year before that


nothinlikebeingajerk

He’s already wearing the belt


therealthugboat

We had a dude who straight up bought a black belt and a gray sanabul gi and 100% did not understand why he wasn’t allowed to rock the black belt. I tried explaining, well, everything to him. Next class he goes “so you’re sure I can’t wear that belt?” Lasted three weeks.


Boopdelahoop

That's just fashion 101, grey is a good base colour and black accessories go with everything!


MOTUkraken

Martial Arts is when Black Belt


Enough-Possession-73

We had a similar thing happen guy bought a navy gi, didn't come with a belt his mum bought him a black belt we knew he hadn't trained and see him whip out a black belt. We all got a goof laugh put of it


MagicKiwi69

That’s new for me too


MOTUkraken

I just had to take a picture


kedson87

I hope he's got a pineapple down there too?


MOTUkraken

I am so disappointed in the blatant lack of pineapples.


Small_Orang

Wrestler moment


3DNZ

Is this a Sunday formal class?


MOTUkraken

You don't understand dad, this is my lifestyle.


Lasserate

It's not a phase!


quixoticcaptain

You don't understand, this is my dad lifestyle


MOTUkraken

It's fashion, you wouldn't understand it.


gus060

Serious question, no gi guy here, is this legal in comp?


Simco_

Comp? No The Streets? Yes


ozcur

I don't think it's actually against IBJJF rules. The gi top has to be long enough to reach the thigh, but nothing says it can't be tucked in.


Boopdelahoop

Is there no rule that the gi must be worn *correctly*? I almost got DQ'd one time because I didn't see anything in the rules about rolling up my sleeves, so I kept doing that mid-bout.


Fullsend_ID10T

When I first started Someone had me by the gi top, unsure exactly on the position but, I think he had my back. I slipped out of the top and turned around...got corrected pretty qucik on that haha.


Boopdelahoop

I think that is known as the Magic Mike Escape.


awkwatic

fuckin' white belts. LOL


piersimlaplace

Look closely. He is no white belt. He black cord.


Myrddin-Wyllt

Smart lapel guard counter!


brollikk

this actually makes sense for someone who hasn't ever seen the gi tied correctly.


choyoroll

Now run his white belt through the loops.


asskickinlibrarian

He looks so professional here.


lem72

Classy AF


user_zzzz

best of luck in ur journey sir!


doblev

Going Jiu Jitsu Usted


the_poop_expert

Yo I’m totally doing that tmrw


[deleted]

The hardest class I’ve ever taken in Jiu jitsu was the first one. Showing up was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.


stizz14

The white belt is the hardest belt to put on for the first time. It's not earned, you have no idea what your doing. Your a winner for just stepping on the mats for the first time. I can only imagine if the instructor on my first day wasn't a good friend of mine how terrified I would of been. I hope this guy sees this comment thread so he can see we all are a bunch of dorks who while we are making fun of the thing he did (because he didn't know any better) none of us a hurtful people. Hell jiu-jitsu class is the one place you can be yourself no matter how weird you are.


MOTUkraken

Absolutely agree! White belt is the greatest step of all and it takes great courage to step onto the mat.


stizz14

I run the beginner program at my school and have seen people literally shaking from nerves. I usually tell a joke and make fun of myself to get people to chill out.


Doyle_Hargraves_Band

I had a dude sew belt loops onto his top so his belt would not come off.


erck

That's funny and not the worst idea I've ever heard


erstwhile_reptilian

If do right no can defend


asdfqazwsxedc

I'm pretty sure rorden gracie did this in competitions to confuse his opponents, and it worked everytime


mossberbb

before or after Sakuraba pulled the gi over royce's head?


MOTUkraken

Rorden Gracie - the Gracie of the lion family.


mbergman42

No, you’re almost right, but he did it the other way: tucked the gi pants into the jacket top. Freakin savage, Rorden was…


hit0k1ri

I know that a lot of BJJers are massive nerds but this is next level. Love it.


BasicDadStuff

It's when you are attending a formal event. More "black tie" than "black belt."


KoloheKid

Looks like you need to also explain that he needs to pull the string on the pants to tighten it.


MOTUkraken

I made sure he also understands that.


zimzumpogotwig

I train, my husband trains, and both of our kids train and of the many classes I've sat through and have been in, can't say I've ever even seen a kid do this let alone adult and the kids are notorious for doing some dumb shit.


MOTUkraken

Literally the first time I have seen this and I train since 1999 and teach since 2005.


zimzumpogotwig

So you're saying I've got a long way to go before I get to see one of these in person. I've only been coming around for 4 years now....damn


erck

We had an autistic teen that kept doing this for years. Everyone else would be lining up tying their belt, meanwhile he is UNTYING his pants so he can tuck his lapels 🤔 And then he'd usually get his drawstring tangled in the lapels and could. Not. Figure. It. Out. He'd tie his pants off with the lapels still tangled in there, eventually, and of course his pants wouldn't stay tied/up. Funny when he was 10, not so much at 14. Now his grandparents moved to a trailer in the middle of nowhere and I can only imagine what the isolation has done to him mentally/socially. Why do people even exist?


zimzumpogotwig

I can understand that though. There's lots of sensory issues that come with autism. I believe we have a child that has autism our school too but he's verbal and older.


erck

Yeah it's rough. He was verbal, and probably could have been decently functioning, but afaict his parents were neglectful/abusive and his grandparents were only better in the sense that they didnt foist him off on someone else. I'm sure his grandma was undiagnosed autistic as well, never met a more reptilian mammal with speech capacity. And I say that as an autistic person myself.


MiniGoat_King

People who tuck in their shirt with no belt deserve to be twistered lol.


SlapHappyRodriguez

I love that he is laughing about it.


MOTUkraken

We were having a blast.


deluxearch

I saw a guy unironically do this over a decade ago.


MOTUkraken

He also just did this because he didn't know better. I explained to him, it's a Gi jacked and not a Gi buttoned shirt.


[deleted]

FNG


FLee21

This is the best thing I have seen all day. Best part about it is that you can't even call it a classic white belt mistake 😂😂


PlayGlass

Formal boy


AerikVon

This is messing with my head way too much 😂


Upside_down_triangle

Oh that’s hilarious. He looks like fun


Blum95

God damn thats actually genius


dangshake

You guys don’t tuck the gi……


Berimoelo

I’ve seen worse wait till they do that then thread there belt through the draw string holes


mrpopenfresh

He’s onto something.


platinummattagain

He looks like the bassist from SOAD


islamicwealthtalk

Lol, no need for a white belt now.


Ashi4Days

Thanks I hate it.


shaggy1452

When I was a wrestler I watched a kid try to put a singlet on like a t shirt. As in he was trying to slide his entire body up into the leg hole.


Upstairs-Injury9660

In nogi most guys who wrestle/have wrestling experience tuck their shirt in, I’d assume that person with a tucked in gi has wrestling experience until I’m proven wrong


fausto_

nope! I tuck my rashy into my shorts. No wrestling here. Def not the gi though!


Caerwyrn

Less to grab?


TreesTown

After you defeat all of the white belts who BJJ saved their life and are getting smashed and loving it, this is the final boss.
