Getting my blue belt on the 26th, need tips! | Thread profile

I have my blue belt test on the 26th of this month for BJJ under Joe Moreira.Im 17 and have been training for a year. I just want some tips from those of you that have had a blue belt test. Thanks im really excited to get my blue belt ...Haters leave

just handle

Personally, I don't think there should be belt tests. You should get your belts when your instructor feels good about you representing him with that color belt. If I were you, I would focus on being technically accurate rather than fast or strong. Don't give up proper grips to show how fast you can tap someone. Control in BJJ is much more important than overwhelming strength or speed. (...

A test? I train with Victor Huber, and he does not give tests, so I have little advice to give. I would ask that when you're done, you post what you had to do and how it went. Good luck!

God, don't people know how to make single threads nowadays?

Does your school do whippings? At my school you had to walk the gauntlet, taking a slap in the front and back from every guy there. When I had my belt test there were like 30 people. It hurts like a bitch, I'll tell you that. By the end I could holdly hold my hands up any more.

Blue belt they are looking to see the techniques you have retained along with how you roll. As you move up, the same is true but with less room for mistakes and errors. My instructor explained it as if it were a funnel. The higher the belt the smaller the space for error.

Just a formality. If you're testing, you're ready. Even if they think it's a big enough deal to "test" and you blank and fail the thing, they're just gonna let you test again b/c it's not as if failing the test causes your skill level to drop. But, I definitely agree w/ Rooku... be respectful and don't joke around during the test
