What a nice sensei this man is and what a nice class. i love the invironment. so much friendliness and still a very hard class and test. and aggression was strong. i dont know where this dojo is but i strongly recommend this to anybody who wants to practise BJJ. its very hard to find a good teacher, a demanding class along with this freindliness and respect in this class.
@Javy765 blue belt is generally about 100 classes. you need to get 5 stripes to get a blue belt. each stripe is 20 classes, so after 5 stripes(100 classes) you can test for a blue belt.
i dont want this to sound like a stupid question, and i know you see some in the video, but if i take BJJ will i learn take downs? like throwing somebody to the floor? iv seen it with regular JJ. i really love submissions but i also really love takedowns.
@carlsongracieteam After I tested for by blue (I was a white for a year), Keith put two stripes on my blue after my test (previous experience). You get stripes after 100 classes of training. I average 5 training days a week. In the Pedro Sauer assoc, you get a stripe every 100 classes after blue belt (meaning, it takes 500 classes to go for purple and then 500 more for brown and then 500 more to test for black. White belt is 100 classes total in order to test for blue). Hope that helps.
@Submissions101 yup helps a ton didnt know how the pedro sauer assoc. worked forgot keith was a black belt under sauer, i got my blue and 1st stripe on my 16th birthday good luck on your bjj journey.
throughout my endeavors of JJ anywhere as well as muay thai I am going to be honest, Ari doesnt roll the best in competition and hes not very fast or strong, but he is an excellent teacher and that is his talent. You cant question someones knowledge or ability to teach because of how he competes. I have had multiple teachers who are world class and cant teach for shit. Whole thing is up in the air I guess, just dont hate on the guy for no reason.
Thats the way it should be work hard for every belt, thats something i personally dont like about belts in sports. I dont know if its true but if you compare east to west in sports like TKD, (B)JJ, Karate, Judo etc i feel like most people who get a belt in the west isnt all that good, and they get there belt way too easy.
Like Mr Owen says you know you worked your ass off for your belt, so you can be proud of it. How can you be proud off your belt if you havent worked your ass off for it.
@Svittidiu depends on what acadamy you train under but most commonly you are thrown by your coaches then you have to run the gauntlet (belt whippings) which is not very nice and painful as hell
Just curious.. why the chokeout to passout at the end? He said something about checking what they are made of, and that he WANTED them to know when to tap out, and he did. Or was it that he just hung on a bit too long? :-) Just curious, nothing bad to say about it! Keep training!!!
@shockwavecrisis No he wants that guy to learn a lesson...HE HAS TO TAP! He has to simply hold it the longest, but if he doesn't tap before he faints-the belt is back in the Professor's hands.
to answer the question below, it usually takes about a yr to a yr and a half to earn a blue belt based on ur athletic background. belt promotion in bjj is very slow compared to most martial arts. my instructor took 11 yrs to earn his blackbelt, though i suspect he could have done it quicker if not for personal committments.
I will feel VERY confident in my daughters skills when she finally earns her Blue Belt in BJJ. She is 9 right now, and has been training for over a year in BJJ. Only 7 more years to go before that Blue Belt! :)
i practiced different kinds of martial arts before... but this one is the best to fight one opponent...i haven't seen any martial artist that defeats a bjj player not even once...
the only weakness i think it has you can't do ONLY Jujitsu against multiple opponents in other martial arts you can...may be i think this way because i have no advanced knowledge of the game...
This video was pretty inspiring. I also train in Pedro Sauer's BJJ association. I'm in my 8th month of training now, and I've done nearly all of the techniques that were demonstrated in this video.
Now I guess I know what to expect when my instructor decides that I am ready to test for my blue! Probably 6+ more months from now.
I completely agree with your statement, StickKeeze. Very inspiring video, indeed. After about a year and a half of training, I finally took my blue belt test a week ago. An extremely difficult testing session, but very rewarding upon completion. When the official seminar for diplomas/belt promotion comes, Ill be happy to have received my blue belt after turning 16 just a few months ago. Best of luck on your journey of BJJ!
Awesome!! I love how a BB under Pedro Sauer is making his White Belts learn the basic self defense aspects of GJJ FIRST!! I would expect nothing less w/ such a close line to the GM himself; Helio.
You have a lot of peeps on different boards questioning your credibility... They say you never compete, that you bought your Blue belt from Eddie Bravo. I can see you earned this belt and I am no one to question anything your doing. You look pretty good to me...
There will always be people questioning everything out there. They want you to fit into their own world view. I didn't purchase my purple belt from Eddie nor did I purchase one from Keith Owen. It is a lot of hard work and I have nothing but respect for 10th Planet, BJJ, JJJ and other art forms. As I have always said "stop wasting your timing being negative and do what makes you happy"
@Submissions101 I could NEVER imagine someone like Eddie Bravo, or ANY respectable instructor, would allow someone to "purchase a belt!" He would NEVER belittle the hard work in his system like that. Your skill and technique is clean and VERY well taught! I ALWAYS enjoy seeing the latest vids!! :-)
@Submissions101 If you didn't purchase your belt from Eddie, then what you're saying is an Eddie Bravo purple belt is only as good as a 4 stripe white belt or blue belt at best?
Kinda new to the whole martial arts stuff but im really enjoying watching your movies, there's flow in there :) ( And your teachers too btw, he seems like the kind of man who commands respect just by his appearance )
That is Tristan, one of my students. We kept cycling though new people and it makes you tired for sure. Tristan has a highlight real on sub 101 too...he's a good kid!
I was told the more often you are choked, the more susceptible to being choked out in the future. (You will loose conciousness faster and more easily.) And you should tap relativly quickly after having a choke applied on you.
Much respect for picking up the gi, I think it's the best route to take IMO. It'll refine your entire ground game(gi no gi). I know 10th planet has closed it's door to the gi, so i commend you for opening you and your team up to the gi. You might find you love it more than no-gi. PROPS!
My stamina sucked ;-) I really need to up that big time to be honest. It was a great experience and my respect goes out to all the BJJ players out there!
yea i think we all could use more stamina but urs looked real nice even tho ur facial expression was of *damn wtf* lol but ur a beast bro much respect to u always
this is awesome i just started bjj in the beginning of august and i love it i did shotakan karate for about 2 years and obtained a brown belt but man is this different i cannot wait to move up and constatnly learn. What exactly is the testing that usualy expected with the blue belt?
This shows you meant what you said when you went to the Gracie academy.You are a great example to the rest of us who often lower ourselves by trying to put down other martial arts or even different variations of the same thing.Thus going against what martial arts are supposed to do,which is to improve the lives of individuals both physically as well as morally.Great Work Brother.
Yes, blue is after white in BJJ. I've done some other stuff over the years ;-) (10th Planet purple belt and JJJ black belt) but learning BJJ from the ground up is amazing, just like the other arts I study.
im going to taking my blue belt test soon, what are the requirements, my instructor told me something about 32 moves & sweeps, what is that supoesed to mean? what kind of stuff do youi recomend i work on?
very cool ari much respect bro congrats on the blue , i know the work u have to put in to get that.....o and thanks for submissions 101 great stuff always watchin
Dude i never could understand the whole thing at the end, what did he say ''if you dont tap i take your belt back''...= ! Glad Dave Camarillo doesnt do that,but he doesnt give belts away, you do earn it he just doesnt do that at the end
Keith wasn't being serious. Some schools whip with their belts others have long conversations along the beach. This was just a rite of passage...and well worth it.
YES!!!! I am not sure why so many people think one cannot do 10th Planet NOGI jiu Jitsu and BJJ. We do this plus JJJ. We are here to bridge gaps between the styles and arts. We love anything jiu jitsu. Each system offers something amazing and we are proud to be Eddie's students and also Keith's students.
check the submissions101 channel here on tube a masterpiece of art packed in to outstanding explanation of various technics and submissions by ari and his 10th planet team.;)
dude, great stuff, but I could hardly pay attention with that AWESOME song in the background... are you really friends with a guy in thsi band? talent!
Our background is varied (purple belt under Eddie and Japanese JJ black belts) . We decide to do this to make our gi work more crisp. It is always nice to have options.
if u check the techniqes u can see for urself hes explaining it very good and they all work i try them in class one by one.i dont think uit matters what belt u have if u really know what ur talking about.but nits a reasonable question beacause many people teach and dont really have a clue what theyre talking about.and then the student get used to the wrong techniqes.
I have a question. Normally martials arts such as tae kwon do, and karate have what you call figures such as chon gi, and such. Does bjj do this as well?
liked this video a lot, rolling after working out is tough but thats fairly standard, as or more difficult then rolling 5-10 guys in a row and having to get the tap
Great job Ari and Dan! Congratulations! It's a privilege to have a top-notch teacher like Mr. Keith Owen. Hope to see you down at his school in the future!
You know, I can't help but smirk when I see these guys roll and then do burpees. They looked exhausted. It reminded me when I got my white-blue belt. We had to jump rope (3 min.), burpee w 3 pushups (3 min.), Sprawl (3 min.), Single-Leg Defense (until the instructor felt like stopping), Squats (3 min...) after that I was delirious..there were other things we did but I can't remember. Congrats to those guys for the hard work!!!!
maybe i should get tested for my blue belt somewhere, I think I am pretty familiar with everything I saw in the vid. The instructor was awesome I would love to train with that guy! He seems like he has a natural talent for teaching, something missing from many instructors regardless of discipline.
Does Dan have prior grappling experience? Just wondering how he is tapping Ari when Ari has a black belt in JJJ and purple under Eddie? Must be fatigue
what is needed exactly to test for a new belt in jujitsu? are there forms like in taekwondo or karate?

Dude i never could understand the whole thing at the end, what did he say ''if you dont tap i take your belt back''...= ! Glad Dave Camarillo doesnt do that,but he doesnt give belts away, you do earn it he just doesnt do that at the end

Keith wasn't being serious. Some schools whip with their belts others have long conversations along the beach. This was just a rite of passage...and well worth it.

I think it has something to do with admitting defeat instead of losing your life.

He does that I think becuase 3 guys in a row in our school didnt tap and went out...

sorry If I'm alittle delayed in what has happened but do you not do 10th planet system anymore? seems like the same dojo...
hyubgaek 2 years ago
YES!!!! I am not sure why so many people think one cannot do 10th Planet NOGI jiu Jitsu and BJJ. We do this plus JJJ. We are here to bridge gaps between the styles and arts. We love anything jiu jitsu. Each system offers something amazing and we are proud to be Eddie's students and also Keith's students.
Hope that helps!

Sorry for the mishap. That is great that your trying to bridge the gap to those styles!! Good luck!

dude, great stuff, but I could hardly pay attention with that AWESOME song in the background... are you really friends with a guy in thsi band? talent!
yieldingbamboo 2 years ago
So you've been teaching people as a whitebelt this whole time? I don't think that's very wise as your technique probably isn't very refined.
philibuster968 2 years ago
Our background is varied (purple belt under Eddie and Japanese JJ black belts) . We decide to do this to make our gi work more crisp. It is always nice to have options.
Submissions101 2 years ago
if u check the techniqes u can see for urself hes explaining it very good and they all work i try them in class one by one.i dont think uit matters what belt u have if u really know what ur talking about.but nits a reasonable question beacause many people teach and dont really have a clue what theyre talking about.and then the student get used to the wrong techniqes.
tcgodzarmy 2 years ago
Wow what a work out, I thought Judo was rough.
This is really a great way to display what u know and apply it. Great Job.

I have a question. Normally martials arts such as tae kwon do, and karate have what you call figures such as chon gi, and such. Does bjj do this as well?

liked this video a lot, rolling after working out is tough but thats fairly standard, as or more difficult then rolling 5-10 guys in a row and having to get the tap

Great job Ari and Dan! Congratulations! It's a privilege to have a top-notch teacher like Mr. Keith Owen. Hope to see you down at his school in the future!

You know, I can't help but smirk when I see these guys roll and then do burpees. They looked exhausted. It reminded me when I got my white-blue belt. We had to jump rope (3 min.), burpee w 3 pushups (3 min.), Sprawl (3 min.), Single-Leg Defense (until the instructor felt like stopping), Squats (3 min...) after that I was delirious..there were other things we did but I can't remember. Congrats to those guys for the hard work!!!!

lordslayer22 2 years ago
maybe i should get tested for my blue belt somewhere, I think I am pretty familiar with everything I saw in the vid. The instructor was awesome I would love to train with that guy! He seems like he has a natural talent for teaching, something missing from many instructors regardless of discipline.

There are a total of 88 techniques (only a handful were shown) for blue belt.

Great vid...I plan on taking BJJ classes soon :) BTW the music...sounds like Celldweller..what song is that??
MrUltimateTKO 2 years ago
Does Dan have prior grappling experience? Just wondering how he is tapping Ari when Ari has a black belt in JJJ and purple under Eddie? Must be fatigue
Congrats to both of you guys, good job.
