Belt testing and stripes at seminars - Nubblies.net Forums

hfam95 · 01-11-2006, 06:51 PM

I'm a one stripe blue belt. The only reason I don't have another stripe is because I didn't go to a freaking seminar. I didn't feel I had to pay $50 - $75 to go to a seminar to work on some things and get a stripe while I was there. I know a guy that got his blue belt and first stripe 4-6 months after me, but because he went to the seminar he got a second stripe.

Can I control him when grappling? Yes. Can I escape his ground game? Yes. Can I submit him? Yes. Can he control me with his ground game? No as much as I do with him. Am I pissed at the situation? You best believe it. I feel I shouldn't have to pay for a stripe disguised as a seminar so until my instructor notices my belt doesn't match up with my skills or whatever then I will be a 1 stripe blue belt or a no strip blue belt at another school (one that doesn't use stripes).

Basically stripes in many academies symbolize time on the mat. It doesn't happen always but lately at my school for the blue belts up it means "one who has been to many seminars and paid $$$$"

Paying $$$ isn't the same thing as paying your dues.

Oh I agree completely. I had the same thing happen between me and this douchetool when I was working on my green belt. Basically he progressed way faster than me, even though every step of the way I was able to submit him with ease. Fuckin' rich kids...

Do no gi, problem solved.

once you get your blue belt you can only be promoted by a black belt. thats it... no one else can give you stripes or a new belt.

vaga1220 * · 01-11-2006, 11:05 PM

What vaga said. Gi traning is for girls and blind pepole.

Walt, you broke nigger, save your welfare checks and have your beast of a white bitch work a couple extra hours at the diner so you can afford to go to a seminar and get promoted. Or just sell drugs, all your relatives do it, why cant you?

that's not entirely true worldwide. some schools allow you to promote up to one belt below yours.

theMerciless1 · 01-12-2006, 09:40 AM

just so all the poeple who dont train JJ know what we're talking about here a stripe is A PEICE OF TAPE.
and just so all the people who do train JJ re,member what we're talking about, a stripe is A PEICE OF TAPE.
stripes mean absolutely nothing, they are motivational tools for students.
They help a student feel that he is making progress but have no real rank in BJJ.
many academies dont even use them.

i got a stripe on my blue belt prolly 12 sessions after i got belted.

Walt has the biggest complaint to post ratio I've ever seen in any forum

Change schools or just forget that belt color means anything...you are still training, right?

migite · 01-12-2006, 07:19 PM

that's the way the brother is. let him bitch and all. don't give him any beef. the brother needs to let the world know that he's a black afroamerican who's being discriminated and repressed by the man.

exactly. in brasil, they don't use tape.

migite · 01-13-2006, 07:55 PM

sure they do. they use duct tape as the solution for ringworm infections... if there's any left over they tape it on their belts too to signify they had ringworm as a kind of trophy

Deadly Crescent Kick · 01-14-2006, 05:21 PM

duct tape is a "space-age" material in brazil
