We all got smashed as white belts. Heck I still get smashed as a blue belt regularly. I think it’s goodwill and uplifting though if you’re a blue belt or above to give the white belt to win every now and then. Are their arm bars a little slow and sloppy sometimes? Sure they are. But how do they feel if you’re rolling and you loosen up a little bit and they do the technique they learn and boom you tap to an arm bar.

They will realize when you actually roll or as they continue with Jiu Jitsu whether they can hit an arm bar with another hundred percent live opponent.

BREATHE. FRAME. SURVIVE.
