Well done 👍

Didn't put 'fancy' in the title ✌️

They are blue belts in bjj, even if all the time they spent training bjj were used for judo they would still suck at it.

Heavy division -94,3kg (208lbs) can be quite tiring in the standing part

Respondo com o Google Translate, a competição está de acordo com o regulamento da IBJJF. A tradução será difícil, mas, desde que a pessoa tenha ido parar na guarda e passe pela guarda indicada ele ganhará novos pontos. É possível que eu não entenda o que você quer dizer.

It can be quite a confusing grip for the trapped person if they don't have much experience with it

Yes baby

Thank you I appreciate it. Great explanation and I completely agree with that.

Damn, that was a great match

@@ChaseBJJ yeah, it was nice. i'm a black belt myself, but i find belt/purple divisions (as well as juniors) often more interesting to watch : ) there are more mistakes and inaccuracies, but thanks to that a lot's going on

@@vibovitold it’s funny, cause I’ve heard another black belt say that same thing. I wonder what that is? Just guessing, but is it because black belt matches (gi matches) are a lot of grip breaking? Or if any mistakes are made they are immediately capitalized on and the match ends faster? Would be curious to hear what you think.

@@ChaseBJJ in my opinion black belts tend to be more patient. when a black belt catches the opponent in a kimura grip, they will be working it for minutes, trying to squeeze something out of that (if not a submission, then a mount, or a sweep, whatever, but "you gotta give me something now" mindset). a junior blue belt will abandon it as soon as it doesn't do anything for 10 seconds, and try several different things, the initiiative will go back and forth in the same amount of time, which is kind of wasteful, but also more fun to watch : ) that's sort of like this young bull/old bull story :) (“Let’s run down and breed a couple of heifers!”, and the old bull: "let’s walk down and breed them all.”) in my opinion there are several reasons for that difference, all reinforcing eachother: * black belts matches are longer by the rules (10 minutes). for white belts it's 5 minutes, for blue belts it's 6 etc. that already encourages playing a long game. an all-out attack is a dangerous decision, because if it doesn't pan out, you risk gassing out with plenty of time still left on the clock. energy conservation is more important. * on the top of that, let's face it, black belts are older on average. even within the adult division. it's more obvious if you don't look only at the world class competitors (who simply fall out of your radar once they're past their prime). * black belts generally make less mistakes, so if you catch your opponent making one, you'll think twice before letting them reconsolidate. you never know when the next opportunity will come. when you're a blue belt, there's a mistake every 20 seconds, so it's not as precious. * while black belts can be expected to know more technique overall, they also tend to have a more defined "A game" which they resort to in a must-win scenario (like a competition). that's like a personal "system", practically a diagram. eg.: pull guard, try for a cross collar choke, if it doesn't work out, switch to spider guard, try for a triangle or an omoplata. battle-tested systems that they know inside out. you don't want to deviate from your personal system very much (even seeing some opportunity on the horizon), because you risk getting baited into your opponent's personal system in turn, which is their own diagram they have battletested against 10 different counters and know it like the back of their hand : ) * by and large, black belts tend to be more evenly matched than lower belts. a fresh blue belt after 8 months of training going against a blue belt who's already trained for 3 years, that's a huge skill gap. apart from edge cases such as Rafa Mendes vs. a no-name, it rarely occurs at the top belt even, the differences fall on the subtle side. so the skills cancel eachother out more often. this is obviously only a statistical perspective, there are very eventful black belt clashes as well as boring lower-belts encounters. but i think it holds true on average.
