tigerstyle18 Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Thanks Yoda, I'm gonna start taking BJJ from Fabio Santos in San Diego. The info is much appreciated! When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.
bjjbarbie Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 they are just too funny!!! gracie's looks terrifying...where jacare's looks like our yellow belt requirment for bjj!!! hahaa bit of a joke really......isnt it!! lindz!! boo!
YODA Posted April 12, 2002 Author Posted April 12, 2002 Yellow belt in BJJ? What's that all about? Belts in BJJ as I know it are white, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black - with stripes on each belt.

three60roundhouse Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 I don't know about bjjbarbie, but I am only 14, so the Gracies have made three "extra" belts for those under sixteen - the yellow, orange, and green belts...just, I assume, to show that the kids are progressing very well and are getting the technical moves, but also to show that they aren't big/strong enough to ever really meet the BJJ requirements. Rockson Gracie held his green belt until he turned 16, and as a green belt could beat many very experienced purples...the BJJ guys are trying to make sure that BJJ doesn't become too "watered down" like many arts did in America. As far as I know, the only people ever to move outside the blue, purple, brown, black progression are those under 16. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
tigerstyle18 Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 yeah roundhouse, that sounds right. I remember hearing something similar to that. I guess those extra belts are just like "junior" ranks. I think it's a great alternative to giving black belts to kids who aren't ready for that responsibility. When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.

bjjbarbie Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 oh sorry guys...i prob had u confused....in our combined martial arts ......there are all types or requirements for a belt (eg.self defence, kata, basic and bjj!!)..and one of them is a bjj requirment....and jacare's greding is about the standard that the 12 year olds have to reach iun our school! hope that clears it up! boo!
Bon Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Lindsay is all lies.. Do you want the truth ? She goes to a McDojo, hell, she can only afford to go once a week it's that expensive. That's why she hasn't made it to black belt yet.. =p It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
tigerstyle18 Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Bon, Do you know Lindsay or something? That's like the second time I've heard you say she's from a McDojo, blah, blah, blah, ext. So what's the deal? You two friends or enemies or something? When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.
