The boys talk about why you may not in fact be the incredible ground shark you make yourself out to be on all of your Instagram posts.

We’re really glad that BJJ has given you a newfound skill and the confidence to go with it. We acknowledge the fact that you can now make new people coming in the gym feel as silly and inept at fighting as you first did when you signed up.

This is a great and fun aspect of the gentle art. But...sometimes that feeling can go to your head.

We’ve all seen people who claim to be an incredible fighter because they’re a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu when most people quit after their first class. But let’s not get carried away here. A blue belt is in fact, still a beginner belt for a reason.

All we’re saying is, congratulations on your accomplishments, but don’t get all egotistical about them.
