Biggest achievement this year was getting my white belt!👊
Congrats to you!! That truly is a big achievement that often goes unrecognized.
I agree people shouldn't be concerned about their belt, they should just focus on getting better
excellent, the hardest part is walking into a club for the first time.............
@@Theirishcannoli exactly what i tell my kids when they get smoked and talk about stripes......... get better, would you rather be a white belt who is a monster or a yellow belt that gets tapped by white belts with 1 stripe....... just the same at all their sport and schooling, try your best and work hard to get better
And relaxing when you're rolling with any white belt with a stripe cuz you know you're gonna get tapped.
Man I did not expect to get so emotional seeing brad get his blue belt. Merry christmas Jordan!
That right there was the highlight of my year and I think this speaks greatly to Jordan's character and just how invested he is in his student's progress and growth. How can I be so sure? Because I'm Brad and that's my son Tyler. I'm glad you took some good feelings away from this.
@@beuford23 i’m also a white belt and have been training for about half a year now. I know the commitment, the discipline and the sheer hard work that goes down in this grind. Thats why it is so impressive seeing you get promotef by someone as great as jordan. I also recently recieved my first striped and that felt great, getting your blue belt along with your son must have felt amazing. Congrats to you and Tyler and happy holidays!
@@grenategd2547 Jordan always reinforces the concept that a black belt is just a white belt that never quit. So, Keep persevering, be the quintessential student and never stop looking to enrich your knowledge. Most of all, have fun and enjoy your journey
@@beuford23 Congratulations!
@@robertlester4569 thank you
Such a great way to give a belt, props to that!
🙏🙂
I don’t see how he didn’t burst out in tears, that was an awesome way to give him his blue belt. 😭 Congratulations to both!!
Hard to see but, yeah, I was tearing up. It wasn't much though, I'd expended it mostly as sweat lol. Afterwards, my 14 year old grabbed Tyler and I and we had a big family hug, yeah, there were tears there. Nothing like getting to train with my two boys.
@@beuford23I love this! Brought a tear to my eye. My kids are 4 and 6 and we love doing it together. Got my first stripe the other day as a WB and was surprised at how emotional I was about it.
My brother and I started jiu-jitsu just before Covid, I was 28 and he was 22. We have trained non stop all through the last 3 years and were promoted together at the same time in Dec 2021 to blue belt. That memory is so special for both of us 😊
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!! Just want to say thank you for subscribing to my channel! Your support means the world to me. I read every comment although I don't always have time to respond 🙏 Thanks for watching my videos 😁
Dope!!!
👊
Hello Jordan, love to see your contents again! I got a blue belt just in February, it means that I follow your channel since I was a white belt. Blue belt blues is real, but I think in analogy that, okay, in a university called jiu-jitsu, I become just a sophomore and I have to study hard to pass junior and senior year before I become a bachelor. So I think I have to put more focus on study more and more. Hope to watch your good contents again along my jiu-jitsu journey!
This made me cry. My coach surprised me with my blue belt this month as well. Got into a motorcycle accident after thanksgiving and wasn’t able to test with my class. On crutches he pulled me out of the crowd to get mine. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to work for.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Congratulations on your promotion. Brad
Man, this was a touching video. Congrats to Brad and his son. On a side note, my jiu-jitsu achievement was finally getting mount on the kid who destroys me every class. I will take those little victories when I can lol
Its the small victories that keep us coming back.
49 year old no stripe white belt here. I can not afford gas to go to train Jiu Jitsu let alone pay $100 a month for classes so youtube is the only way I can train. Thank you for the commentary and the rolling with the lower belts it puts things in perspective for us newbs.
It seems your priorities are elsewhere
I’m a 25 year old minimum wage felon barely affording my $300/m gym payment
That’s amazing! What a way to get your blue belt. And it also shows the crazy levels of ability between a black belt and a white/ blue belt the fact that he can roll and tie his new belt on at the same time. 🙏🙏
My son started his journey about 4 months ago... After he stuck it out the first month, I vowed to share his journey so I joined too. My adults classes are right after his kids classes. He sticks around for the hour and a half to be my last roll of the night.
My brother in law has been training at SBG Niagara for a few years and suggested my wife and I bring our daughter to try it out. She loves it and has been going for a while now. She gets excited to show me what she has learned every week. It’s such a great place and coach Rich is a great guy and mentor. I decided to start training as well so now there are three of us there.
Thats awesome! I actually fought a guy from your gym in my second MMA fight. Tyler Marshall. Small world :)
Jiu Jitsu is keeping my daughter and I going through the toughest times we’ve been through in our lives. Congratulations on those blue belts.
I'm 37 and have been doing Jiu Jitsu with my 16 year old for 2 years. It's the greatest bonding experience a father can have with his son, in my opinion. We don't take it easy on each other, but the care is always there. So much trust and respect for each other on the mats. Love the video!
What a really nice touch to promote father and son on the same day. They will have those memories for life. Great video and well done Brad and his son
Why was this emotional for me? I guess because when you see someone show so much resilience and get rewarded for their perseverance, it’s amazing to witness.
It had been an extremely difficult year for many reasons. That night was my first night back after having been stuck in isolation due to covid exposure. While our household was in lockdown, we missed out on (arguably the biggest) grading night ever; heartbreaking not getting to be there for all my friends and training partners and celebrate in accomplishments. Jordans got a heart of gold and this video's message speaks to it. He made sure that while we missed out on the grading night, he would make this something special. And did he ever. We'd been talking lots back and forth for months of a commentary roll video and that night he asked me if I was down for it/ready. This is the result. The highlight of my year.
So cool. I love the struggle in BJJ. I always explain to my daughter that you still growing on days that you feel like you completely suck. It's okay to take a break, too. But never quit! Keep grinding! BJJ teaches so many cool lessons outside of grappling
So true. BJJ is so great for life beyond the mats as well.
What a great way to receive a blue belt! Incredible work and awesome videos! I’m binge watching them to strengthen my weak aspects and sharpen my strengths
I knew he would get the blue belt when you said there would be a surprise at the end, but that was very special! That must have really caught him by surprise! Beautiful moment!
Almost brought a tear to my eye when you wrapped him up with his blue belt. That was the coolest belt promotion I've ever seen.
Man that helicopter armbar was sick. Watched it over like 50x. I just started jiu jitsu and find the submissions like this ultra fascinating
This was my second year as a high school teacher. I had some of the kids I taught last year come to tell me about the universities they were going to next year, and to thank me for supporting them through some tough times. Feels good, man. Thanks for your great content. I have seen a lot of improvement in my BJJ from tips you have given (especially grips). Also, congratulations to the fellahs on getting their blue belts!
The moment you wrapped his belt around him in the midst of the struggle really hit hard with me. 👊🏽❤️ With struggle comes growth……but not if you give up. Thankyou for the videos and the amazing content.
Man that hug at the end! I felt that!
Yup! That was me. The year leading up to that had been incredibly difficult and at one point I didn't even know if I'd ever get to train again - fortunate, I came out on top in that. Then, because of Covid, we missed the big grading night and I was devastated - missed seeing and supporting so many friends and their accomplishments..... About two weeks later in class Jordan asked if I wanted to do a video with him that night. The rest is history. And yes, I'm still there, religiously
Man I never been so hype over this! I wanted to jump through the screen and celebrate with y’all! One blue belt to another, welcome to the club homie🤙🏿
@@beuford23 Awesome! Glad everything worked out and that you are still training!
I love these types of videos. The jiu jitsu community is so wholesome. Glad I picked it up
I gotta do this again sometime!
That was a great night, glad to be there to see it! My greatest achievement this year is my blue belt progress and being Uki sometimes on the channel. Ive seen the 3rd nipple folks!!!! Its a real thing.
Glad you were there too brother.
This is a phenomenal channel. Awesome video. Love seeing people promoted after hard work and dedication. Thanks for the fantastic content!
Thank you so much 🙏 Merry Christmas!
Honestly I felt like how pure and genuine you are can be felt in every video! Can’t keep thanking you enough for these
Great way to give out that belt and icing on the cake is the son got it same day. You can tell in that bro hug he's very appreciative.
It was a great day! They are a very talented family!
Now THIS is how to get better! I wish more instructors did this and actually pointed out why you were caught in this, or why you should have done that instead. I been out about 7 years now from serious injury and looking to start up again. Perfect video to review what rookie mistakes to remember and watch out for.
Sitting at home with CoVid and not training. What a great positive video to uplift the spirit. I hope we get to see this same fella get his Purple in a few years.
I will make sure of it.
Your voice helps me focus on what you're actually explaining. The funny comments are entertaining. I'm a blue belt and I was glad to hear you mention how sometimes blue belts struggle with white belts and higher blue belts. That's the story of my life. Thanks for video.
I appreciate that, thank you! Glad that resonated with you 🙂
More of these Jordan! Thanks, love your channel
Great video as always with a surprising end! Keep up the good work Prof.! Btw when is ur BJJ Fanatics video releasing?
This awesome, I seen a lot of mistakes that I make and will definitely be trying to stop doing those. Congrats Brad & Tyler on those blue belts 💪🏾
Me, too...
This is such an awesome way to promote someone! ❤ you’re a great instructor Jordan!
Such an awesome clip, loved the ending more than I would have thought. Such an awesome way to do it. I’m only a couple months into bjj but have learned a ton from your channel, I love that you talk about concepts (eg. grip fighting) more so than specific techniques. It helps so much more. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next 12 months!
Big goals for me were to get a blue belt in BJJ and starting a KZhead Channel! I just received my blue belt last week and the channel is growing slowly but surely!✊
That's awesome man! Congratulations on the bluebelt and starting the channel 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Thank you and keep making these dope videos!
🥂
Congrats man. How long did it take you?
Wow what an awesome way to present a blue belt to a dedicated Student. I also got my Blue belt two weeks ago. I won my gym's in house tournament and just like Brad it was an emotional experience. All the hard work dedication and to showing up to classes, drill techniques, working out...it really did paid off. Gratz to the newly promoted blue belts and happy holidays! OSS
That's an awesome accomplishment! Congratulations. Hard work pays off 👊
Man, this is so beautiful. You're amazing Jordan!
I love when someone is so dedicated to the art, you can tell getting that belt means a lot to them
It was my greatest achievement in a helluva long time and will always rank up high
Merry Christmas to You and all bjj practitioners! Thank You for your amazing videos
Thank you so much 🙏 Merry Christmas! 😁
Keep up the great work jordan! Your videos have really helped me improve my jiujitsu. I hope you have a great christmas with your family man.
Glad to hear it man. Makes me really happy to make an impact. Merry Christmas 🙏👊🎄
Best on KZhead
Thank you for your wisdom and your kindness.You’re definitely making a difference with these videos. Merry Christmas to you and all your students. Best of luck🙏
Amazing!!! That is the coolest way to promote someone. As always, love your work bro!
Oh my heart! What a sweet way to give Brad his blue belt! Thank you for the great channel, it felt great seeing it grow from a few hundred people to over 40K! Much deserved success. As a 3 stripe white belt, my biggest achievement in BJJ in 2021 was finally truly internalizing that belts and winning rounds don't really matter at this point. I started to work on concepts and trying to learn good behaviours, retain guard, improve my position, slow down, make sure I have control first instead of trying to go fast and go for submissions. Funny enough the % of successful sweeps and attacks went up as a byproduct of focusing on good habits and positioning. I would just find myself in a better spot more often to try things.
Thanks for being around since nearly the start! I wanted to bad to make my early subscribers proud :) Glad you focused on all that! The way to get better isn't to become a technique library. It's to get good at the small stuff!
Great vIdeo, and I woulda surely cried if i got my blue belt like that lol. Im in my second week of training and this channel has been quite the gift. Merry Christmas brother!
Glad you think so! Merry Christmas brother 🙏🙂
This one brought out some serious tears of joy! Really powerful stuff. Great video and commentary!
This was such a cool moment to capture... Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Such a great way to close out the year on the channel. Congrats to the new blue belts and Merry Christmas to everyone
Good stuff brotha! My 8 year old and I started together over 4 years ago and my 5 year old learned how to walk on the mat there at 9 months old. Rolling with my daughter gives me a high every time so I started coaching the kids program about 6 months ago. This past weekend I was able to promote my 5 year old son from white to grey/white-his first promotion obviously. Definitely one of the coolest moments of my life. A dad promoting his kids is an experience that is hard to beat. Keep up the good work!!
I love the format of the teaching in this video. Nice Coach.
I am not crying, you are. lol. I got teary eyed at the end. Good job brad!!
my father and i started jiu jitsu together 4 months ago, its been so fun getting better together and challenging each other! i hope we can share getting promoted to blue belt together some day like this!
Can I ask have you stuck at it and what level are you at now mate
@@leightonjones1 we both got promoted to blue a year ago and still goin at it! just did my first comp at blue belt a couple weeks ago
I took 3rd at the Worlds Masters. Thank you for the videos. Ive used your strategies over and over. Keep up the great work
That's a great accomplishment! Congrats!
The commentary adds so much to these videos. Love it. Keep it up!
Brathar…why must you make me cry with the ending. Happy holidays fellas
Beautiful video Jordan. The way you break things down and teach has helped me so much. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.
Congrats Brad and Tyler!
Some tear came out when brad got his blue belt.
That's awesome! Congrats guys!
Parent + child promotions always make me tear up, such a lovely moment.
Jordan you are making the easiest and most engaging BJJ videos to digest by far! Also, thank you for being so wholesome. Merry Christmas!
Great video and Congratulations Brad!
Congrats to them! What a creative way of promoting them
Been doing ju jitsu for 4 months now, & been watching your KZhead videos religiously, tremendous help, thank you!
Your such a great instructor. I have been focused on grips with purpose and it has helped tremendously.
I've seen people get their belts but this method was awesome , I don't know how he didn't get emotional. Congrats to everyone present
Oh believe me, there was a lot of emotions. 2021 had proven to be an extremely challenging year and this was just what I needed. I'm just glad Patrina didn't zoom in on my face. 48 years old at the time and that blue belt represents some of the hardest, most challenging experiences of my life.
Beautiful Saw it coming but still got a tear in my eye. Blue belt is special for sure.
It definitely is. Such a great feeling of accomplishment getting the blue!
Yessss! Congrats on the promotions!
Jordan this was great and I had a huge smile when you put his blue belt on. As one of the first 1000 subscribers I just want to say happy new year and thanks to you and Nikki for helping my on my bjj journey!
That was so amazing. Loved every second of it.
🙏
Great channel. I love this style of instruction. Thank you, Jordan!
I'm 50 yrs old, 3 stripes white belt, 2.5 years training but with many, many intervals. Covid restrictions (so, no training for months and months), fingers injured, back injured, neck injured, knee injured, all in the first year or so. ANYWAY, this is by far the MOST inspiring video for me to continue and not give up. This video actually inspires me to train, not so much harder, but more consistently. I have been subscribed for about two weeks and have learned a lot already. Truly appreciate the effort, and I hope you will stay safe and healthy.
I just wanted to drop a comment and a like Jordon! I am brown belt judoka and your videos have helped me so much over this past year in martial arts journey since discovering your channel!! Your detailed breakdown, tips for rolling have transformed my standup and my ne waza game to the point where my friends couldn't even recognize me! Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to your future content!
Congratulations 🤙🏾 👊🏽
What a great idea, a special way to get your blue belt. Thanks for the tip about grabbing the leg when going for the arm bar from mount. I just saw it last night in one of your videos and hit it at training shortly after!
What a great Professor!!! Truly inspiring!!! OSS
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats Brad and Tyler !!
Once again, well done sir!!! Your rolls are the art, pair it with the commentary and it comes to life. Thank you and continue on with this wonderful content.
Love your videos man! I’m excited to implement this to my game
What a special & memorable way to promote! Congratulations Gents!
This video makes me emotional everytime I see it. I'm a big fan of your channel, Jordan. Greetings from Argentina!
Amazing video again! That was a treat to see those two promotions. I loved the music too
What a nice graduation!! One of my favorite jiu-jitsu channels! Congrats! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you 🙏🙂
Awesome video Jordan the twist at the end was a nice touch!!!
This was awesome! Congrats, Brad!
Congrats to Brad. I know how it feels. Just got my blue this month. I’m blessed to have found your channel Professor Jordan!
SO AWSOME, this made me teary eyed.
Aww haha me too it is such a great moment
Sweet sweet style points all over this one!!! good job!! 👊
Jordan I love you!!you are a real teacher for us...you connect the pieces from the puzzle...thank you so much
Thanks man! I appreciate you - and am really happy you find my videos useful. 🙏
Vaya manera tan emotiva de promoverlo !!! Me encantó!!!
Love it brother. I remember getting my blue belt. I was on a high for a week and soon realised it was just the awakening of the hunger. Lovely roll and great narration.
Outstanding Brad and Tyler, keep it up and never stop pushing! Once again, excellent teaching Jordan.
I’m just starting out and have limited time available for live practice so I just love being able to learn with your videos. Extremely detailed and fun
That was really great to watch. Thanks for sharing and congrats to them. You're a fantastic teacher.
Great video, loved the putting on the blue belt while rolling. My son is 8 and I'm late 30's and we both started in November last year. Loving seeing how much he's enjoying and developing through it even after only a short period
I’ve had a very rough jitz journey and never cared about watching jitz vidz. But somehow I stumbled upon your channel a couple weeks ago and I can’t imagine not watching this channel. You have great content and from a reformed jitz hater, this video sealed the deal for me and I just love this art so much because of acts like this!! Just amazing. Sorry for being long winded and you’ll probably never see this, but just need to say thank you for what your doing. You’ve motivated me to keep going .
You may be surprised by who reads your comments lol - Brad
Dude that was so heartwarming to watch . Hell yeah
Your content is so high quality dude thanks
Glad you think so! Thanks man 🙏
