Sometimes when I train No Gi jiujitsu (shorts, rash guard, no belt), I get paired up with a cocky white or blue belt.
And they proceed to correct my technique and give me advice. And I just go along with it and pretend I’m new.
Then when it comes to sparring, I completely dominate the shit out of them. I don’t do anything rude or abusive.
Just utter domination.
Afterward, they have this look of defeat in their eyes wondering what the hell happened.
Thats when I calmly tell them my belt level.
Done like this, it’s a beautiful lesson in humility that could never be learned through words alone.
That’s what’s missing on this app.
Too many guys in the comments trying to argue and debate their way to expertise instead of building undeniable skill through client results.
It’s not giving your power away to be humble.
Ask questions, be curious, put in the work and stop trying to argue your way to relevance.
I’m happy to help if you ask.
Work with clients and share the results they get.
That’s what will get you the respect and success you want.
(Also, the white belt shown here didn’t do any of that.
