We all know people who perform below their belt level. However, they are usually hobbyists with a lot of BJJ knowledge but aren't competitors. They have families mortgages, and other interests that are more important.
More frequently I see 6-7 year blue belts sandbagging so their gym can...
Anyone else notice the irony if the big Trojans ad on the canvas at UFC 252? One of Dana's rationale for adding Reebok and eliminating ads on fight shorts was to "get rid of shit like Condom Depot".
I'm not sure what was said in the TL;DR posts, but here's a summary: the answer is yes there is a ceiling, but belt color doesn't define it. I'm brown, 47, training irregularly. at some point I'll get my black belt but I won't be as good a grappler as I was when I was...say 45. My knowledge...

Do you find these generalizations to be accurate for most people? I'm trying to find a...
Those kids are good as I've seen previously, but nothing in that video makes me think black belt. They seem to be just playing around. In actuality they can likely compete well vs purple and browns.
