LMAO... this calls for a OG style spin:D
if more people paid attention to this forum, this thread and the spinoffs would be legendary
This is kind of a self spin. But hard training gives you most of the answers, that's true.
Alright,where the fuck did I fail ?
Hard training, superb physical condition, lack of injuries, persistence, athleticism, skill, size and strength.
BJJ works best for natural athletes who are at least in the middle of the bell curve in terms of size and strength.
For the rest of us it's always a struggle.
Persistence and desire. I suppose that's the same as the white belt that doesn't quit, really.
I don't think money or time are that significant a factor. Although I may be in a unique position, there. Nor do I think that athleticism, strength, size or even lack of injuries are the major factor. All the black belts know (and I know a few) have had major time off with injury at various times.
The question is what do you do with that time. Do you drink beer and watch porn or do you go to class to absorb what you can, watch competition video and eat, breathe and sleep jiu jitsu so that you're focussed when the time comes to return to training?
Persistence and desire. That's it.
I remember saying awhile ago on one of these forums that secret to becoming successful in Bjj (or any skilled activity for that matter) was consistent, persistant, diligent effort. Many people attack me for just saying that.
Actually, that's what Saulo told us when he gave us our blue belts. Well, not the coke part. I'm learning that on my own.
all I can do now is lol
"Having a gf/job/lifestyle that allows you to commit to 10 yrs of consistent training is pretty rare. "

You have ignored this user. "-
its rather EASY to see which to eliminate if necessary to pursue success imo and it sure as hell aint da job
what is "becoking" ?
Coke = cardio for days = hyper speed = getting your black belt much quicker
This is the secret.

well played, fren.
In an older Fightworks Podcast they asked what I believe was an American BB about the best tip to become a BB.
His answer was along the same lines:
"Don't die!
As long as you keep training and don"t die, they'll have to give it to some day."
