All Episodes

Do you feel pressure to bring “value” when rolling with a higher rank?

From brand-new white belts to experienced black belts, we all bring unique value to the mat. Seeing the value we bring can be especially tricky when you’re new to grappling.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you’re learning a move for the first time, then you go to drill it, and your mind goes blank. We’ve been there and lived to podcast about it.

For upper belts, rolling with a less experienced partner is a chance to refine their game. Meanwhile, lower belts have the opportunity to receive guidance and learn from the higher ranks.

Every roll or drill has value when you approach it with intention. It’s your responsibility, no matter the color of your belt, to find or create value for yourself. This is your journey.
