Never Quit Attitude, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Mindset

The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Journey and the road to the BJJ Black Belt is a long term commitment.  Knowing this, it is important to get the mind right.  Mindset is everything.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Journey

Practitioners in the Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu work hard to stay on the path of advancement.  It takes many thousands of hours and years of training and dedication to gain the skills and the performance of a BJJ Black Belt.

Developing the mindset of 'Never Quit' is an important virtue to have for the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Practitioner

______________________________

From Day one of training, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu students are taught the basics and fundamentals of BJJ.  But ask just about any BJJ Black Belt what they are working on in their game, and most will tell you, they are working on and refining what they know of the 'Basics'.

Congrats to Ray Sloan on receiving the coveted Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt!  In a Co-Promotion with BJJ Black Belts Michio Grubbs & Chris Haueter, Raymond Sloan has been awarded the distinction of representing the Art of Jiu Jitsu at the Black Belt level.

The first Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Belt to signify leaving the beginning stages of the BJJ Practitioner is the Blue Belt.   Receiving the BJJ Blue Belt is a huge step for the beginning BJJ student and signifies a huge jump and a milestone toward the Black Belt.

Congrats Ursulla Garcia and Djavan Coleman on receiving their BJJ Blue Belts at Excel Jiu Jitsu MMA & Fitness Oceanside!

New Oceanside BJJ Blue Belts, Ursulla Garcia and Djavan Coleman.  Congrats!

Dedicated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Athlete

For most, the BJJ Purple Belt is the toughest to obtain.  The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt is the beginning stages of the advanced practitioner.  This level is more than just 'knowing' techniques, but it's display of flow, of stringing techniques together in a functioning flow against a fully resisting opponent.

Congrats Dan Hoopes for obtaining the 4th degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt!

Professor Chris Haueter received his BJJ Black Belt in 1996 from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Rigan Machado and is one of the first 12 Americans to receive the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt in the Untied States.

Chris will tell you that a Black Belt is a White Belt that never quit.

Along the way in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Journey, we make lots of friends and have a Jiu Jitsu bond of brotherhood that we would not trade in for anything in this world!

Passion is what drives us!
