Robson Moura
“Robson cleverly noted that a lot of BJJ brown belts stand in front
of the class (i.e. They carry the role of instructors and/or academy
owners) and many lack high level players to sharpen their proverbial
swords against. The remedy he recommended was for the brown belts to
constantly put themselves in bad positions. Robson Moura suggested the
brown belts take a long hard look in the mirror, identify their relative
weaknesses and work hard to overcome them, rather than take a lazy
ride. While a white belt with 6-8 months BJJ / grappling experience may
not be much of a match with his open guard or under the brown belt’s
side control, he will definitely pose a serious threat from an almost
completed triangle choke from guard or a rear naked choke from the back,
which are positions the brown belt may find him or herself in when
rolling with players of equal skill.“.
