0:04 oh man this is embarrassing okay [Music] welcome back to another amazing episode of the careful boys where we are currently off sexy wow that's a rhino mate right there dude I wish I sounded like that when I said it um you know and we have uh Choose Your Own Adventure today guys we're either talking about Nick's uh black belt Journey or what's for JK in 2023 what do you want how about both I think it's space already let's talk about JK 2023 all right we'll start with your black belt is there even a black belt Journey what does that even mean well it's a big deal for a lot of people to go through a journey of if you want to call it that of getting their black belt and Jiu Jitsu because it's hey don't downplay it with that tone dude because it's pretty hard and it takes a lot a lot of time and a lot of years on
0:55 the mats and all that but it's one of one of the most legitimate ones so yesterday I took my mom to go watch taika's practice Mama's like what kind of martial art is this yeah the bunch of fools hugging on the ground I've been saying that forever this actually came from Judo um some Brazilian guy took the parts of Judo made it better concentrated uh on the floor game and it's one of the few martial arts where the belts actually mean something I was like remember when I was a black belt in kung fu I got my ass kicked by a really big kid that's just the white belt that I never trained before I was like that will never happen you know I was like that's why they don't give black belts to anyone that's under 19 because if you don't have an adult body you can't even execute the moves the right way they don't know that so I was like telling my mom so that's why I like um Jiu Jitsu um
1:46 because it's actually pretty difficult to have like a lower belt beat someone at the same school you know and also that's pretty cool so it's like for him like I've seen I've known Nick for how many years now probably four years five years and I met you as a purple belt yeah I was like a purple belt and so from him to go from purple to Brown took a long time that was four years this is just one belt damn it's also order of bell colors that's crazy because I got I went four belts in like two months oh yeah probably six months and that's why I'm embarrassing you you showed the timeline dude and all I had to do was basically dancing I'm basically there when I place it black belt guaranteed in one year wow I should go to your school is it Stillwood Mall uh the belts are white blue purple brown black and most people I think it takes them
2:37 like 10 years to get a jiu jitsu black belt 10 years average oh that's average like if you're a stud like his coach six years six years got it six years but he was like really invested so he would do two a days like five days a week Non-Stop and so that was six years do you have to win a lot of tournaments too it depends on like your school that you go to right like depending on the instructor a lot of times they're like yeah we want you to go out there test yourself against other people because and I'm kind of from that same like mindset the one that you go to that you're gonna get yours from is like that yeah he's kind he's he's putting you out there to be like kill this guy not necessarily but yeah in a way like unspoken and for me it's like I don't I don't wanna the black belt thing is cool right it's like it's like a cool little thing that like it's a it it gets a lot faster yeah but that I don't like that that's wax we
3:28 don't like that ████ a lot of schools they ████ they'll suck you off just because you're black I'm a sucker and I'm we at our gym dude we're not really about that like everyone's all the same everybody sucks together yeah essentially I like it I like that is this like Any Given Sunday like anybody can beat anybody kind of ████ no way not really but like nobody beating his but there's but they're he's good many times the thing about it is like what does he doesn't even know about kissing them and ████ I worked against Nick that's why just come in with weapons no but like there's there's like a lot of weird stuff in the Jiu Jitsu Community where just because you're a black belt they put you on a pedestal you're like Master you're ████ Sensei and that's all like the culty weird ████ comes into play but black belt's only the beginning of the journey and that's that's how we try to look at it because once you hit a black belt no Joe white belt is isn't you here
4:18 but once you hit a black belt it's like you look at everything like you almost start from the beginning again oh sorry because they just give you a white one yeah they're just so much more ████ once you get so black belt it just shows that you have the execution to start you know knowing all the positions and all this is so different from like Korean taekwondo schools because like once you start getting close to Black Belt they're like oh ████ oh we need to make more money so they start making like new belts up like red belt yeah we got to give you the red Bluebell the red black that's legit red black with a white stripe in between but Jiu Jitsu is not immune from that ████ either like there's a lot of schools that so Jiu Jitsu is also money grabbing hungry people that are fake a little bit less a little bit less oh okay I also think common once you get like donned a black belt the target is really on your back because if you go from gym to gym and if people are smashing your ass it's
5:08 like you better uphold this black belt and they'll go what school did you come from with that bill oh and the school gets screwed also gonna beat you they go to your school and they break your school sign yeah yeah that's that's good really have a Kung Fu battle and he says kiss my Converse but like that's the biggest like uh once you become a black belt it's like there are like you said there is a target belt but there's been times where you you'll train with black belts and then you'll be like uh you're not really a black belt you know like you'll roll with them you're like you're like mediocre maybe all of this sounds like making a million dollars in crypto honestly it's like it's that's when you're like the upper upper echelon and then it's like now but in a way because you get wrecked it's like you just began yeah exactly do it for sure man like it's it's but it's like you can take that with anything right you take the techniques and you got to do it to do it again but it's
5:58 like ████ okay yeah well we're gonna do what I'm gonna say is people that are like you know billionaires in crypto but they didn't really study the scene they just got lucky and you look at them you're like you're not really a billionaire even though you're rich well there is a lot of that too because there's you don't have to be as active like you can just kind of chill it's okay they're all dead now so yeah so from this point on how long do you think it'll be before you get that sweet sweet I'll say this like getting a black boat would be ████ obviously amazing right but like the focus isn't necessarily just like you'd kill myself with black belt it's like the focus is making sure that I have the skills to be able to like exceed those expectations like that's what's really most important is that why you wear a black fanny pack all the time nah dude this is just is it gonna be another four years you think I don't know uh if that's how long it takes that's how long it takes right it's up to what his coach thinks of where his game at right now and how much
6:48 more he has to get so your coach just specifically your coach is the gatekeeper to yourself yeah but then if I if I wanted to yeah potentially but if I wanted to be like hey I'm gonna go to a different school a school that I might think that would give me a belt sooner I could do that too and then be like I'm devoted to you guys and then people do that ████ too do people go to like schools that are hella easy get their black belt and then go to other schools that have better credit potentially yeah like there's a lot of I'm telling you like the people are obsessed with the belt ████ right yeah like because they should just be good exactly like that's that's their end-all feel and there's a lot of stuff that goes into it so I only know because I'm still a Wipeout but I'm a huge fan but you're also a champion I'm defeated he's an undefeated and I watch from the side a lot and I'm a big fan so
7:39 like I understand how a lot of these School Dynamics work and sometimes it's not just about being an athlete like some schools they really stress the martial artist aspect yeah so you could be a black belt level at skill but maybe your character sucks ass but like this guy's a dick so they all they'll keep you at a lower belt or maybe you know how to execute really well but you're because when you're a black belt you are a professor you can't teach well yet so there's a kid at our school right now that's probably at the brown belt level but they're keeping them at purple and having him run all the classes while the black belt is constantly watching him you know he's like until you can teach these skills as well as you can execute you're not yet the next year so that just means that all the students are being submitted to okay teaching but that's a ████ up school but it but it's so simple black belts watching he's watching the purple he's a Whack Attack
8:29 a move Andrew Jitsu because that's not yet yeah you can hold the guy like this and then your hand goes underneath from the back oh lift up your butt lift up your butt why can't you be like your friend who just gave himself a black belt I know who did that no it's uh it was some dude we used to train with and he was like he was a really cool dude because that ████ won't last in the Jiu Jitsu world the minute you pull that ████ out it's like people you'll get across from he must be really good bro take it for me yeah exactly go come roll with us and you'll find out like you'll stress people out like that you know I'd give myself a black ball and I bet come take it
9:21 talking about what are you gonna do about it dude exactly okay I'll get myself a Smackdown belt I bought it online too you piece of ████ come get it but there's people that do that man the people are crazy that's crazy when you get a black belt are you gonna come home and take it off and put it on a ████ hook you weirdo [Laughter] on the water fancy stage man nah dude I don't I was joking I don't have a hook for my fanny pack but I do I do hang my fanny pack on my desk on your oven knob yeah yeah yeah real talk when how long uh have you been in Jiu Jitsu I started well I started training like Muay Thai kickboxing stuff probably in like 2010. I guess what I'm saying is when you got your white belt to start the actual Journey from the beginning of like what it means to Don the white belt and your journey towards black belt yeah how long has that been
10:11 12 years probably what 20 when I started putting on the ghee and I got it started wearing a white belt that was about like 2015 2016 I think so you're saying it's only been six years oh yeah so you said your coaching the gangster got back about six years we're talking about you in a black one right now it's only been six years so you're like he didn't get a black belt yeah why are you jumping the gun I'm trying to be a sucker like Bart no but you're he has like two or three more stripes to go before he gets up you're ████ his Juju up yeah oh you gotta get Stripes you don't have to that's that that's that Taekwondo ████ you gotta watch out they're just getting your money dude that's just electrical tape by the way it's got first shape just so you know and then that white tape is like oh you're you're leveling up and then a red one means like for courage like oh this is for like attendance like you've been doing you've been doing it and then the blue one is for integrity you earned
11:01 that electrical tape but located the yellow one is Hardware I saw it low-key though the stripes are kind of a way to be like hey like the green one is for thriftiness exactly we can make up anything but it's like okay it's like to help people say hey you're doing wildlike you're progressing like here you go the yellow one is for effort the purple one for Spirit what's what's the financial scam of the problem is for perfect attendance a lot of times it's like hey like you know you keep signing up and then they give you belts as you progress to make sure as you progress but depending on where you go like it's so subjective dude it's so subjective like I'll roll with it's like you want your black book you got to bring in two more black belts there's this kid it's called working in the community there's this kid who's like 17 right he's a Phenom he trains out of a gym called The Art of Jiu Jitsu and they're like a very famous school they're probably the best school in the west coast second best
11:52 Lionheart jerseys Pasadena but they they're out of Jiu-Jitsu they're competing at like the highest level like they have the goat teachers they know Lionheart just use 48th they train with this guy named hafa Mendes and Mendez and like the goats they're like the the goats and the ghee right and they have this kid named colabata he's like 16. he's like 16 years old he's a purple belt but he's competing against black belts and like it'll kill them beating like subbing them like you just smash don't just hand them a black belt well it's like he should just take it off the guy he beats and ████ put it in all the air then again it's like it's kind of a flex to be like yo I'm 17 and I'm beating grown-ass men and he's this kid's a stunt bro like he's so good and he's tapping out black belts on the biggest stage the highest level but is he a full developed martial artist that's exactly it and he's he's 17. does he have a tiger dad is ████ like yo you get your ass up at five in the morning in the cold you're ████ jujitsuing all you got a ████ Marvel
12:43 renovich dad you know like he's just does he have your ears nah dude I feel like if you have your ears it's like that's gotta at least be brown belts I think dude my my coach when he first met me he met me when I was a blue tournament he saw my ears and he's like oh ████ this guy must be like a black belt Jiu Jitsu and he saw he saw me compete and I just got ████ choked out and he's like oh this guy sucks I was like you talking about jokes yeah yeah I feel like you're gonna you're gonna get there pretty quickly man oh thanks man I hope I hope but at the same time it's like you've been devoting this year way more to it right yeah since I've been teaching more and having a lot more fun like at the Academy it's been great bro I'll be honest I don't think you're gonna get there that quick is that gonna start some it's gonna start firing you let's see the ████ furnace burn are you teaching all your classes right now in the black belt put you to the limitation good enough yet sometimes if I ask them hey teach that right that
13:34 ████ up he's like no that was good and I'm gonna don't they have ranks like after black though you could get like red white yeah first down second on third done whatever but it's like every three years you get like a stripe as a black belt but it like once again like it's cool but if you if you like throw your head on that and you want that really really badly you're not gonna get it yeah I just feel like it's more about the the self-development aspect of Jiu Jitsu like that's where it really shines because it's like it's very objective like when you roll with people it is objective of like oh can you do this X Y and Z like these skills but the belt depending where you go isn't really that objective I think in my personal does it really help when we just randomly try to choke you out does that surprise attack yeah surprises level I don't think so I can do it or when you're like hey does anybody need a water and then we just ████ come on at his level to be honest because I
14:25 trained right like at a brown belt level a unskilled person is literally like me fighting ████ taika you know what I mean like it's like literally Tycoon can ████ you up like that that's a challenge like I think at the blue belt level a unskilled person doing random jokes would be helpful but someone at his level he's downplaying himself like crazy but someone at the brown belt level it's like it's literally wasting his time because he'll kill you in five seconds that's what I didn't understand I think about Nick early is that Nick's personality is Jiu Jitsu like he'll ████ deflect like that's what he does that's true that's true putting his accolades for himself and ████ we're trying to ████ throw flowers on this guy the whole video and he's ████ ducking and weaving and jiving and ████ and saying it's all such but then he's like a comedic timing Genius Like a black belt you guys are hyping me up too much but I I'm just
15:15 being honest with how I feel with with that ████ honestly if you're a JK experience was like parallel to jiu jitsu what belt are you right now JK I think I'm a four-strike white bow and JK or straight I'll give you the belts nah dude I think I'm a first try like because I feel like I'm still I'm still like kind of Dipping my toes in this game bro like this is what belt is everybody else here dude Steve Steve Green he's ████ Coral belt bro that's a master that's like this is red and white and coral is like bang bang bang right oh damn dude yeah if any if a corebell walks into any you gotta suck his cocky is that Steven Seagal who's a coral belt dude's gold will tell you he's a core discovering what that is it's all scary
16:05 he's like yeah that's what I am didn't he invent the arm bar in my life and his hair have you seen his hair it's the blackest black I've ever seen it's jet black because he sprays it I'm gonna have my buddy who's a black belt act like he's the food delivery guy and they just choke you out and I'm like oh God scares people though yeah but he invented he invented the arm bar he walks into a Dunkin Donuts those workers like oh ████ Jesus Christ all right what else everybody am I at least a blue belt dude I think you guys are all black belts bro JK okay you're deflecting now there's no way dude you're right up there hey you're right up there with us Bud you're right dude you guys been doing this ████ for a very long time some of us have been around for like 10 years I know you haven't been here that long but you're a Phenom you're Coral you're Phenom I'm at least the blue belt tenure guy but the real question is when are you gonna come
16:55 train yeah we're talking about the the ████ parallel here off camera off camera he said he want to talk he want to change it to him and Mike's song They're Gonna Come train and you guys gotta come Train That's Ty you guys already talking about it you can't compare must be Flex haven't learned deflection like Nick yet you should wear your you should wear your Boy Scout sash as a belt did that be tight I bring all my worlds into this conversation are you interested in Jiu Jitsu yes absolutely I think you're being good at it bro I think you'd be easier give us a first lesson how is he gonna get students in basketball do you really want a real lesson from this right now I think he should just have you in some sort of any cold you want them start from there and then watch Nick get out of it do it over here
17:48 Anthony how about this you have Nick in any hole he wants okay stop getting horny and then watch Nick get out of it hey reach my neck reach for your neck yeah no just get him in any hole you want any hole okay wait oh ████ that was good that's your pelvic thrust on my face I don't know what to do about it okay if I go here and I'm right here I'm right here yeah ready yeah go oh okay oh ████ I am scared I am scared I am scared what are you gonna do all right dude this guy's pretty gonna break that Nick I'm scared the difference is I'm scared I'm gonna
18:39 break that Nick all right give me the gun give me the gun business started dude my whole career is over bro I could have got out of the master lock it was a full nelson I couldn't get out of it I was like an idiot some say Pro wrestling's fake dude you take the stunner all right good hey can I be Rolo I we should do professional wrestling dude I think we should go to a professional wrestling place I'm I'm gonna I'm a great cell I would love it I just told Ryan without knowing I did we just have the whole act put together yeah dude crazy we have a stick a gimmick you know our tag team finisher move could be the
19:30 3D did you go with us when we went to go watch no I missed I was out of town that was a great sale dude yeah we gotta go to another one oh there's another one coming up I want to go there's one coming up this morning did you go that time yes commit to me right now dude we should have stayed longer yeah yeah that'll be a good one man what are you gonna go I'll go I don't have a ghee you don't need one you have an undefeated one let me borrow it nah that one stays in the plastic I can't touch that one dude you can't touch that one how do I get out of a full nelson dude he's stupid kiss him by the way was that the right I know is that the right hold to do I know what you did there and that was the move just
20:20 no what you did there Jiu Jitsu wise was the move I was trying to suck I know exactly what you did I don't know what you're talking about I do know exactly interesting I knew you could ████ throw me there and hurt me but I know you chose not to I was trying to okay I seen this in the Sidra Sensei right dude no no I saw this in the self-defense so someone gets your back you're supposed to grab the leg and pick it up but I was trying to but my arms were stuck up no no I felt the power and then I felt you hold back it was exactly like the mobile Captain America was joking around about picking up millionaire and I was like oh no I'm not gonna do it you did enough to know that you could do it and then you stopped I saw that I saw that I saw that ████ no I was testing your base and I was like but it is smarter because if he wants to do that on camera then he looks kind of like a ████ loser like you know what I mean like yeah he does like it's like he's taking it too seriously kind of thing he gets to prove himself on camera I get it I know what you did that's the difference between a
21:10 brombo and a Wipeout because if I had if I knew what to do I would have ████ did a full blast you would have smash them Parts like Parts like the Power Rangers where they all have to like flip into action in a perfect sequence and it's like why are you doing this the bad guys are staying there apparently he's like what the ████ it's a distraction yeah it's like okay I'm ready to fight it's like Jesus Christ that's what ████ losers do what Nick just did is what you did we do that at Jiu Jitsu too though you might have just got your black belt off that if you're if you're ████ I told John the camera I was like that's the second stripe right there dude turn the cameras off bro JK actually probably single-handedly held him back six months foreign
