What if they've only competed once or twice and the pressure has got to them and they've not fared too well? Would it still be possible if they gained the relevant level of knowledge/expertise appropriate would you still grade them?Originally Posted by dave coles
Not possible at my club

Hi Gareth
They would have to compete some more and learn to deal with the pressure.

I am kinda having trouble with this kind of methodology if a paying student just wishes to learn BJJ for self defence is he left at white belt in your club? or just pushed to the back of the que as someone who just helps to pay the club rent?. I think theres more to a belt than how many medals you have
Don't let it worry you. If you are progressing, but your instructor won't promote you purely because you don't compete, then you'll just be a white belt who can tap higher grades.
Fine by me.
