Nick ‘Chewy’ Albin has always been a go to for advice in the BJJ community. Just yesterday, he answered an interesting question whilst doing an ‘Ask me anything’. The question was ‘Do we smash cocky whitebelts?’ to which he answered “Depends if they are getting out of line then yes. Being humbled in the gym isn’t a bad thing. Especially with stubborn guys, we need a physical check to get us in line sometimes. Words don’t just do it, we need to ‘feel’ it. I’m a product of this and I’m glad that I got humbled so that I could get better”
With this said, there are many ways of dealing with cocky white belt practitioners. Of course, this is just one way of handling them and keeping their ego in check.
