[BJJ] What it Means to be a Blue Belt (At Any Age)


“TODAY IS THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE”

Hello,
Thank you for watching this video.
My name is Kazuki Umemura.

I am a BJJ black belt training in Tokyo, Japan.

To introduce myself, I left my full time job to start helping BJJ practitioners, especially those 40+, to safely become more proficient at BJJ and to “FEEL ALIVE.”

This Youtube channel is for BJJ practitioners at any age, although I will upload a lot of videos for older practitioners in addition to videos for practitioners at any age.

I also created a FB group where BJJ practitioners 40 years old and over can come together and help each other improve. Because the group is new, we don’t have many members yet, so if you can join it and let us know how to make the group better/more engaging, that will be appreciated.

Thank you!

[Host] Kazuki Umemura

I received my black belt from Marcelo Alonso, 6th degree black belt under Master Carlson Gracie.
I was born in Japan, and when I was 18 years old, I studied abroad in the U.S. to train BJJ and get a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Washington.
Over the course of my BJJ journey, I have gained substantial experience competing and teaching BJJ in both Japan and the U.S.
I am strongly passionate about improving the quality of others’ lives, especially 40+ year olds, through teaching BJJ. My motto is “Today is the youngest you’ll ever be.”
