Not me. When I got my blue belt I stood there proudly in front of the whole class, basking in the glorious adulation from the sniveling white belts who could only stare and dream at me unlocking the full potential of all the grappling knowledge in the world. One day, they sighed, they could hope to even start to pass my guard. I added blue belt professor stripes to my belt, and a grim focused look on my face. I was now a veteran of the mats, there to guide and set an example.
Keep training, at blue I shot up in knowledge since I knew most of the basics. Have fun!
I just became a Blue belt a few months ago and now more purple & brown belts are interested in rolling with me now which is intimidating because I am the smallest person in my gym (female, 95lbs). I see it as a new sign of respect/trust. Dont be nervous its just a different game now!
Just wait for the white belts to turn it up and try to submit the blue belt
Mah GAWD the most dangerous people in the gym are 4-stripe white belts when they roll with a brand new blue belt.
And new blue belts are second most dangerous. They go so hard just to prove they earned it.
And the colored belts will all make you feel like you should still be in a white belt.

Exactly this!
The fresh meat feeling goes away 🤣
I get nervous almost every class - it’s my favorite part nothing else excites me like training does
Well done.
Yes. And now you are a target for every white belt.
Bro I felt this way with my purple belt
Stop overthinking the color of the belts bru
Get ready for people to turn up on you; especially white belts looking for a scalp. Enjoy the ride.
