Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a highly variable sport. This is most noticeable when a practitioner starts looking at belt promotion requirements. The belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu go white, blue, purple, brown and black, with the first four belts generally have four stripes each and the black belt having six degrees.

However, the number of promotional degrees in a black belt is getting far ahead of us, because one of the information almost every Brazilian jiu-jitsu beginner wants to know is what do you need to know to get your blue belt? The truth is that it depends on the school. Most schools give the blue belt when the student can finally beat all the white belts and hang with the other blue belt holders. Some schools have a specific list of techniques each student needs to know and have formal tests.
Some schools needs practitioners to have a positive number of decent techniques from every position (mount escapes, mount attacks, closed guard submissions, closed guard sweeps, and so on). Some schools place a huge importance on a number of classes attended since your last promotion. And some schools, however, have a list of blue belt technical requirements, but in reality, promotion is based totally on your ability to kick ass on the mats.

Here’s a review of yet another white to blue Belt curriculum series that is well tailored and complete in its basic scopes of the basics involved in developing a solid BJJ game. This DVD series by Prof Joao Crus is an ideal curriculum for practitioners hoping to get a blue belt degree and also for beginners which could help them to know what is expected from them to achieve such a huge success. As expected, all the main areas for developing into a solid Blue Belt are covered; positional skills, attacking and defending, counters, escapes, guard passes, sweeps, set-ups, and submissions.
Most impressively, Professor Joao Crus leaves no stone untouched as he covers all the secret tricks, movements and crucial details to allow for the best performance of the techniques.

Professor J.C techniques would be a great style for you as he approaches delves much deeper than the learning of a technique into fully understanding and mastering the full scope of the skills presented.
The first of the DVDs is separated into the four sections of Bottom Game, Top Game, Submissions, and Takedowns. It is very easy to navigate through the selections to view each of them individually or you can view them all together consecutively. The second DVD introduces Escapes as well. The third and fourth DVDs further build on these five areas and take the student into a more complex technique required for Blue Belt proficiency.

The approach is seamless as the first DVD introduces the fundamental basics and the following DVDs progress logically into more difficult skills to ensure the development of a solid Blue Belt game. Personally, I find that these video guides help with focusing on the individual material being taught without overwhelming the student. Also, it makes it easier for finding the footage you want to review over again without having to search through an extended part of the DVD.

Finally, I would like to reaffirm that the techniques on the DVD are up to date featuring a thorough introduction to open guard techniques as well as the Butterfly Guard and De La Riva Guard.
This makes for a nice bonus as the techniques looked at not only completely cover white to Blue Belt level but go beyond that as well.

The information presented in these DVD series serves as an adventure towards achieving great success in BJJ games to uncover how to gain  blue belt skills. Following the instructions in the DVD series is a great step for success.
