We get questions every now and again here at Jiu Jitsu Times and some of them are really interesting. Recently a reader sent in this question, and I』ll do my best at answering it.
我們在柔術周刊經常收到一些有趣的讀者提問。其中一個問題想必大家也很有興趣，我會盡我最大努力來回答。
「Should a lower belt student ever be able to tap out a higher belt in BJJ?」
「在柔術的世界裡，低帶位有機會擊敗高帶位嗎?」
For starters, I want to clarify my opinion on belts: they (plural) mean nothing. An individual’s belt can meanthe world to that individual, and can hold significance to those immediately around them, but a blue belt world champion is probably on the same technical level as an average, non competing hobbyist black belt.
對新手來說，我想首選澄清一下我個人關於帶位的觀點：他們其實並不代表什麼。
帶位可能對個人來說是非常重要的畢竟是對你個人技術的肯定，同時在你和你的柔友之間也是非常有意義的。但是一個世界冠軍級的藍帶選手和一個普通的業餘黑帶可能有著相同的技術水平。
So are we talking about a hobbyist black belt and a blue belt worldchamp???
所以讓我們如何評估業餘黑帶和世界級藍帶他們之間的帶位所代表的意義？
Another point to be made on this specific subject: there are world class grapplers who are white belts in BJJ. A Sambo master of sports is a white belt in BJJ if they have never been promoted by a BJJ instructor. Acatch wrestling expert or a Luta Livre black belt is technically a white belt in BJJ. However, chances are a master of sport in Sambo or a Luta Livre black belt can tap out BJJ black belts.
還有一些特別的情況比如一個世界級的纏鬥選手在柔術世界裡可能只是一個白帶。一個桑博大師，一個職業摔跤選手或者a Luta Livre黑帶他們從未學過柔術在理論上都是一個白帶。但是這些選手們都有機會擊敗一個柔術黑帶。
Another thing to take into account is that not every black belt rolls the same way every time they roll. I』ve rolled with black belts who were working on their armbar defense so they let me put them in an armbar, and sometimes I managed to get the tap, while other times they got out.
而且每個黑帶在和別人切磋的時候不一定想擊敗對手。我曾經和一個黑帶實戰的時候，他專注與十字固防守，他特意把自己放進我的十字固中，有時候他被降服有時候他成功的逃走。
I』ve rolled with black belts who were much smaller/less athletic than I amand I was able to use my athleticism to get the better of them. Like it or not, size and athleticism do play a roll during live rolling.
我曾經和體重小於我身體素質不如我的黑帶實戰，我可以利用這些優勢擊敗他們。不管大家是否承認這點：體重和身體素質在實戰中是非常重要的。
Yet another very important point to think about is that most people put their bodies through hell on the road to black belt. Many people don’t make it to black belt without having messed SOMETHING up, and some black belts are not in great shape in comparison to a fresh white or blue belt.
此外還有一個觀點非常的重要：許多黑帶的身體經歷過地獄般的磨練，其中大部分都有一些舊傷。還有一些黑帶同一些生猛的藍帶相比並不是很強壯。
I』ve seen white belts tap out brown and even black belts when there was a major size disparity or when it was submission only and the white belt was freakishly strong. These sorts of things happen, and aren’t necessarily an indictment of the upper belts’skills or an affirmation of the lower belts’skills.
我曾經看到過白帶擊敗棕帶甚至黑帶，他們之間的體重差別非常之大，而且那位白帶太TM壯了。這種事時常發生但是並不證明高帶位的技術不行，或者低帶位的技術很強。
Anyone can catch anyone given the right circumstances, mistakes can be made either by accident or deliberately to test oneself. Size、strength and physical condition can play important rolls in the performance of a black belt against lower belts, andvery often ones』 belt rank is not a direct reflection of their available skillset.
任何人在條件適合的情況下能夠擊敗任何人（一切都是時勢使然？）錯誤可能是無心之失或者有意為之只是為了挑戰一下自己。體重，力量，身體狀況都會影響一個黑帶和一個低帶位實戰中的表現，很多情況下帶位並不能反應一個人的真實技術。
If you are an upper belt, have you ever been submitted by a lower rank? How about the humble white belts among us, have any ofyou ever subbed an upper belt? Guess what, nobody cares, go train!
你是否作為一個高帶位被低帶位降服過？你當年萌新的時候擊敗過帶位比你高的師兄？其實，沒人在乎，大兄弟別瞎操心了，趕緊去訓練。
最後為大家獻上一個白帶打敗黑帶的視頻。
