My White Belt

Cameron started training Jiu Jitsu at the age of 7 in Centennial, Colorado. He instantly fell in love with the sport and has been absolutely fascinated ever since. Cameron earned his blue belt at the age of 15 before being sidelined by a severe neck injury. This downtime turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though, because it helped Cameron discover his passion for teaching Jiu Jitsu. After receiving his purple belt, Cameron decided to make the pilgrimage to OCBJJ under the instruction of professor Tom Deblass in order to pursue his goal of becoming the best in the world. He has worked his way through the belt rankings, earning his black belt in January 2024. With Deblass's coaching, he has won the Pan-American Games, American Nationals, ADCC Open, and earned silver and bronze medals in the IBJJF Worlds. OCBJJ is a tight-knit family and Cameron couldn't be happier to be a part of the world-class instruction taking place at Ocean County Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.@cameronmellottThanks for listening to My White Belt!Order your My White Belt Shirts here: https://www.mywhitebelt.com/shopDonate to support our work here: https://cash.app/$JimTrick or Venmo @Jim-Trick (0423 if they ask) Join our free, My White Belt Wednesday, newsletter here: https://www.mywhitebelt.com/Follow us on Instagram @mywhitebeltSupport My White Belt when you shop ORIGIN x JOCKO FUEL by using discount code: TRICK10 https://originmaine.com/?ref=iRlDmaPt8CdIHSBighorn Athletics is the official grappling tape of My White Belt!Use code Mywhitebelt to save 10%https://www.bighornathletics.com/Check out Tactition Trays for your Every Day Carry! https://tacticiantrays.com/Use code: TRICK10 to save $$$Submit podcast questions here:https://www.mywhitebelt.com/podcast

Support Aloha Roll:On Tuesday, August 8, devastation hit Lahaina, Maui. The entire town of Lahaina was burned to the ground including many family's second home, Aloha Roll Academy. Now that several days have past, we know there is a need more than ever for our beloved academy. Students are practicing each other's garages and in the parks. Coaches are looking for short term and long term solutions to bring back some sort of normalcy for the kids, parents and adults of West Maui. All fund will be use for the rebuild of our Jiu Jitsu Academy. https://www.gofundme.com/f/aloharollrebuildSupport the familiesIn the heart of our community beats a spirit stronger than any challenge, a bond unbreakable, and a commitment that runs deeper than blood. Today, we stand united to face a devastating adversity that has struck at the very core of our values. The essence of our BJJ family is compassion, resilience and unity. We are a vibrant community where the echoes of laughter and the spirit of camaraderie resonate through every roll on the mats. But now, a storm has swept through our lives, leaving 48 families shattered in its wake. Close to 60% of the community lost their homes and entire possessions. +80% of them lost their source of income. We know what it means to stand shoulder to shoulder, to offer a hand when it's needed most, and to embrace each other's pain as our own. The culture we've nurtured isn't just about submissions and techniques; it's about extending our arms to lift one another up. Today, we come together not just as practitioners of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but as brothers and sisters bound by a shared commitment to rebuild what has been lost. https://www.gofundme.com/f/aloharollcommunityThanks for listening to My White Belt!Order your My White Belt Shirts here: https://www.mywhitebelt.com/shopDonate to support our work here: https://cash.app/$JimTrick or Venmo @Jim-Trick (0423 if they ask) Join our free, My White Belt Wednesday, newsletter here: https://www.mywhitebelt.com/Follow us on Instagram @mywhitebeltSupport My White Belt when you shop ORIGIN x JOCKO FUEL by using discount code: TRICK10 https://originmaine.com/?ref=iRlDmaPt8CdIHSBighorn Athletics is the official grappling tape of My White Belt!Use code Mywhitebelt to save 10%https://www.bighornathletics.com/Check out Tactition Trays for your Every Day Carry! https://tacticiantrays.com/Use code: TRICK10 to save $$$Submit podcast questions here:https://www.mywhitebelt.com/podcast
