Alright funny guys, I'm sure he's asking what people's belt levels, experience, etc. are. This is actually helpful to know who is answering our questions regarding technique or other advice.
I guess I've been training for about a year. White belt in bjj and no-gi. I've competed 4 times.
And if he wasn't asking this question, well he should have been.
the real BJJ belt system:
white, blue, purple, brown, black
if you're in a BJJ gym, and they claim to be official, and use more colors, they are full of shit.
and it takes on average, 2-3 years of consistent training to get a blue belt, 5-6 for a purple, and 8-9 for a brown, much more for a black. this is just what i have heard, and everyone has their own learning speed, so you could be a blue in a year or 5.
The yellow, orange, and green belts are only for kids. .
Yea, i've got 2 Brazilian friends, Pedro da Silva and Ariel da Cruz, both started bjj in brazil when they were about 8 (pretty common), and i know for sure that they had to get yellow, orange, green etc
