Ten months training 6 days a week,somedays twice.
Was'nt allowed to train gi at another local club after a while due to wearing a whitebelt with no stripes.
Codemonkey you obviously had been training at home before you started bjj,are you counting your home training in two classes a week?

Less than a year, but winning comps at white helped.

About 6 months (probably sooner actually), had 2 tournaments, 1 MMA fight in that time. Trained pretty often (4-5+ times a week).

kind of like me, leaving out the mats in my house, the wrestling around and the insane flexibility you got lol.......
