So I have kept coming across the same sort of comments about Gracie jiu jitsu belt rankings, more importantly the blue belt.
Everytime I see it mentioned someone immediately jumps in with negative comments etc about it and I just wanted to know why?
It's thought that they just hand belts out quick to people but according to Gracie academy it takes on average of 2 years to achieve a blue belt. Now I know for a fact there's plenty of bjj blue belts who've got theirs in a shorter time period but it's apparently worth more because they "earned" it.
I'm not saying it's not true, just wanted to know what everyone else thought.
