Did you know that in order to get a certification for your black belt by CBJJ you need to take a course in first aid?
I was impressed.

Your talking about top level athletes... not the average joe black belt in judo... Your talking about two of the best.ipponzei what said:I think that depends a lot on where the Judo black belt is from, what type of stuff that particular judo school trains, etc. For the most part, though, I'd say a judo black belt is probably higher than your average BJJ blue belt. I don't know too many blues who would tap Hidehiko Yoshida or Kosei Inoue or whoever else.
VampireMonk said:I think many Judo blackbelts like to thing they are like purple belt or higher in BJJ ground work,
but I think the reality is that they are like blue belt level.
given the same size, same age.
If it takes 4 yrs. to get a black belt in Judo and half the time is spent on standing,
then it makes sense, because half of 4 years is 2, and your average blue belt takes 2 years.
