Competition question

[tudor_bjj]

Guys, I wanna compete in my first no gi competition. I'm a blue belt (received it in June this year). Which level should I enter: beg, int or adv? Thanks!

Intermediate I'd say. Advance would be purple, brown, black

 

[Dominic Kihlstrand]

it depends, how long have you been training for? most tournys that do no gi go by years training.

if you train more than a year go Intermediate, if more tha 3 go Advanced.

this is off the naga registration form:
novice - under 6 months (no wrestlers)
beginner - 6 months to 2 years
intermediate - 2 to 5 years
expert - 5+ years

with that being said there're guys in my school who've been training just over a year and won intermediate several times ... so if you are at least on an avg level for a blue belt you should be going intermediate

perfect ive only been doing this 4 months and school all the guys who have been there for around a year... gets me hopefull for novice.

Thanks, guys! I'll go intermediate then, although in september it will be 2 years since I began training...
