Question for Blue Belts and up...

[Jd Hidlebaugh]

How long (on average) did it take each of you to move from white to blue belt?

Just curious.

Thanks.

About 1.5 years since I started grappling, about 1 year after I started BJJ using a gi.

 

[codemonkey76]

7 and 1/2 months... i had about 8 mths of JJJ before that though, and good competition results

2 years. my school held belt promotions once a year in conjunction with an in house tourney. I missed the first promo and had to wait a another year to get promoted. we had some white belts that were technically high blues cause they never would go to the promos ( the promo event costs $100 per student)

7 months. 2 of those months were 2 a days/6 days a week preparing for the pan ams, which i went 2-1 in.

About a year, however I had trained no-gi submission grappling for a couple years informally before beginning formal BJJ classes. 3 1/2 years after that for purple.

You're all superstars.

2 years in, white belt.

Almost all gi, all the time.

I actually only started posting so much recently to get a belt with some color.

 

[Reveen]

Just over 2 years.

 

[damit2hell]

8 months no prior training

 

[mikey5time]

I suspect I'll get my blue belt after around.. 4 years. Pity belt.

 

[The Colonel]

Sigh

Around two years I think...GOD that was a long time ago though...

I have no idea when the hell I'll ever get my purple.

 

[Kool Aid Man]

Close to 4 years.

 

[alphamale]

took me the standard 2 years for blue, including a few months off when my son was born.

 

[SuperSuperRambo]

About 2 years. I only was able to train about twice a week at the time, but I had a solid wrestling base so I suppose that canceled it out. Cause it's hard to advance training so infrequently. But all in all, about 2 years.

 

[Slithers]

Almost a year and a half.

 

[FLMikeATT]

about 11 months training 3-4 times a week.

 

[UxSxI]

yesss. inconsistency kills a lot!

 

[Eric Renzo NH]

9 months of active training

(Year and 3 months total but i took 6 months off for my knee)

Haha i know the feeling. You have to enjoy getting your blue belt because you're going to have it for years...
