So if you started training at 6 years old, you only going to be a blue belt at 16.
A 16 year old blue belt that has been doing jiujitsu for 10 years probably could beat most TMA black belts, to be honest. |
depends who taught them, jujitsu is afterall a TMA

And if you PAY ATTENTION, you will see that I SAID that BOTH of my kids have been training since they were SIX. And FYI, she actually fractured her radius while testing for her 1st dan. Think she doesn't deserve it, come tell her in person. You have the address. It's all over my website.
It has taken two years SINCE RECIEVING her FIRST dan, to even be CLOSE to be ready to test for her 2nd dan. |
I understand, but 2nd dan is no less important than first dan, it should be like taking your kyu grades all over again but with a different aspect, it is no less important

sign of a bad/bias instructor imo, if I go to a shcol where the instructor is pushing his own further than the rest of the students then I leave.

I do not have a black belt, but in the sytem I study it is a minimum of 6 years over the age of 16, most people manage it in 7-8 years, and then the same rule apllies for each dan following that, so a minimum of 12 years for 2nd dan and so on.
Not that belts matter.
