Cool. Good luck. How long have you been training? What type of belt system does your system use? You should video it if possible.

I should be going for my blue in bjj in like 3 years

Is it hard to get blue belts? Cos I always hear about how blue belts own black belts in BJJ and other styles as well.

And good luck Jack.

are blue is quite tough because its only one belt before brown and brown in our system is a BIG deal so the dans like to push you hard.

In BJJ, the belts go white, blue, purple, brown, black. The average bjj blue belt is 2-4 years depending on factors such as time, age, prior experience. Someone who has been wrestling their whole life will get their blue in 2 years.

I think the only reason bjj blue belts might own other styles black belts is that in order to get the blue, you have to be able to apply all the basic moves against multiple people of different weights/experience who are resisting at 100%. A lot martial arts, mostly the TMAs, dont require that and focus on katas and such. BJJs main focus is sparring at 100% every class.

Thats cool. I would love to train JJJ in addition to BJJ. I find JJJ very interesting would take it if I had the time. There are a few guys in my school that train both.
