You know someone's full of shit when they tell you they got their blue belt 5 weeks in, or that they'll "be getting a black belt" in a "couple years" with BJJ. It's not like TKD where 12 year olds run around in black belts - I think that's good. Much more realistic and meaningful. There's also a major teaching component involved. It's not all about how many moves you know, how well you compete. It's also about how well you teach others. | ||

It seemed to be the most convinient one as I've never been in Brazil before and don't have any contacts there Oh shit, nice man. Their training is very fierce. EDIT: I want to go back to Rio, but I think the only time I'll have is during the Olympics. :/ | ||

I hope it's not too intense as I want to be able to train as many times as possibly per day to take home as much technical improvements as possible. The limiting factor as far as I see it is how many hours on the mat per day my body can take. | ||

You will enjoy the experience immensely.  | ||

See this video... As mentioned in the comments, if the gunman is someone who is familiar with gun situations rather than a complete noob at physical grappling and knows how to hold someone as a hostage (most thugs), you wouldn't want to risk having your hand/head blown off: | ||

I mean, most stabbers aren't going to attack you in a perfectly choreographed fashion. Although I recognise you guys might improvise when re-enacting situations. But all it takes is one curve-ball to fuck you up. | ||

Should take about 1-2 yrs to advance from white to blue if you are actually at a legit place with a legit instructor. Should take 10+ to get black if you devote yourself to it.

It's not all about how many moves you know, how well you compete. It's also about how well you teach others. First of all, why do you need to insult TKD. Secondly, you really know alot about it juding by your last lines... /sarcasm Btw, for your knowledge, ITF is full contact. P.S. Kids in black belts is a rare thing, and those who have them have great technique and knowledge at that age. Imagine them at your age. P.P.S. Both vids are cool, but you have to train these things seriously for years and have a mindset to do it/risk your own life (and possibly not just yours) in such situation. Thing is - learning something like this from a vid is a naive, casual attitude which will land you in trouble. And doing something against a gun as a usual trainee... suicide. | ||

Emphasis on "thoretical" as in most cases you'll lose even a 2v1 fight as even one mistake will cost you a lot. Same with acting tough against a guy with a knife or a gun. The first reaction in an unfair fight is to run. | ||

Our highest belt doesn't play because he sucks too much, but watches every GSL match. | ||

 edit: At my school it would also take several years to get black. Usually 6+ (for a child it could take over ten. We weren't allowed to get a black belt till 16 or so even if you had been doing it since age 5). so maybe not as long as some places, but i think the school really influences how long it takes to belt up. | ||

I hurt my knee a year ago, cant train anymore. I used to grapple with my friend, he was 2 time olympian in Judo and it was pretty close. So I told myself I had olympic-level newaza and retired happy with my BJJ carreer maybe in the future after a knee surgery and with more free time I will start again, sometimes I miss the physical training and competitions very much | ||
