How long does it take to get BJJ Black Belt (FORMULA)

In this video I share how long it takes to get a BJJ Black Belt. I also share the FORMULA to achieve your BLUE, PURPLE and BROWN Belts in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I'm only a BJJ Blue Belt (4-Stripes) so I'm not a black belt. I was able to combine a little research and experience to put this video together in an attempt to answer a subscribers question! Hope you enjoy.

Hope you enjoy this video! Just for perspective, I’ve been a blue belt for well over 3 years....I’m a slow learner! 😃 - would love to hear your story. How long did it take you to progress to the belt you are today?

The only promotion that matters is when you promote yourself to white belt and start training. everything else is just the trip...

Spot On! I am a 70 year old Blue Belt. It took me slightly less than one year to get a blue belt. I am not a fast learner, nor am I athletically gifted. (Unless you count being able to roll at 70 gifted). But as a retiree, I can get roughly 6 hours a week on the mat. So, what's my point? Mat Time = Progress. Belts are a measure of progress. second point: If you're retired, take up bjj. It will change your life. Mat time is better than couch time!

Started BJJ in 2009
I got my BLACK BELT 2 months ago.

Absolutely, NO REGRETS !!!

Great analysis. I’ve been training BJJ 7.5 years, and I was recently awarded my brown belt. I’m a hyper consistent 3-4 x week trainer, so your math, at least for me, is spot on. The most important belt to me was blue. No one had ever obviously recognized me like that before, so it was a big deal. Since starting bjj, I’ve developed an attitude of constant training, and I’ve completely de-focused on rank. Game changer, because I LOVE training, and the awards are gravy. I also love teaching bjj, so that probably helps with progression as well. Great video, well done!

It is definitely a journey. It took me (Danny) 3 years to get my blue belt. As of today I’ve been a blue belt for 15 months.

[Oberronn]

My best advice as a 21 year veteran is that it takes you as long as it takes you. Enjoy the journey, don’t give up and remember that your hard work will pay off! Everyday porrada!

Took me 2 years 10 months to get blue belt. Now I've been a blue belt for about 3 months still loving the grind. And I'm so aware I'm no where near my purple belt

[Slashoom]

World averages according to belt checker:

White to blue: 2 years, 9 months
Blue to purple: 3 years, 3 months
Purple to brown: 3 Years, 2 months
Brown to black: 2 Years, 11 months

Total time from white to black belt: 10 years, 2 months

I'm 3 months in and just received my first stripe on my white belt, i was pretty happy i wont lie haha! I used to box, the good thing about boxing is theres no accolades for a boxer in a gym unless he wins titles. Not all but many People in bjj are too focused on a belt. I feel as long as i can feel improvements ill keep that white belt no problem!

[sutt]

Got my first stripe on the white today. So that’s me happy

[austinsmith]

Cool video dude, I just got my Blue belt a couple weeks ago. Im young, athletic and learn quickly, I also have a ton of time to train. It took me 10 months and I shoved over 800 hours into ten months. Keep uploading dude!

6 hours a week, over 4 years, and still a blue belt....I hate your math but damn, I love to roll.

[bruceweis]

I will always consider myself a white belt, no matter what color I wear around my waist.

[matthewcrawford]

Yes I want to level up my belt, who doesn't, but the real carrot on the stick is the constant learning. I never walk off the mat not learning something new. That constant learning cycle is what is so addicting and rewarding. It is like chess and when you see it you can't help but come back for more. Nothing is better than moving from the white belt survival mentality to seeing the opportunities and successfully executing a move.

One of my favorite BJJ phrases is "a black belt is a white belt who just keeps showing up."

[ZacharySahuque]

This is easily the best video about the time to get a black belt. Bravo!

[kylacolom]

I go everyday!! Never missed a day and In January it will be one year of training bjj. Two days ago I just got my third stripe on my white belt 🥰. This video is encouraging!! So on average I spend 6 hours a week every week because some days classes are twice if that counts. Sadly I do not do open mats cause work 😅🥲

[phoenixdave]

I have been doing bjj for a month and a half. I love it. Zero care about a belt. I've learning

[agarraaki]

I’ve been training jiu jitsu for 8 months now and iam 45 years old. Just went for my first competition and got a gold medal 🥇…no stripes yet though but tbh I just want to keep rolling at every opportunity I get. Stay safe out there guys. 🙏🏾

What used to get me about belts was people asking me 'what belt are you?' When they'd hear you trained. People would laugh when I'd say I was still a white belt, not knowing that BJJ belts take even longer to earn: "You're still a white belt, but you've been training for 2 years..?" "You Mustn't be very good..".lol. Cant be bothered now trying to explain it to them.
