Want To Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

This sounds like good advice guys, I was thinking of trying it but I cannot get over the fact that it will take a year just to get to the point that your not dominated.

 

I started straight up with MMA and nogi grappling. I got smashed for a good 8-12 months, everyone I trained with were 90kg+ and I was only like 70. By the time I put a gi on I was already pretty decent and after about 3 months of gi training I was tapping the guys that used to smash me in nogi. But then I'd roll with a guy with more experience than me and I'd get destroyed. Or I'd have a particularly bad day or bad week and I'd get molested every night.

You'll have light bulb moments where one day everything just clicks and you notice huge improvements in your game, and then you plateau for a few months, making little to no gains before you make your next big leap. You just gotta keep going. Don't worry too much about how long it's going to take to get good, especially at any particular position or situation. You'll find out very quickly if it's meant for you or not, and if it is meant for you then just keep training and one day you'll realise that you're actually pretty good

How good are you supposed to be at blue belt? i recently got mine and sometimes i feel i dont deserve it.

 

You should have a very high knowledge of BJJ and have an array of escapes, defences and attacks that you can use in a whole host of positions.
