    cool - congrats! what does a brown belt in bjj equate to - in say kenpo? (edgycate me please) ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,084 ✭✭✭mark.leonard


    My BJJ blue belt, was harder to get than my first and or second dan in TKD.
    There is no direct translation however, in the same way that you can't say to someone "I hope the road rises with you" in English, often this is misconstrued as a curse meaning "I hope you walk up hill the rest of your life"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭jim o doom


    I understand what u mean - i didn't mean say in levels of difficulty - like I just meant what belt number is it :) in kenpo brown is the sixth with another 2 and then your first dan.. I know WAY too little about bjj to compare it in terms of skills, because I literally know nothing about it, but am interested from the bits I read on wiki! :)

    Pretty sure it goes white -> blue -> purple -> brown -> black.

    Who are the Brazilian brown belts? Do they teach anywhere? What ever happened with that Brazilian guy who was supposed to be a black belt and doing classes in town?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭Clive


    There's one Brazilian brown belt up the North somewhere, but I don't know of any others who are actively training or teaching.

    In BJJ it takes 7-8 years to get to a brown belt. In kenpo if you train as hard you will get a brown belt in 3 years and a black belt in 4-5. It usually takes 10 years to get a BJJ black belt. That is the traditional way. In a lot of more modern schools they award BJJ black belts for the amount of titles won. That is how BJ Penn got his so quickly.
