    Hi all,

    Looking for a club within reach of the city centre that trains in the evenings in jj 2-3 times a week where I could learn and grade for belts.

    Also being a complete novice at jj and training 2-3 times a week, how long would it take to achieve a blue belt?

    Much thanks in advance for your replies

    assuming JJ is meant to be BJJ
    If it japanese jiu jitsu i dont know.
    it would take anywhere from 1-3 years to get a blue belt i would say, depending on your natural learning talent and how good your teacher is, aswell as how your coach grades you too.



    i know blue's in 1 club that are better than purples in another, no names so dont ask.

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    Does Cork even classify as a city. . .:P !!

    Yes I meant Dublin City Centre! I'm moving to Ranelagh in the next month but I have a car so somewhere commutable from there would be ideal

    Id actually get the idea of a blue belt out of your mind for the time being, theres a good few stages of white belt to get through before you'd even be able to grade for a blue,and its tough going..Average time would be 1.5 years i guess but depending on your ability and your dedication it will take anywhere between 1.5 year and 3/4 years.
    Most of the guys who have gotten blues in under 1.5 yrs will have been at it at least 2/3 times a week and picked it up very quick.. Your aim for now should be to nail the basics down (sounds easier than it is), can be very frustrating at the start..

    The last thing that will be on your mind when some big cu*t has their weight bearing down on your chest is the colour of the piece of cotton wrapped around your waist.

    Just focus on learning the art & enjoy it!
