How long until proficiant in BJJ

[dmac00]

How long do you think it takes to become proficiant in Brazilian Ju Jitsu. I train 2 days a week for an hour. I am very eager to learn.

Different for different people.

Huge differences in that, all depends on the person, the instructor, the training partners, attitude, training methods and a bunch of other things.

^ he's right.

However, since you want a more specific answer, I'd say at least 2 years.

[YODA]

It also depends on what you call "proficient"

At 2 hours a week it will take some time to get whatr would be considered good by BJJ standards. I would check with class mates to see if any want to get togheter and work out/roll on what you are learning. It will help speed up your progress if you can increase to 6 - 8 hours a week.

it takes a lot of practice and sparring to become proficient in BJJ. the more mat time you have, the better you become, just like a pilot, the more flight time he has, the better he becomes

[KiWarrior]

After three weeks you can already have some fun with newcomers of similar size and strength.

Proficiency is something else.

[Dropbear]

asking how long it takes to become proficient in something strikes me as an exceedingly strange question, and clashes with my beliefs that there are no stupid questions..

/rant off... :cry:
