I (in the future) would like to compete in MMA/NHB fights, but I need ground fighting work. I have taken SOME JJ, and I now have access to Bayless JJ, and I wondered how long I need to give myself to learn the fundamentals of JJ. Please keep in mind I do not want to rely solely on my stand-up/Muay Thai---I would like to be fairly versed in JJ also.
Thanks. |

| well do your jiu jitsu training for a little while and start competing in submission grappling tournaments. that will prepare you pretty well.....you already got the striking just work on your ground skills through training and competition |

| Thank you---I was not aware that there was submission grappling tournies without strikes...That would be good to concentrate on grappling only. |

To understand fully the fundamentals.basics of Jiu Jitsu (or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - the one i studied) u need to study it for at least 2 years. Most BJJ guys go up to purple belt or something after 2/3 years. U really can't compare striking to grappling, cos they're so different.

The senseis that train me trained for over ten years to get their black belt, but not many people have enough time to train. If your good you can probably get it in 5 years.

| I'd say training for the basics of BJJ 6 hours a week....if you're a quick study..2 years. It's worth it! |

I learned the basics to survive a ground fight in about 2 months. I think thats the average. The rest of the time is spent learning new locks, holds, and chokes..further enhancing your arsenal. You'll be a good profieciant ground fighter in about 2 months if u are dedicated enough.
Hasta!!

I only know two guys who do BJJ, one is my TKD instructor, he's a blue belt after I think like a year or so, and the guy who's school I was looking at earlier this month, he's a brown belt, but I think he's been at it for a LONG time! He was a purple belt for four years before attaining a brown belt. Oh, and by the way...the ranks in BJJ go like this to anyone who doesn't know them (I think this is standard Gracie grading...I've done some reading...White, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black. So yes, two years for a purple belt is a short time, but then again, some just pick things up more quickly! |

well if you train hard lets say 3 or 4 days a week you should pick up a h$ll of alot of grappling knowledge, do that for about 6 months and you should be more than ready, although it takes some people alot longer to understand the techniques in bjj, also you have to work to blend your muay thai with your bjj, work on taking the guy down from the clinch and you might have to modify your thai clinching habits to be able to take the guy down on a moments notice ,instead of standing there and kneeing him
good luck
