I'm 2 stripes at my gym. Just got promoted. Have been going 2x a week for a year. Am surprised I'd be 4 stripes at Gracie at I've got about 80 classes. But I guess the system is different. Not in a hurry to be promoted to blue until the coaches feel I'm ready anyway. Haven't tried Gracie as it's a bit far in my city from me and seems maybe too small a mat for the class sizes. But I respect the guys and all. Rolled with one of the folks from there visiting us who was very nice. He got me to a submission hold and didn't finish just to be nice. I probably had no stripes at that point.
2nd strip !! On the grind, loving it
Awesome! Thank you for clarifying all these. I have always been curious to see the recommended guidelines for advancing when you first start.
I’m a second stripe white belt. I’ve been coming for a year now. Hopefully due for number 3 in 4 to 6 months. I do 3 days a week
