Default Other Arts = BJJ Belt

Hey im just wondering if you know other grappling or jiu jitsu or whatever from another art, could you just go to a BJJ class and ask for a belt test.

Like say you could tap out all the blue belts in their class, could you ask for a purple?

I do Krav Maga and most of the ground work in it is from BJJ, actually probably 95%+ is bjj.

My Krav Maga teacher is at least a purple belt in BJJ, (I remember him saying, back in the day when I was a BJJ purple belt at this tournament...)

soo he may be higher.

Im fairly confident that I could destroy all the white belts, and probably whatever belt is just above that in a grappling match from my wrestling/jiu jitsu, and just over all brute force (not as good as technique but it definetly helps).


Anyway what do you think, I dont really need to gratify myself with "oh ive got a brand new belt", but Id like to know where I stand in the grappling world and I think BJJ is best to measure myself against.
