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. |
-a 500lb shaq isnt going to get a blue belt just because he can sit on blue belts and make them tap, you gotta know technique to advance. and no instructor will hand you a belt in one outting, you gotta go to class at least a few times and he can see how you handle yourself against him and the other students, then at some point he'll give you a belt where he thinks you belong
