1-3 years. ive seen people get it in 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years,2.5 years, 3 years etc.... it really depends on how well your mind is able to grasp on to the true meaning of jiu jitsu(some people never will), if so your mind will subconsciously begin to put together all the different positions, techniques, and body movements that you learn to do physically. when this happens and your mind begins to grasp jiu jitsu, it will continue to grow and develop within you even as you are going about your day or laying in asleep in bed, your mind just working it all out so that you can begin to gently "fall into place" and defeat attackers with gentleness and fluidity instead of stiffening up, wasting energy, and trying to fight force with force.

just put on your gi, sit back and open your mind to jiu jitsu. learn to defeat aggressive assholes with superior leverage, technique, position, posture, and technique.
