How long does it take to become a black belt in Krav Manga or Brazillian Ju Jitsu?

Question

At the rate of one session per week.

Answer 1

Krav maga does not use a belt system, they use rank badges.

It takes about 10 years to get on in Brazilian jiujitsu.

Answer 2

dont know about Krav

if you said 2 times a week that may have made a small difference...but generally frank has it right....about 10 years...

There are cases(BJ Penn) where if your double jointed, have a lot of time on your hands, and devote your life to it and have uncanny natural ability that you can get one faster(he earned his in a record 3 yrs)

overall though your looking at least 10 years, maybe slightly shorter, slightly longer depending on who you are.

Answer 3

krav doesnt have belts

for bjj ten years is how long it takes if you are good and are going 4-5 times a week; at once a week I would have to say its never going to happen

Answer 4

Um, at once a week unless it's a private lesson it's gonna take you forever and a day. If you're talking 1 private session with an awesome instructor and maybe one open mat session per week, then maybe something like 8-10 years. Depending on your athletic ability. But going once a week to a regular class, bottom line it ain't gonna happen. There's no way that you'll ever fully develop your game, plus you ain't gonna have any cardio from once a week. My advice, either go and make every attempt to be there 3-4 x week, or don't waste your money.
