He asked a question whats wrong with giving an answer without feelings being involved. I feel we are some what family, members in the MAs, I'll answer your questions after we are through with this discussion. Hope this doesn't offend, it wasn't my intention. _________________________ DBAckerson

Fletch1 Professional Poster Registered: 06/21/04 Posts: 2217 Loc: Florida	I am an active instructor and currently a new Brown Belt in BJJ. BJJ rank is difficult to equate to typical kyu/gup ranks. _________________________ www.brazilianjiujitsunaples.com

Ronin1966 Professional Poster Registered: 04/26/02 Posts: 3113 Loc: East Coast, United States	Hello neko456: If that is the case (I hijacked) then I genuinely and earnestly apologize. I loved his question(s) simply wanted to add a few more levels of detail. The people who do it daily vs. a couple times a month. Important difference IMV-fwiw... Jeff

Aezed Member Registered: 12/02/02 Posts: 90 Loc: Cupertino, CA, USA	It's not that difficult to equate BJJ ranks to standard gup/kyu ranks, IMHO. For example, I'd put a typical BJJ brown belt as somewhere between 2nd and 3rd dan.

Leo_E_49 Professional Poster Registered: 02/24/05 Posts: 4115 Loc: California	Really depends on where you go though, because gradings in BJJ are relative to the skill of the class and instructor. However, I tend to agree, a purple belt in BJJ is usually already a competent instructor. _________________________ Self Defense (Website by Marc MacYoung, not me)
