@johnnylogic What style of martial arts do you do? I do Aikido and Tai chi

@ambulocetus Cool. I am a purple belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu, though I have been interrupted in my practice of late. I enjoy learning about the many martial arts of the world and I occasionally watch MMA.

@johnnylogic Cool. I heard it takes a long time to get a black belt in BJJ

@ambulocetus Yup– it takes most people 10 to 15 years to get one, and boy can you feel the years of experience when sparring with them!

@johnnylogic That’s the way it should be. Too many styles practically sell their black belts. I’ve seen some schools that have 16 year old Black belts, and that’s just ridiculous.
