I think I got mine in like 2 or 3 months of not even very consistent attendance e: the official guidelines of my gyms association (CTA) is like 40 classes per stripe at white I think double e: I wasn't at my current gym when I started though Dave Grool fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jun 9, 2017 |

At my gym, the first stripe is knowing the basic curriculum (the moves we do every day in warmup), so a month or less.

White belts at my gym get one stripe for every 25 hours of class.

For those schools that have a stripe to hour ratio, are these cases of people who just don't learn as fast as others and wind up racking up stripes (or inverse, very quick/prior grappling history and don't get more than a few at the lower belts before moving on)?

Gracie Humaita requires everyone to get 4 stripes before they test for their next belt. The belt test is just a demonstration of knowledge and isn't really representative of your ability to roll. White to blue is super easy and viewed as the belt that just shows you're committed to furthering your knowledge in jiu jitsu. Blue to purple is the longest time between stripes (115 hours) and that's pretty much where most people catch up to the curve.

We don't have a class or time standard for stripes they are given for progress. Stripes are not rank. They don't mean anything but are just a way of encouraging people between belts and giving a rough measure of progress. People should not give much thought to them or ascribe any kind of ranking from them.

In judo we only give stripes to 5-6 year olds for hanging out with us for a year even if they didn't even really learn any judo. We give half belts to kids, but they don't mean anything other than "you are better at judo than last time we thought about grading" - they have no effect on competition or anything. Once a kid switches to the adult class we stop handing out half belts. The highest half belt we've ever given out at my club since I've been there is orange/green. Half belts do look loving rad though....

Being a white belt, to me, kind of an ambiguous rank. It's probably the only belt where I think stripes are good, just to make it easy at a glance to tell between "It's their second week" vs "It's their second year."

Due to various circumstances and A LOT of bad timing I was never graded above white belt, even when I had like 4 years of training 4 times per week and doing advanced div nogi competitions and stuff Attending a new club was always fun. Not being able to compete at all in BJJ competitions due to a catch 22 of being too experienced to sandbag white belt divs but too literally a white belt to compete in anything above- not quite as fun. These days I have re-earned my white belt by having become terrible, so it all worked out in the end.

I started teaching a couple of friends who live nearby some basic BJJ out of my garage, because they can't afford to train. I expected it to be burdensome but man, I'm learning so much from teaching. Being forced to revisit my own fundamentals is eye opening.

See what we have here is specificity in action. You pay a dude who hopefully knows Bjj very very well, but you would not pay him to draw a tat.

Plenty of surgical options, it doesn't have to be the end of your grappling forever. However, based on the people I know who have had the same, you are going to be taking some serious time off. I think that's L4/L5, which is what my partner had go wrong.
