Why is it most people take most people around 10-15 years of training to reach black belt level in BJJ? www.kitdaletraining.com

Model vs system
I liked the video and commentary. Big fan here. I earned my blue approximately 2 years ago. I train 2-3 days a week. I recently switched schools due to moving from the Midwest and now I’m on the east coast. I competed 4 times last year. 4 times this year. Grappling industries 4 times and IBJJF once and few local tournaments. I’ sprained my knee at an open mat at my club here in Virginia almost 3 weeks ago. So no training since. My question is how good am I and how can I tell? I racked up 4 golds, silver, and 3 bronze in these last 2 years and I feel like training in the gi maybe stunting my growth because I don’t really train leg locks and hardly ever attend no gi class. Lets say I buy your online material and drill and train like mad. Will my new instructor notice and promote me sooner than later or should I focus on getting better quicker with your advice?
Awesome insight I'm 45 this year and my son started bjj a few months ago I have always trained stand up and over the past 15 years I have been doing a internal style with the same philosophy, my son wants me to train with him as I have always wanted to do bjj so your philosophy has just motivated me to try getting a black belt before I'm over the hill so to speak .
Cheers.
but im very aroused when im drilling my honey hole
the world needs more people like you .. you kick ass , take no bs, dont give a ?what people say/think, unbelievably smart , and you share your knowledge from your experiences to help others! ♥️?? who knew u were such a big deal huh? haha now i see why you have such a big following! well deserved
Great principles, but in practice the way we learn is mostly out of our hands unless we find an instructor that uses trial and error. Plus there is a tradition of being hyper conservatives in belt promotions in jiu jitsu, and again it's not up to you.
The fastest system in a regular gym would probably be to take as much privates as possible and ask the instructor to give you little hints on the right path out of a situation instead of teaching the whole technique
I like your philosophy on learning. My question is how does this approach work for the slow learner, unathletic or uncreative. I have to agree learning because a coach said so is kinda boring. I like the creative space of live sparing is that is the time I'm at my most creative.
This analogy would make a lot more sense if math also relied on muscle memory and was time constrained to the extreme degree BJJ sparring/competition is.
