Judo is cool, there are some Judo guys making noise in NHB now.
Yeah, also depends on how often you train...
I did a month with Edson Carvalho's school in Salvador, Brazil, and most the guys there were taking the black belt in about 8 years, but then again they tose guys were training 5-6 days a week 3-5 hours a day. I even got to wrestle the state Vale Tudo champion (same as NHB), he thrashed me pretty easily :D

I have done some BJJ, maybe 8 months in total, and from what I can see it is an extremely effective method 1 on 1, probably more than Judo, but I find that Judo is more effective if you do get in a real life situation, since it gives you more options on your feet.

My plan is now to do some TKD or Muy-Thai then I should be eligable to do some NHB
