So for background of my training history: I started Janurary 2020, only trained 2-3 times a week for a month before COVID shut down. Mostly trained kickboxing during the shut down. When I started back in June 2020 I started going to Jiu jitsu more. probably 4 classes a week. I stayed pretty consistent until August 2021 when I tore my Meniscus and then I got my Blue belt November 1st 2021. I quit doing kickboxing around the end of 2021 and went full Jiu Jitsu. Since December of 2021 I started doing about 8-10 Jiu jitsu Classes a week, sometimes more but thats the average, usually 5 days a week but sometimes 6. I have maintained this consistency most of the year and I have been to about 300 classes this year between Gi and No Gi.

So now for the main question. I have gotten two stripes in 10 months I believe the coach is intending to give me a third soon but I feel like its moving too quick? I usually have the upper hand on all the blue belts in my gym, and I can handle most blue belts at other gyms/ people who visit us. I am very competitive with all our purple belts and am starting to give the brown belts some trouble.

I know I train more than the average person training, and I try to do 4-5 comps a year.

I have listened to a ton of podcast and videos about the progression of Jiu jitsu and how much time its supposed to take at each belt. But I don't want to rush it and I want to make sure I am learning/ growing at a pace that is correct for my belt. How can I tell if I am being promoted too quickly? Is it possible that because of the volume and my dedication to Jiu Jitsu that it just can happen faster for some people? I feel like it is hard to tell sometimes because I know the higher belts will sometimes go easier on lower belts so it could be a false sense of progression when I do well against the higher belts.

Looking for some insight from you guys since many of you have been through the belts and around a lot longer than I have. I appreciate all your responses and insights!
