I used to train a little bit of BJJ, never seriously at all in a competitive sense, I never aspired to be anything more than an amateur hobbyist. But I went to a serious gym with people who competed in the UFC and international grappling like Abu Dhabi or the Mundials.

Anyway there if you're familiar with BJ Penn, he originally burst in the scene for winning Mundials as a black belt after only training for four years. One of the women at my gym did that in the same time frame. She finished third at Abu Dhabi, beating Megumi Fuji in the process. She was, I think, 44-4 against women in grappling. She wasn't just world class but probably the best in her weight class as a woman (maybe ever). She had a 9-8 record against middle competition dudes and that's not a knock on her it is really impressive.
