When did you stop being a noob

I still consider myself a noob ive been training for 6 months and know some stuff but still very humble!

Come on now guys... everyone is being a little humble here. There is a big difference between a noob and a blue belt. Noob status is like "How do I wrap the arm up for an americana? " or "Who is Renzo Gracie?" .... or crossing your feet while taking the back.

after becoming a 10th planet jiu jitsu blue belt after almost 4 years grappling I started to think I know a little bit ;)

everytime you lose you should feel like a noob

I think "noob" status is yours when: you have no idea about class etiquette, how to relax and learn during a roll, when you are so anxious for the sub that you crank someone faster than they can tap, kick them in the head going for position, or when you consistently refuse to wash your clothes after a work out. Get past these, and you're no longer a "noob" in my book. It doesn't have anything to do with ability; just attitude and outlook. If it were about winning and losing we'd all be noobs with guys like Eddie and Marcelo walking around.

For me it took about a year, i learn pretty fast tough but i would say it takes atleast 1 year and 2 at most so between 1-2 years :)

the moment that i started developing control of my ego, id say thats when your not a noob

i think that you stop being a noob when someone with only a couple of hours experience can't do anything with you. you'll still be a beginner, but not a noob if that makes sense. anything less than this is excessive modesty in my opinion. but then again, what the fuck do i know?
