KIDS & ADULTS GRADING SYSTEM

Stripes

Kids are awarded stripes as encouragement to continue training and developing their skills in the art. As they grow on and off the tatami they will be graded their stripes. After they receive four stripes their next grading will be a change in belt colour.

Kids Coloured Belts

When your child grades to their first or next belt it is an indicator that they’re learning and developing a higher level of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and self defence.

A change in belt can only be achieved through gaining 3 stripes.
