Bjj Belt

About the Graduation System in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

It seems important to emphasize that the BJJ belt system is more stringent compared to that of other martial arts. The reason is simple: there are few Brazilian Jiu Jitsu belts and you will have to spend months or even years before earning a rank.

 

Also, the graduation system is different depending on whether it is an adult or a child. The latter begins with the white belt. Then he must reach the gray BJJ belt kids, then the yellow belt, then the orange belt and the green belt. Ultimately, a child must reach the blue belt. As for an adult, he starts with a white BJJ belt and goes up in rank through the blue belt, then purple and brown until reaching the black belt.

 

In addition, you should know that between each Jiu Jitsu belt, there are several levels to reach and each level is symbolized by white bands or black bands (for a child) and by white bars (for an adult). Each academy has its own grade pass. This can be done during an exam, competition or simple training.

The minimum practice time between each grade is set by the IBJJF

If the passage of grade is fixed by each academy, the minimum duration of practice between the grades is fixed by the International Federation of Brazilian Jiujitsu (IBJJF).

Thus, there is no minimum duration between the white Brazilian Jiu Jitsu belt and the blue belt. On the other hand, it takes 2 years of practice between the blue and purple belt, 1 year and a half between the purple and brown belt and 1 year between the brown and black belt.

As for the levels of the black Ju Jitsu belt, you must practice for at least 48 years before reaching the red belt. And for good reason :

 

  • The first degree black BJJ belt is obtained after 3 years of obtaining the black belt;
  • Ditto for obtaining the second degree, you need 3 years from obtaining the black BJJ belt of the first degree;
  • You will have to practice for 5 years minimum between the 4th, 5th and 6th degree of black BJJ belt;
  • As for the 7th degree of the black Ju Jitsu belt, it takes 7 years before it becomes red / black;
  • Ditto for the 8th degree, you must practice at least for 7 years from the obtaining of the 7th degree before your BJJ belt becomes red / white;

Regarding the 9th degree, you need 10 years of practice from the previous graduation;

It seems important to point out that there is also a 10th degree of red belt, but so far only the pioneers of this martial art have been able to obtain it.
