There are also 5 belts for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Belt advancement varies from school to school.
Kids aged 16 and over are encouraged
to join our adult program.
​
As you can see, since there are only 5 belts advancement
takes a lot of effort and commitment to the art.
On average, it usually takes a couple years to advance belts
(given that the student is training 3x per week or more).
People who've reached the black belt level take an average of 10 years of consistent training to achieve it.
​
Remember, try not to focus on belts. Focus on
improving in the art each day and don't give up!
