The first belt is red, then white, yellow , orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown and then Black. After Black comes the Dans, First Dan, Second Dan, Third Dan etc.

 

To obtain a belt you enter a grading where you display locks, throws etc to a panel of  high  grade  examiners, from the syllabus pertaining to your present grade .

 

To pass the grading you need to show that you have acquired sufficient skill and knowledge as appropriate for your level of expertise and that you have the right attitude toward Ju Jitsu.

 

As you progress through the grades you are expected to show a higher level of skill and knowledge at each grading.

 

On average it may take a student  3 -5 years to obtain that coveted Black Belt, but the good news is that whatever your skill level is now we will work with you to ensure that you get from Ju Jitsu whatever it is you are seeking.

 

 

The grading syllabus  is designed in a manner to allow the beginner to develop skill and confidence. The grading system measures your progress and indicates the level of skill and understanding that you have reach by means of belt colour.

 

The belts and the minimum time limit between grades for a person training twice a week regularly are shown below:
