Jujitsu Belts

 

The system of progressing through the various Jujitsu belts is also used in a number of other martial arts. These belts provide milestones that students can use to quantify their progress as they work towards mastering the art. Students that spend more time training and honing their skills will be rewarded with a faster progression through the Jujitsu belts.

 

 

 

Standard System 

 

The belt ranking system is standardised across many other martial art styles, and the order in which you will progress is shown below:

  • White

  • Red

  • Yellow

  • Orange

  • Green

  • Blue

  • Purple

  • Brown

  • Black (1st dan)

Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Promotions 

 

The speed of your progression depends on what stage of the learning process you are in. An adult starting out in Jujitsu should expect to achieve their next belt grade every three months, until they reach the green belt. From this stage, techniques become more complex and difficult, and usually take a longer time to master. By the time you reach brown belt, it may take as long as two years to progress to black.

Moving Up the Ranks 

The Jujitsu student and instructor will both decide, based on the progress, whether the student is ready to test their ability and be promoted to the next Jujitsu belt. If the student is deemed to be ready, they will perform an assessment involving a demonstration of their ability to perform the techniques required.
