For each belt there are four stripes.

Promotions will only be awarded to those that have shown they can use
the techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a competitive environment, to defeat opponents of a similar size, age and grade to themselves.

With these belts, there are no pre-grading courses and no grading courses to pay for. In fact the belt will have no financial cost what so ever.

It will however be a very expensive commitment of your time and the effort you put into your training, and will be a test of your fighting spirit every time you step on to the mat.
