Grading is based on a combination of attendance and skills.
For Children, our coaches will observe your progression in class for all stripes and belt progressions.
For Adults, our coaches will observe your progression in class for stripes only. In order to progress in belts, you will have to sit a test and will receive the corresponding belt upon completing and achieving the test.
If you have never done BJJ before, everyone starts as a white belt. The same applies to kids and youth.
