ART OF JIU JITSU

PROMOTIONS ARE BASED ON DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO EACH INDIVIDUAL'S PERSONAL JOURNEY AND GOALS. IF A STUDENT STARTS AT 3 YEARS OLD, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO EARN 12 STRIPES ON THEIR WHITE BELT (ONE FULL YEAR) BEFORE BEING PROMOTED TO GREY & WHITE BELT. IF A STUDENT STARTS AT 4 YEARS OLD, THEY WILL RECEIVE ONLY 4 STRIPES ON THEIR WHITE BELT (4 MONTHS) BEFORE BEING PROMOTED TO GREY & WHITE BELT.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MONTHLY STRIPE PROMOTION:
- DISCIPLINE WITHIN THE CLASS SETTING
- TECHNICAL PROGRESSION OF JIU JITSU
- IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STUDENT'S COMMUNICATION SKILLS
- CONTINUED GROWTH IN STUDENT'S CONFIDENCE
- ATTENDANCE (MINIMUM OF 8 CLASSES BETWEEN STRIPE PROMOTIONS)

THE MONTHLY STRIPE PROMOTION APPLIES FOR THE KIDS 3-5 AND 5-7 PROGRAMS. IN THE 8-13 PROGRAM, PROMOTIONS ARE BASED ON THE COACHES' EVALUATION OF THE STUDENT'S LEVEL.
