The belt system for children at Gracie Barra New Mexico provides a clear path for their progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The system is designed to mark a student’s development, moving from one stage to the next as they learn. The focus is on showing their growth in skills and their commitment to training.
How the belt system works!
The belt progression for children at Gracie Barra New Mexico starts with the white belt. From there, students advance through a series of colored belts. Each belt color represents a different stage of learning. Stripe promotions are used to mark smaller achievements within each belt level. This process allows instructors to recognize a student’s effort and improvement on a more frequent basis. The stripes are a way to acknowledge consistency and the mastery of specific techniques.

A focus on development, not competition!
The purpose of the belt system for kids is to support their ongoing development. The emphasis is on learning the fundamental principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students are encouraged to focus on their own progress rather than comparing themselves to others. The system is a tool to motivate and provide a tangible representation of their hard work. Belts are awarded based on consistent training, technical ability, and discipline in class.
Structured learning and growth!
This structured approach to belts helps to create a positive learning environment. Students understand what is expected of them and can see a clear path forward. As they move through the different belts, they gain a deeper understanding of the techniques and principles of the martial art. The belt system at Gracie Barra New Mexico is an integral part of the training, helping to guide young students through their journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
