Mighty Dragons – Once per week students can expect to advance belt level every 6 months with consistent attendance. Twice per week and unlimited students can expect to progress every 3 months with consistent attendance. Mighty Dragons is where we start laying the foundations for showing respect to teachers, coaches, parents, and other students; discipline, and good teamwork. All of these things are taken into account before awarding a stripe. You will know your child is ready to promote when they have two black stripes and one red stripe on their belt. Promotion ceremonies for Mighty Dragons happen in class on the first Wednesday of the month. If you are unable to make it to class on Wednesday, your child will be awarded their belt at their next class.
Youth and Adult Martial Arts – Once per week students can expect to advance belt level every 6 months (one stripe every two months) with consistent attendance and the ability to demonstrate belt level material. Twice per week and unlimited students can expect to promote every 3 months (one stripe per month) with consistent attendance and the ability to demonstrate belt level material. As students progress in belt rank, the techniques become more difficult and students may not earn a stripe every month. This is OKAY! You will know you or your child is ready to promote when they have two black stripes and one red stripe on their belt. Graduation ceremonies for youth and adults are at 6:30pm on the first Wednesday of the month. You can check the website calendar for graduation dates.
JiuJitsu - Youth and Adult Jiujitsu follows IBJJF belt grading. Stripes are earned through a combination of attendance and skill. We do not test monthly for stripes in jiujitsu, stripes are earned roughly every 4 – 8 months and after 4 stripes we begin the process of testing for your next belt.
