Journey through the
adult belts
Belts reflect understanding, experience and development. They mark steps in your journey, not the end of it.
Blue
Connect the basics.
Build reliable responses and begin linking techniques.
Purple
Develop your game.
Explore deeper problem solving and an individual style.
Brown
Refine the details.
Improve timing, transitions, control and technical precision.
Black
Keep learning.
Continue developing, teaching and contributing to the team.
EVERY JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT
Progress takes time.
Make it your time.
Moving through the belts takes years. Training frequency, previous experience, age, injuries and life commitments all influence your pace. There is no guaranteed promotion date.
Coach assessment and applicable federation requirements guide promotion. Stripes can mark intermediate progress when used by your instructor. Competition results are not the sole measure of promotion readiness.
