Our NEW approach to Belt Testing 📝
There’s so much to learn in Jiu Jitsu! That’s part of what makes it so exciting — but it can also get overwhelming if you try to learn it all at once.
That’s why we break it into programs (Tiny Sharks, Little Sharks, Junior Sharks 1–3). Solid foundation first, then we build on it. It’s how we keep our kids BullyProof.
Belt testing is where that foundation gets checked.
Swipe ➡️ to see how it works:
Once a kid has earned 4 stripes and met the time and attendance requirements for their belt, they’re added to the assessment list.
➡️
In the two weeks before promotions, a coach assesses them during or after class. Each belt has its own assessment.
➡️
If there are a couple things to clean up, no problem — they have time to work on them and reassess before promotion day. Coaches are here to help!
➡️
Each assessment comes straight from the program’s curriculum, and focuses on the most important skills and concepts for that age and level - including a live training assessment.
➡️
Results are emailed to you (the parent) that same day.
➡️
Why we love it: a few minutes of a coach’s full attention, a chance to show how far they’ve come, and a little pressure to rise to.
Kids light up! And we’ve been beyond impressed with how well they’ve done.
We can see already that this is a huge addition to the youth program.
