Before testing an individual for a belt, I first put a length of time I want them training and absorbing information with consistency.

• 1 Point for each structured Gi Class.

Why these requirements?

Green belt is just the extension of white belt, but now with all the considerations that come with wearing a Gi. Now everything is a weapon – the game changes a bit. However, fundamentally, everything you learned in white belt will transfer over.

Here at Mathematical Jiu-Jitsu we separate Gi from No-Gi at the beginner level to prevent over-reliance on things that are not always available (Gi) to best prepare our students for success.
