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

Requirement For Each Stripe: 108 Points (Classes)

• 1 Point for each structured Class.
• You lose a point for each week you do not attend a class!
• If you choose to compete, each bracket entered counts as a point.
• You must meet the point requirement before starting the objective requirements.

Why these requirements?

Purple belt is the attacking belt. You worked through white, green and blue belt to learn the foundations and basics via positions. A purple belt must now change their focus to the basics through the end state – submissions.

It is expected that students will continue to train in both Gi and No Gi in order to develop.
