Are you very much into martial arts? If so, or if you have ever heard of the term martial arts, you have probably heard of things like karate and judo. But, I would guess, most likely you have also heard of what is called jiu-jitsu. If you have heard of martial arts, you probably also know that there are different rankings, in them - rankings that you get in the form of a belt. One color, of the belt, represents one skill-level and another color another skill level. In this article, I am going to talk about the different brazilian jiu jitsu belts. In other words, the belts that exist in the brazilian form of jiu jitsu. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to read the article, and hope that you do get some good value from it. Let's get right into the brazilian jiu jitsu belts content.

Hopefully this brazilian jiu jitsu belts guide has given something.

First, of the belts, comes the white belt - which is also true in karate; and possibly also in judo, although I'm not sure. This is the first one you get, and you will have it without having done anything whatsoever to earn it. Certain people say that, rather than getting into the really offensive tactics, as a white-belt you should focus on things like how to avoid getting hit, and similar things to that -- in other words, getting knowledge about how to defend yourself, at first, rather than how to attack. The next one is the blue-belt. With this one, as might not be expected - as it's "only" the second belt - you need to know alot about the sport, and you need to have spent 100s of mat-hours. To get the third belt, the purple-belt, you need to have practised for four to five years, to get it (at least that is an estimate of the time required to get this one). The brown-belt will take another year, or so. At this point, you are about to step into the elite-class of the sport. The black-belt is known, in not only this sport, as the real elite-belt. At this point, the person who gets it might have practised the sport for 10-years. However, even this can be improved on - with the red-belt that a 8-degree black-belt is exchanged for.
