Modern
Belting System
Although a belt ranking system is not a traditional part
of Ju-Jitsu, Red Dragon Ju-Jitsu has adopted a modern belting system
to allow students to demonstrate achievement in the art. Students
will be advanced from 10th Kyu to 1st Kyu (White belt through
Brown belt), as they master the requirements for each belt rank. Shown
below are the rank requirements through Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt).
