Program Ranks
At Renzo Gracie Ponce, we follow the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation's (IBJJF) ranking system for our Kids Jiu-Jitsu Program. All children begin at the white belt level and will progress through the ranks based on their class attendance, consistency, behavior, and most importantly, their development of grappling skills.
This structured system ensures that each child is recognized and promoted fairly, providing them with a clear path for growth and achievement both on and off the mats.
