Q. How much are your testing fees?
A. We never charge for testing. Every student will earn their next rank as their progress accordingly.
Q. How long time takes to get the black belt?
A. Rank advancement in our school is not a commerce. A black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a serious achievement that cannot be bought, only earned, at least in our school. As Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is made by thousands of thousands of techniques that can only be polished with maturity and proper mindset, the minimum age to obtain the black belt is 19 years old. It takes an average of 7 years of training to master the minimum requirements to become a black belt.
Q. What is the highest color belt a child can attain in BJJ?
A. The green belt (up to 15 years old of age). It precedes the blue belt that can only be attained by someone that is at least 16 years old of age. A green belt in BJJ, generally possesses much more knowledge than black belts of the same age in many martial arts styles out there.

Q. Can my 6 years old child take class together with my other 13 years old?
A. No. We are fortunate for being able to structure our classes based on the children's respective physical and mental maturity levels, so they can receive proper instruction based on what they can comprehend and what they can perform. Just like a school would not allow a 3rd grader to attend the same classroom of a 7th grader. Families are welcome to participate together on our open mat sessions during the weekend.
Q. Do I have to spar?
A. Absolutely not! We have Novice only classes and self-defense drills-only class at out Basic Training sessions. Sparring with submission holds are typically only available for students that reach a few stripes on the white belt. All students at that level and higher, spar each other in a friendly manner and most of the times it is done in a slow pace gear so the learning aspect is much more emphasized rather than merely trying to win.
