Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Ranking System
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ranking system signifies a practitioner's increasing level of technical knowledge and practical skill within the art. Colored belts worn as part of the uniform are awarded to the practitioner. The ranking system shares its origins with the judo belt-rank system, but the Brazilian system incorporates some minor differences from Judo such as a division between youths and adults and the issuance of stripes and degrees. Some differences have become synonymous with the art, such as a marked informality in promotional criteria, a focus on competitive demonstration of skill, and conservative promotion. History In 1907, Kanō Jigorō, the founder of judo, introduced the use of belts (''obi'') and gi (''judogi'') in the martial arts, replacing the practice of training in formal kimono.
