@em729 Renzo is “presenting” the belt to Carlos on behalf of Gracie Barra, CBJJ, & the IBJJF (all founded and run by Carlos) and not actually “awarding” it to him. He’s done a lot for BJJ and has trained since the 1960’s and definitely deserves the rank.
Funny thing is, that all of Carlos' older brothers are higher ranked, including Carlos Robson (Renzo's dad) & Reyson, who are both 9th dans, & of course his uncle Helio at 10th dan, yet he promoted himself instead of receiving rank from them.
@vboytan Carlos is a 7th degree and Renzo is a 6th degree. I believe at that time Renzo was still a 5th degree and was promoted to 6th a few months later. Also if I'm correct Renzo's older brother Charles should be getting his 7th degree sometime this year. He's been a 6th degree for about 7 or 8 years now, so he should be eligible to receive it now.
@BrianDK96 of course there are degree's in jiu-jitsu some dojos now a days dont give stripes but they should, you can have up to 4 stripes on each belts up until black, the black belt goes up to the 10th degree red belt (reserved for original creators, carlos sr, helio, gastao jr, oswaldo,) then there are 9th degree red belts, (carlson, francisco mansur, renato paquet, rickson, royce, carlso jr etc.) If you get your black belt at 19 the youngest you can get your red is at 67 years old.
@carlsongracieteam Your right for the most part, except that neither Rickson, Royce, or Carlos Gracie, Jr. are 9th degree red belts. Rickson is an 8th degree red and black belt, and both Royce and Carlos are 7th degree red and black belts. Also generally yes you do have to be at least 67 to get your 9th dan red belt, however, Rorion is only 58 and has been a 9th dan for several years. The IBJJF may not recognize his rank, but he did get it from Helio, who IMHO was the highest authority on rank.
@barrettokarate rorion was given his red because helio knew he was going to die, and wanted to be the one to give his oldest son his red belt but rorion got his way to young ans sorry your right rickson, royce and carlos jr are only red and black belts 7th & 8th degree but they will be 9 th degree within the next 15 years.
@carlsongracieteam True, Rickson and Carlos Jr. will eventually get their 9th dan red belts and deservedly so, but not Royce. He recently did an interview, where he said that now that Helio is gone, he will never accept another promotion above 7th dan. Royce doesn’t even wear his black belt or stripes anymore, he now wears a midnight blue belt in honor of Helio. Recently he did a seminar at the Gracie Academy and was wearing the midnight blue belt. Cool show of respect and love for his dad.
@carlsongracieteam After reading your comment about Rorion getting his red belt too soon, I realized that they did the same speedy promotions with Ryron and Rener. Both of them received their black belts in 2002 and by around 2007, they were both up to 5th and 4th degree (their present ranks). They're almost the same rank as their uncles and older cousins. Ralek’s promotions on the other hand are much slower. He got his black belt in 2007 and just barely got his first stripe this year.
@barrettokarate yeah right before helio died, he decided to slap on about 3-4 stripes on each of their belts, helio never got the chance to do it with ralek, he got his black belt after helio was gone. rorion went from 6th degree to 9th degree in one year. rener should be 2 degree, and ryron should be the same.
@carlsongracieteam I would love to know what the other members of the Gracie family really think of Rorion, Ryron, and Rener's promotions. Unfortunately even with some of their personal quarrels, I doubt that most if any of them would speak on the matter. I think that the only one who would say anything if he was still alive would the late great Carlson Gracie. In all the interviews of him I've read, he seemed to always tell it like it is.
@barrettokarate yes i had the honor of training under carlson sr. for 2 years at his main academy in chicago, he alway told it like it is and he didn't like, rorion, rener, ryron much. he hated how americanized they made bjj when they started making websites and making it so u could get a belt in the mail. rip master carlson, he was about the most legit 9th degree you could get. he didnt get it til he was nearly around 70 yrs old.
When it comes to Red Belts, I don't know how that works. But you can't give higher and or equal to your belt. If you train under a blackbelt, you can get a four strip brown, but until they go to a black with 1 strip, they aren't allowed to promote you. At least that's the way I've been told, and that comes from Rey. I think a lot of those people, the Black belts with the degree's etc. They stop caring about it. I know a forth degree Black he doesn't care to ever go up.
@joeyp978 I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Renzo is a 7th degree black belt (he just doesn't have the stripes on the belt), and Carlos Gracie Jr I believe is now a 7th as well - again i'm no bjj master to tell all the high ranks in order, this is just what i've been told
"While you are the nail hanging there, let them hit you, until the day you become the Hammer so then you, smashed them back" - Renzo Gracie
To me & to others this is so true, cause even me a beginner in Gracie Jiu Jitsu gets beat and beaten by others, I too can one day beat them, but I give much respect to all jiu jitsu students & Instructors around the Globe.
depending on the school. Your black belt can "Upgrade" of course there are black belt "degrees" which represents your time as a black belt, but in some schools colors are added to the black belt to denote ultimate achievements like a red stripe for "Master teacher" and a white stripe for "Master fighter" There is also a solid red belt which denotes grand master.
@lilcaldwell101 there is no such thing as a coral belt. For kids under 16 it goes: White, Orange, Green. After sixteen it goes like: White, Blue, Purple(After 18 or so i think), Brown, Black. There are 10 degrees after the black belt i think, 10 is full red only Helio Gracie had it or Rickson have it im not sure. So i think Red and Black is when you turn 5th degree or something
@asdfero yeah pretty much right but actually kids under 16 go : white, yellow, oarnge, green. then men have 16-17: blue, purple 18+:brown, black, red/black, red belt ( grand master) 9th degree.. there will never be another 10th degree there are 2 Helio and carlos gracie sr. the rest of the grandmasters only go up to 9. like francisco mansur
Carlinhos is a legend in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, having produced some of the finest BJJ black belts in history. Awesome to see such a personal moment that very few who train will ever attain: the red and black belt. Great to see him recognized for his contributions to the art
TO ALL MY BJJ GUYS I TOLD THIS GUY Blacktaoist There is a gracie brazilian jujiusu school 224 w 30th street 8th ave why don't you go up against them since you don't think it will work in the Street read what he said he wants to spar with me and not gracies.
That nice. But I'm not interested. But if you that interested in free fighting me you or anyone from your school. I teach baguazhang at 1950 3rd ave /107th street 3rd floor I am there from
if you are bluebelt in bjj for example under Alliance and got your belt from Fabio then I can assure you, you are way better fighter then any krav maga guy.
Krav maga is a joke. taking guns away or knifes.
The reality of the sitsuation is nobody who is going to hurt you with a gun or knife will not be showing it to you instead he they will try to shoot from a range or stab from behind.
The scenarios are stupid and if you want to learn kickboxing that they train there then go for real Muay Thai
I had to laugh at it to these guys talk so much about BJJ but don't want go face of against them you want to laugh some youtube 52 Blocks with Sensei Mo
first of all gracie barra in chicago sucks ass carlson gracie we are the best to get promoted for belts you have to fight like the rank u wish to have and win tournaments.
You have to stay at each black belt rank for 3 yrs up until 5th degree then it's every 5 yrs. By the time you get 2nd degree black you've been black for almost 10 yrs. I got my black belt in 8 yrs to the week training 5-7 days a week.
ten to 15 years? on average a person gets there black belt in 10 years if they stay faithful and dedicated, a red&black is anywhere from a 7th to 9th degree black belt, my guess is hes been doing jiu jitsu since he was a child so probably about 35-40 years
10 years for a BJJ black-belt in average? In what country do you live in? Here in Brazil it is around 7 years. Of course, if you started very young you won't be able to get the BB due to age constraints, but for adults I would not put it beyond 7 years... Dedicated and talented people could reach BB in almost half this time.
yeah man, thats brazil though, in america you can either train for 10 years to be sure you are black belt ready, or belong to one of those fuckhead gyms that throws a blackbelt at just about anyone. but i believe in brazil it would take 7 years or so but thats because brazilians probably start it much younger, im 24, been doing rickson gracie jj for 2 years and just got my blue belt...
Rickson is very tough when it comes to giving black-belts!!! He is known for only awarding really great practitioners, after all, if you get it from him, you are a Rickson's Gracie black-belt!!! Good luck my friend, you'll need it along with much, much dedication! But it will be worth all the effort, believe me.
i've heard, i always thought you had to be a black belt in order to run a school,thats what my old teacher cassio werneck tought me (you should youtube him,hes pretty badass) but my rickson gracie teacher branden hetzler is only a brown belt and he runs the school here in sacramento,he said its taken him 8 years to get his brown and rickson told him he will be 1 of very few to get his black in under 10 years, i guess there are only 7 rickson black belts out there
so u turned 16 today because in your oher post u said I am currently a purple belt and have been training for 3 years already but i cant be upgraded higher due to the fact that im 15. and i was saying that the purple belt was bullshit because u can recieve a purple belt as a child
I'm curious about something and hopefully those of you affiliated with Gracie Barra can help.
Carlos Jr has 2 older brothers who are 8th dans and and 3 (living) older brothers who are 9th dans. One of those 9th dans is Carlos Robson Gracie, Renzo's father and technically (with the passing of Carlson Sr. RIP) the patriarch of their side of the family.
How come none of them got to present Carlos with his 7th dan? Is there a rift between them? Will he not except rankings from them? Anybody know?
hes right though, jiu jitsu is incredibly good therapy, I've got more out of bjj as a source of therapy than months of therapy with A freudian psychoanalist
I've been out of MMA for a long time and WTF happened to Renzo, he's got a belly??? he was soo skinny and in shape back in the early 90's. Did he stop fighting/training?
The 10th degree red belt is limited to the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Carlos, Oswaldo, George, Gastão and Hélio Gracie, also known as the Gracie Brothers.
Actually your half wrong and half right. True only the original 5 Gracie brothers will ever hold the rank of 10th dan.
However red belts will still be given out in BJJ. Red belts in BJJ are for both 9th and 10th dan.
If yo look up pictures of Carlson Gracie Sr. (RIP), Robson Gracie, Reyson Gracie, Reylson Gracie, Rorian Gracie, Relson Gracie, etc. you'll see them wearing red belts. They are all 9th dans.
i hope Renzo never told-them or show them the Taparia....lol, Big Time with hes Brother , whos rest in peace Rian Grace Pit-bull He the one whos like the Taparia on tatame
This is something I never realized before until watching this video. Renzo says that he received his black belt from Carlos Jr. even though Renzo's own father Robson is a much more very high ranking black belt himself (9th dan). Why did Renzo get his black belt from his uncle instead of his father? Did any of Robson's other sons receive their bb from other family members other than him?
well if ur under 16 then its white-yellow-orange-green then u turn 16 and wen they give it to u then its blue-purple-brown-black-red&black-red and then u earn ur degrees but to get ur black belt u must atleast be 19 i study jiu jitsu and i looked it up on wikipedia
he is giving it on behalf of gracie barra.. and for bjj the belts go white-blue-purple-brown-black-black/red-red... you cannot get your blue before 16 and you cannot get your purple before 18

ten to 15 years? on average a person gets there black belt in 10 years if they stay faithful and dedicated, a red&black is anywhere from a 7th to 9th degree black belt, my guess is hes been doing jiu jitsu since he was a child so probably about 35-40 years

10 years for a BJJ black-belt in average? In what country do you live in? Here in Brazil it is around 7 years. Of course, if you started very young you won't be able to get the BB due to age constraints, but for adults I would not put it beyond 7 years... Dedicated and talented people could reach BB in almost half this time.

yeah man, thats brazil though, in america you can either train for 10 years to be sure you are black belt ready, or belong to one of those fuckhead gyms that throws a blackbelt at just about anyone. but i believe in brazil it would take 7 years or so but thats because brazilians probably start it much younger, im 24, been doing rickson gracie jj for 2 years and just got my blue belt...

Rickson is very tough when it comes to giving black-belts!!! He is known for only awarding really great practitioners, after all, if you get it from him, you are a Rickson's Gracie black-belt!!! Good luck my friend, you'll need it along with much, much dedication! But it will be worth all the effort, believe me.

i've heard, i always thought you had to be a black belt in order to run a school,thats what my old teacher cassio werneck tought me (you should youtube him,hes pretty badass) but my rickson gracie teacher branden hetzler is only a brown belt and he runs the school here in sacramento,he said its taken him 8 years to get his brown and rickson told him he will be 1 of very few to get his black in under 10 years, i guess there are only 7 rickson black belts out there
ordaboy 2 years ago
I think its more like 8 years. about two years per belt if you train faithfully

Gracie black belt is still the most sought after BJJ belt out there.
Too many hacks out there who just give away black belts because of financial reasons.

I'm curious about something and hopefully those of you affiliated with Gracie Barra can help.
Carlos Jr has 2 older brothers who are 8th dans and and 3 (living) older brothers who are 9th dans. One of those 9th dans is Carlos Robson Gracie, Renzo's father and technically (with the passing of Carlson Sr. RIP) the patriarch of their side of the family.
How come none of them got to present Carlos with his 7th dan? Is there a rift between them? Will he not except rankings from them? Anybody know?

This might've been when he had injured his leg and was out of training for like a year. Either way, he's still coaching and teaching.

A black belt is nothing more than a belt that goes around your waist. Being a black belt is a state of mind and attitude.

Red belts will never be given out.
The 10th degree red belt is limited to the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Carlos, Oswaldo, George, Gastão and Hélio Gracie, also known as the Gracie Brothers.
MongooseTrianglez 2 years ago
Actually your half wrong and half right. True only the original 5 Gracie brothers will ever hold the rank of 10th dan.
However red belts will still be given out in BJJ. Red belts in BJJ are for both 9th and 10th dan.
If yo look up pictures of Carlson Gracie Sr. (RIP), Robson Gracie, Reyson Gracie, Reylson Gracie, Rorian Gracie, Relson Gracie, etc. you'll see them wearing red belts. They are all 9th dans.

This is something I never realized before until watching this video. Renzo says that he received his black belt from Carlos Jr. even though Renzo's own father Robson is a much more very high ranking black belt himself (9th dan). Why did Renzo get his black belt from his uncle instead of his father? Did any of Robson's other sons receive their bb from other family members other than him?
