Beyond blue belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsuconsists of hundreds of advanced techniques, all of which have been organized into a clearly defined, systematic curriculum called the Master Cycle®. The Master Cycle is broken down into three levels: purple belt, brown belt, and black belt. Advancement within each belt level requires successful completion of four stripe courses, each of which features 50-60 lessons which are divided into seven positional chapters. On this DVD, Ryron and Rener explain the entire Blue Belt Stripe 1 testing process and they demonstrate all 160 techniques that must be perfected for promotion consideration.

The Six Drills
The Blue Belt Stripe 1, Official Test consists of six drills, three Technical Drills and three full-resistance Sparring Drills. On this DVD, Ryron and Rener Gracie discuss the parameters of each drill as well as demonstrate all 160 techniques in the exact order that will be expected of you. The brothers also explain the grading criteria that will be used to grade your performance.

@whyhategetadayjob I myself went to a live school. I stopped training for quite some time & started going to Gracie university & it by all means is possible but i think the word "harsh" is a understatement,the Gracie standard is by-far a high standard to say the least BUT IMO the Gracie Academy sets the bar. I mean this is the last school that Helio Gracie was active at,so trust me when I say their is NO shortcuts in these courses, they have a huge if not the hugest reputation for hard grading.

[Roortoker420]

Depends. Avg maybe 1 to 2 yrs. Basically comes down to how frequently your teacher is doing tests/promotions

[chez117]

How long does it take to acquire a blue belt?

[sdboatpainter]
