The Gracie Jiu-Jitsu belt system was developed to
reward students who follow and practice Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The different
levels represented by colors recognize the gradual development of
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a person. The various ranks of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
are conferred on students upon attainment of knowledge and through
performance, as evidenced through many areas of the student's life.
These include technical knowledge, training frequency, ability to
perform techniques under resistance, positive attitude, and overall
conduct. Below is a list of all ranked Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
active practitioners recognized by Helio Gracie's Professors
Pedro and Guilherme Valente. Professor Pedro Valente has been teaching
in South Florida for over ten years. It is important to note that
a belt, even the black, does not entitle a practitioner to teach.
