White Belt?

Hi, I was looking on the store and see that you can buy 10th Planet white belt patch. I can't find any info anywhere and as I'm still new to the system wondered if it was an actual belt you graded for? Or wether it's a way of describing someone who is training towards a blue belt?

If anyone could help that would be great.

Oh and also I've heard that it is (or has been in the past) possible to grade online? Is this true and if it is how does that work?

Thanks

Chris

how would you keep your gi closed if they dont at least give you a white belt? :)

Hi Chris,

Everyone starts as a white belt without the need for grading. Different associations grade and promote differently so ask your instructor how he/she grades & promotes.

In terms of online testing for 10th Planet check this link out (thanks to Herb for posting it on another thread) http://www.10thplanetjj.com/threads/...e+belt+testing

Brilliant, thanks for the info guys. I'll have a look at doing it online :)

if that link didn't work,
