How does the ranking for 10thplanetjj kids work??

[nathan cybul]

Other schools like Gracie Barra and Alliance have other color belts.. Us?

[Kim Ferguson]

We do the same as most BJJ schools...yellow, orange, green, blue...blue is like adult blue so, must be 16 to earn that. You can give out belts and do stripes or ...I do patches and T-shirts There seems to be a cross over more with kids ranks to no gi like: white is beginner, yellow intermediate and orange and green advanced so be aware how you rank eps. for the kids that compete. right now the highest ranking kid is either Tory Davila or Julian Garcia as far as I know.
You guys got some rug rats training?
If you have any more questions regarding kids stuff let me know
Thanks
Kim

Our kids classes are in the gi and we use a belt system similar to Gracie Barra but with only 4 stripes per belt.

[Kurzy]

Four stripes per belt? As in White with 4 sripes, Yellow with 4 stripes, etc?
Seems like a lot of stripes to me, but I have a different background.

some of the 10p chicago kids are real MONSTERS, they scary I coudln't imagine competing against them at that age!!!

i just have two kids! super cute and super tough, but i was wondering how to manage the ranking situation with them. I also thought about trainning them with the GI like mr.Tim but i really dont like and dont know about the gi so it would be unfair to the youngsters

Nathan, just to be clear Hotbox Leaders cannot rank others, only the affiliate instructors can rank their students. However with your recomendation your sponsor instructor could evaluate your student and rank them.
