Thank you for this awesome content!! I am not a BJJ fighter myself but I got my 6yr old started and he just got awarded his first stripe on his white belt. The coaches assembled the entire team (including the grown-ups), had him step forward, put the stripe on his belt, and everyone applauded. Man, he was proud like a real trooper.
Yeah the details of this should be honored too .it like the art is about perfection so should the belt be.it looks very neat and asteticly balanced that's probly why it was done that way.
Awesome video detailing, how the exact measurements ought to be, between the differential dan stripes, on a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt. It is also great to see that you have backed it up, with verifiable, as well as unquestionable academic, referential proof from the actual belt manual! With all due respect I just saw a video of ISAMI belt makers in Japan, thus bringing me onto your video link as a suggestion. Have you ever thought of getting a fully embroidered belt with the dans and so forth? I ask as it seems like typically in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, from what I have noticed, the dans are put on personally and manually by the instructors themselves, as you have just demonstrated? Excellent video explanation by the way, Osu! 👍 ☺ ✌
Excellent video brotha! Those borders look thick. I've always used 1/2" for borders and 1/4" for the degrees with 1/4" spacing in-between them. Personally, I think it looks cleaner. I also have the degrees starting from the bottom of belt working their way upwards. Thank you for sharing this video!
If you really think about it you can see how they ended up with 4.3mm for the gaps. The border is 10cm, each professor's bar 2cm and each stripe 5mm. If you space out six bars evenly you'll end up with gaps of 4.3mm (10cm - 2x2cm - 6x0.5cm = 3cm ➜ 3cm/7 = 0.42857... cm).
I remember in the book it says a black belt with a white bar is a black belt student/ non teacher, black belt red bar is for black belt teachers. I think I also saw a video of Grandmaster Helio talking about it?
So I was curious, is it acceptable to get your stripes embroidered or sew into your belt? I feel like this a more permanent way and professional way to get your stripes added onto your belt and won't wear or come off like electrical tape will., almost akin to getting your rank sewn on when you get promoted in the military or add services strips to your uniform sleeve.
@@MilkyCamps also got my answer from the Professor before and he said it's alright actually looks better in the long run, especially if I wash my belt all the time which I do.
@@StrainXv it's not about looking "better" look at old black belts that still wear their belts that are literally falling apart. It shows the work and dedication. Worn belts in BJJ with the stripes falling off shows dedication and hard work

the fact that Relson is the one giving you stripes is just awesome. I've just recently gone down the rabbit hole of learning about BJJ and GJJ. Just wish I had the time and money to actually get into it.
Should you have 2 belts? One for when teaching, it would maintain a very aesthetic appeal; very little wear and tear. One for teaching, it gets beat up, washed etc.
Depends on what you consider rewritten and what federation you adhere to. I believe there are 5 of them now if you count the Jiu-Jitsu Global Federation. This was the 1st and original federation formed to create the rules and standards for modern competition and created the modern belt system.
The Counselor it looks like it was rewritten but it left out details on spacing each grade. See ibjjf.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/20150210_GraduationIBJJF_EN_vs2.pdf
Idea from an non-jiu-jitsu guy....wouldnt it be nice if there would be a tape "ready to use" ? So if you change your master degree you only need to buy a new already prepared tape and stick it on your belt...mhhh maybe its a gap in the market ;)
i heard ot few times in my first and second club, 9/10 said that weak person like 5 years experience at 1 year level... belt - to achieve goals? to keep progress? keep motivation? so that other blue know you are blue and train together without destroying someone brown training?

Can you please scan and upload that book somewhere?!
That is a magnificent beard
Nat3o Dooog thanks!

That little extra nub on the first stripe is driving me insane.
Might you please provide a copy or link to this handbook?

How can I get a copy of that sir

Thank you for taking the time to research and explain
i cant find this handbook anywhere and I really would like a printed copy
What are the size requirements of the stripes? Post in the description
Is there an online pdf of that old booklet?
Can't find it anywhere, people called it s fake book in a forum
you don't put stripes horizontally?
I came back to this video after some time and I really like the way your original belt looked. just my opinion

thats weird dont do that. lol
@@MilkyCamps Well is it really? because in Japanese Jujitsu and Judo they get stripes sewn on.
@@StrainXv yes really it's weird and never in my life have I heard someone doing that. You will 100% be roasted for that lol

I like the way it’s supposed to look
So the professor bars should be 2cm or 3/4 of an inch??
Thanks for this video. We are doing at home training. And I know there had to be some kind of standard. Thanks so much.
May you please post this handbook as a pdf somewhere, or just post some pictures of the belt site’s?
Maybe for purple and brown 😆
Do the stripes/bar go down by the right leg or does it go by the left leg when it's tied?
It depends on the school.
Is this the same for coloured belts?
Best tape brand please ???

Yeah the membership prices in the USA are a bit too much from what I hear. In Europe it's usually between 20 and 50 euro a month.
Never heard those two excuses before.
Is there a standard in the handbook for the other belts?
Daniel Russell Yes there is. I'm trying to figure out how to post the pictures.
Do you have a digital copy or just hard copy? Would you send me this if you have digital?
Should you have 2 belts? One for when teaching, it would maintain a very aesthetic appeal; very little wear and tear. One for teaching, it gets beat up, washed etc.
Thanks for the video!
That’s interesting. I’ve never seen professor bars that thick before and stripes/degrees that thin.
I like the border to be as the one on your belt but with thinner stripes than yours.
aesthetically I like your belt better
Andrew gedman what book is that?i would like to get one
Awesome info
Start 2:10, thank me later.
i have stripes in my underwear does that count?
What astounds me is that u actually understand metric system! Not many ppl from the USA do, hahahaa.
I have a video on my channel on how to sew stripes on with a sewing machine.
The IBJJF website has all the measurements for stripes and bars.
1:38 left of his head
I don't get it.
Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy it looks like a ghost
Saw that
nice video
why the hell am i watching this im a white belt
Someday, if you don't quit, you will be a black belt!
Fugi? Over Attama....or any other ? im glad you got sponcers sir, respect, but...i know I can't ask for real opinion
Fugi's are great for the price. I'd rather ROKN but this GI only exists in Brazil for now.
Terrible. Too big. Hasn't that book been rewritten yet?

Make sure you are reading this correctly
Really there shouldn't be stripes. There is white belt. Blue belt and Dark blue belt.
lol the American had to learn what a cm is
Thank God I only like nogi
¡Viva La 1967! Apparently clunky and unattractive was in.
Why even have a belt or stripes? Just train!!!
i heard ot few times in my first and second club, 9/10 said that weak person like 5 years experience at 1 year level... belt - to achieve goals? to keep progress? keep motivation? so that other blue know you are blue and train together without destroying someone brown training?
First view
Wow 6 mins to show how to put tape on a belt 😂
