Generally, in Jiu-Jitsu, only one
person ever receives a new belt or a stripe on any given day. The
only exception to this was back in early March, when three stripes
were awarded on one evening.
Tonight, four stripes were given out.
Three people received their first, and Scott picked up his second.
We now have 3 Blue Belts without
stripes, 5 with one stripe, and 2 with two.
Having a stripe on a Gracie Blue Belt
is about the equivalent of receiving a Brown Belt in an art like
Karate. Having two stripes is just a tad short of being equivalent to
a Karate Black Belt.
These promotions are a very big deal.
