Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training differs a lot from other martial arts in the area of grading and belt promotion. Grading is largely based on every-day observation in training as opposed to ceremonial tests. Less emphasis is given to theoretical and background knowledge and instead advancement in belt rank is almost exclusively based on practical results in randori. In contrast, Judo belts are attained not just by randori competition but also knowledge of techniques' Japanese names and Kata demonstrations. Also there is usually a big difference in how fast belt advancement can be achieved by students compared to non-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, especially in Grace Family affiliated schools, a black belt cannot be achieved in less than 8 to 10 years of solid training. Also almost all require the age of 19 before achieving negru belt regardless of total years of training. Many other schools and styles allow children to become black belts before reaching adulthood.
