For students moving from other gyms:

Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Pedro Sauer Association is renowned for upholding very high standards and as such students moving from another gym (especially those wearing coloured belts) will have to meet the requirements of the PSBJJA before being allowed to wear our uniform with that belt.

Casual visits are welcomed and you can wear whatever uniform you wish and your belt.

If you wish to become a member of our association and wear our uniform you’ll have to sit the tests for each belt level before wearing the belt and uniform.

We’ve had issues in the past with students wearing their coloured belt then expecting to get graded and promoted when they haven’t yet earned their current grade - so we’ve had to implement this to preserve the quality of the ranks in our school.

The curriculum for each grade is easily available to be studied and assessed
