Overview<\/h2>\n

\n The Black Belt Register helps assure the public that black belt grades claimed by\n ju-jitsu practitioners in New Zealand are valid and reasonable.\n <\/p>\n

\n NZJJF verification follows a two-step process. First, the validity of grading\n certificates is confirmed with the examiner named on the certificate. Time between\n grades and total experience are then assessed against internationally recognised\n standards.\n <\/p>\n

\n As a guide, NZJJF accepts a minimum of four years to 1st degree and then the number\n of the new grade in years since the last grade (for example: 2 years to 2nd degree,\n 3 years to 3rd degree).\n <\/p>\n

\n Black belts from member clubs may apply to have their grades recognised by NZJJF and\n entered on the Black Belt Register.\n <\/p>\n <\/article>\n\n
