Hey I'm under 16, so I've heard that no matter how well I do I can't get a blue belt til then. I currently hold an orange belt so I want to know if there's anyway I can get a blue belt before I'm 16.
 
when i first got my blue when i was 19, i faced an orange belt who was 14. SHIT he was tough. i won though... he's awesome and beat blues before too. now he's 16, blue belt and pan am champ 07 juvenile.
 
I like how BJJ has to wait for certain belts. I just coached at a kids camp last week and we had a 10 year Tae Kwon Do BLACK BELT. 10 years old, what's up with that. I have talked to other TKD guys and they have gotten their belts in little time. I'm just a white belt, but it seems like in BJJ, with the wait, you actually earn it.
 
im a bjj orange belt at 14 years of age soon to be 15, Why do you want to get it before? It doesnt really matter, just try to get to green and when the time comes when your 16 youll get your appropriate rank.

Good answer from such a young buck
 
One school I know of which will remain nameless although it is a very good acadamy with VERY legit guys, uses belt colors all the way to black (except the belts have a white stripe length wise down the middle) for the kids then when they turn 16 everything above green gets an adult blue belt. I think they use 8 kids belts:
white
yellow
orange
green
blue
purple
brown
black
 
It doesn't really matter much. When you're a high level green, then complain that you've got nowhere to go. Otherwise, who cares?

No kidding dude, get your green first. Really, I would think that the green belt has got to be one of the hardest belts to get. It's hard to be good enough to earn a green before you turn 16.
 
Yeah I've never seen a green belt, and in fact I don't think I've even heard of a green belt. Most people just turn 16 well before green belt.
 
I think the age thing is a little weird. There is a 14 year old girl at my gym who is a green belt. She's a 110 lbs ass-stomping machine. She's been training for close to 4 years I think. By the time she's old enough to get a blue belt she'll be purple belt level easy I'm sure.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot about the green. Well I'm 13 so I guess I have 3 years to get my green, so I'll go for it.

Where I train, which is at a well respected camp, they give green belts to adults. I think it is to keep people interested and distunguish between the new (under 18 month) white belts and the been around for a while white belts. It's a bit cheesy/gay but it is what the head instructor wants so . . .

Every once in a while after a tourney win (pan ams, mundials, NAGA absoltue etc) there have been stripes given to some of the colored belts but otherwise no stripes.
