Belts are also split into degrees or “stripes.” Every belt except black has up to four stripes, though we should note that these are not always awarded consistently.
Black belts have ten degrees. Most are awarded based on minimum time requirements. At the higher degrees, the belt changes to red-and-white, red-and-black, and ultimately just red.
The IBJJF has extended the kids system by adding the grey belt, and adding two variations on each rank (like “yellow/white” and “yellow/black”), as well as new red and yellow stripes. The full kids’ system is explained here: What are the BJJ belt ranks for children?
