Eight of the art's greatest living masters were
honored by the IBJJF with promotions to some of the most senior ranks
available.
Jiu-jitsu differs from other martial arts in that
ranks are awarded purely by time served - once achieving the black belt a
practitioner will receive degrees (signified by stripes) on his belt.
The color of the belt will change once a black belt
receives seventh degree, at which point they become a red and black belt master
(also known as a "coral" belt). Eighth degree is a red and white
belt.
The list of those promoted is as follows:
7th degree red
and black belt
Jose Henrique Teixeira
Rilion Gracie
Marcio Simas
8th degree
red and white belt
Marcio Stambowsky
Romero 'Jacare' Cavalcanti
Sergio Penha
Mauricio Gomes
It must be noted it takes 31 years upon receiving the
black belt to achieve seventh degree and 38 years to reach eighth degree.
