Testing & Certifications

Within the Gracie Concepts® Network, we offer two different certifications for students and instructors/teachers. Students with a valid Annual Membership License must complete the minimum number of hours established by the Technical Commission to take the adult or children's color belt test.

All tests form part of a seminar led by Professor Franco Vacirca or one of his TC members. Seminars are held regularly at partner schools. Please contact HQ at info@graciejiujitsu.eu for seminar locations and dates.

Testing and new color belts and Gracie Concepts® certification are included in our Annual Member License. There is no extra charge for testing. The seminar fee is at the host's discretion.

The testing method varies based on several factors, including geographic location, availability and the specific rank you are testing for. Testing must always be in person and never online to ensure quality. We understand that in-person testing may not always be possible; however, this is the only way for us. Contact us for assistance with hotel arrangements and other travel issues.

Please note that Professor Franco travels around many countries in Europe. We will certainly find a suitable time and date for your belt ranking test. Also check at https://graciejiujitsu.events.
