After grey in kids’ Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the next belt is usually yellow —specifically the yellow belt progression comes after the grey belt family in most kids systems.

Typical kids belt order

A common kids order is:

  • White
  • Grey/white
  • Solid grey
  • Grey/black
  • Yellow/white
  • Solid yellow
  • Yellow/black
  • Orange/white
  • Solid orange
  • Orange/black
  • Green/white
  • Solid green
  • Green/black

Important note

Different academies can vary a little, but if your child is on a standard IBJJF-style path, yellow comes after the grey belts.

Simple version

  • If they are at solid grey , the next step is grey/black.
  • If they mean the grey belt group overall , the next color after grey is yellow.
