Junior Grades

Junior grades are divided into 18 Mons with 1st Mon being the lowest. The Mons are divided into groups of 3 with a change in belt colour every 3rd Mon. The Mons are indicated by the number of “tabs” on the belt. A Player who has not yet received their BJA license will wear a plain white belt.
