Sixteen-year-old Prince Jackson, Michael’s eldest son, has received a blue belt in the martial art of Jiu-Jitsu from one of the most famous martial arts schools in the world, Gracie Academy, based in Beverly Hills. Sources at Gracie Academy, which is based in Beverly Hills, say that the Jiu-Jitsu belt hierarchy is summarized into five belts, and the blue belt is the second rank after the white belt. Passing through the ranks takes a very long time. Prince now has the colors purple and brown on his path toward the black belt.

To receive a blue belt, students must learn 34 different martial arts moves (arm bar - elevator sweep - guillotine with four different techniques). To reach the purple belt, 600 more moves are placed on their path.

Gracie Academy has been managed generation after generation since 1925 by members of the Gracie family, who are considered the royal family of Jiu-Jitsu. The academy says that Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective self-defense technique in the world.

Jiu-Jitsu, Jiujitsu, or Jiu-Jitsu (Jiu-Jitsu), is one of the martial arts that emphasizes fighting at close range against an armed or unarmed opponent. The moves of this sport include striking, grabbing, throwing, and applying pressure to an opponent’s joints. Some of the moves are deadly and dangerous.

At the ceremony for receiving the Jiu-Jitsu belt, it is customary for other martial artists to welcome the person who has entered a higher rank in this martial art by hitting their belts against their body. As you can see in the photo above, Prince was not left out of this tradition.
