Royler Gracie Awarded Red and Black Belt Jim Hannan's facebook page has posted the above picture, announcing that Royler Gracie has been awarded his Red and Black belt by his brother Rickson Gracie. The Red and Black belt is awarded when a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu student has reached the 7th degree on his black belt. Degrees on a black belt are awarded for years spent as an instructor and take decades to earn. (more on belt rankings) Royler Gracie is the son of BJJ co-founder Helio Gracie.
