Belts in BJJ are never given, they are earned through years of showing up and grinding on these mats. Every promotion here is a milestone we celebrate together!

A brown belt in BJJ can take a decade. This moment, 12 years in the making, is what our journey is all about. We celebrate every promotion because we know the discipline and resilience it takes to get there.

Welcome to the gauntlet. It’s a Crosstrain tradition where you walk the line and your teammates celebrate your new belt. It hurts, but it’s a sign of respect for the hard road you’ve traveled.

After three years of consistent hard work, we awarded a well deserved blue belt. This is the first major step in the BJJ journey, and we couldn't be prouder.

A proud moment as another dedicated student earns his blue belt after three years of consistent training and competing. Each belt promotion is a testament to the student's commitment.

"Consistency is the key." This is what we preach. Another student earns his blue belt, a recognition of his dedication and growth on the mats. This is what Crosstrain is all about, building community and celebrating progress.

Two years of dedication, and now a blue belt. This promotion is a huge milestone, marking the transition from beginner to a practitioner with a solid foundation in Jiu-Jitsu.

So proud of our coach Sunil for earning his Purple Belt. He has been a cornerstone of our Noida academy, showing up as both a competitor and a coach. This is a huge step in his BJJ journey.

A huge moment for the club as our head coach, Sid, is promoted to black belt. This represents the pinnacle of the Jiu-Jitsu journey and inspires our entire team to keep grinding.
