Scandinavian BJJ belt grades: this list is by no means complete and exhaustive, they were compiled with the help of all the academies I trained at throughout my trip; there were many clubs I did not have time to visit and upgrades occur all the time, but I hope this list provides readers with an overview of the size and scale of BJJ within Scandinavia chances are, should you step into foreign competition, that you'll find yourself on the mats with any number of grapplers in the list below: good luck!
