I hold dan rank in another style.

If you hold dan rank in another style, we very much respect that, but we need you to be familiar with our curriculum; this has been the policy since Ju-Jitsu Dojo of Columbia was founded in 1990. A number of individuals who hold rank in other styles (including dan ranks and a menkyo kaiden) have trained with us and earned dan rank.
