Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Sophia turns nine later this summer.
She has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about a year.
This past year she earning four stripes on her white belt.
Today, in her Jinho academy belt ceremony, she was awarded / she earned her grey belt.
I have to get a better photo of her with her grey belt. The photos below show her with her "old" white belt around her neck.
Of the 21 (?) students in the "belt ceremony" photo, approximately 15 earned a new stripe for their white belt. The remaining six were promoted from white belts to grey belts.
Sophia is engaged in numerous after-school and summer activities -- to include sailing. Her favorite activity is jiu-jitsu. She says she lives and breathes jiu-jitsu. LOL.

Mark Zuckerberg
It appears in the photo at the linked article Mark Zuckerberg is also a "grey belt."
One can barely see his belt but his opponent clearly has a grey belt, and opponents are "always" same belt / same level of skill.
Mark also has a "green-yellow" belt which is worn by the victor following a match. The winner does not keep the belt; just long enough for the photo op.
Tournaments: based on weight class, gender, and skill level. Not age.
Actors in action movies often take Brazilian jiu-jitso to "learn how to fall."
