You mean, a style that has no ranks?

The closest you will probably find is BJJ, where the ranks are more akin to a competition ranking.

That varies more by school than style. My BJJ instructor doesn't charge for tests/ranks.

Thanks for the intel.

I had always wondered what Jiu-Jitsu was all about, ever since hearing it mentioned in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE™ by the FRANK SINATRA character.

Yes, that was neat seeing Frank Sinatra doing it! Most unexpected given the year.

I never saw the remake. Does anyone know if Denzel Washington had a similar scene?

You might also look up the US Ju-jitsu Federation. They have listings for most states.
