For judo it does and BJJ too. Boxing, Muay Thai it doesn’t. Wrestling isn’t awarded belts either

MMA itself, no. However, arts such as BJJ have grading systems.

I know of some MMA camps that use a grading system for the entire compilation of MMA, not separate arts like bjj. This helps motivate the students. THe typical prices for MMA schools are anywhere from 80$- 250$ a month. Its according to what your tring to do there. Are you going to take one of their arts? Take all? be one of their fighters? Be on their supplement programs? its gets expensive. If you cant afford it , try a traditional system like Wing chun, choy li fut, or southen mantis, or perhaps kyokushin.

typically there is no belt system in a strictly MMA school. If you are looking for belts then you might want to think about a traditional martial art like BJJ, TKD, or karate.

Different schools have different prices. I wouldn’t pay more than $80-$100
