I've laid out what I believe any purple belt should be able to do, regardless of what the actual belt is around your waist. This is what I look at in a blue belt to see if they're ready for a purple belt.

Just got my purple belt. Thought my coach must've been high when he decided to promote me, lol. But this video makes me feel like I might actually deserve it. I'm nowhere near giving the brown or black belts a run for their money, but I think I've checked all the other boxes to some extent. Considering I'm only 110 lbs, not bad.
Remember, I'm making a list of an undeniable purple belt, not necessarily what a blue belt needs to do to be a purple belt. Giving brown and black belts a hard time will come if you have the rest. Congrats on your purple! Keep it up.
lol does your coach blaze too😂
if you want to be a true purple belt, then you got to eat a purple crayon before training and two purple crayons after training. And the only drink you should ever drink is purple cool aide. Believe the purple and you'll be the purple!
This is the way.
I'm 3 years into my journey and have put in over 450 hours of training. Our system has me as a two stripe blue which I'm proud of achieving. Everything you mentioned in this video is how I'm feeling in terms of tactics. I feel even more confident now being able to submit, control or avoid being subbed by most purples and browns in our academy. Thanks for providing this perspective to help me better assess purple belt traits as I work toward crossing that line.
You got it! Keep it up!
I started BJJ in 1999. My hours I consider mat hours are all mat hours, including drilling, rolling, and instructing. I was 21 when I got my blue belt. It took me around 2.5 yrs. I was at approximately 1800 hours when I got it. I quit for 17 yrs. I was at 2700 hours when quite. I got my 3rd strip on my blue belt around 3200 hours. I finally received my purple belt at right at 4500 mat hours. So it took me 2700 additional mat hours to go from blue to purple than from new white belt to blue belt. I originally trained around 15 hours per week including helping instruct the kids classes for a few years. I came back in Jan 2020 very slowly. Right around 5 hours per week. I eventually hit 25 hours per week of training / instructing and have tapered down to an average of 18-20 hours per week as I write this. I roll approximately 8-10 hours of that and drill / instruct around 8-10 hours per week. I’m at an additional 500 hours outside of my purple belt promotion. My expectation is approximately (1) strip for every 500 mat hour at purple, and to continue till black belt. So I would suspect 8,500-10,000 mat hours at black belt level. Which absolutely corresponds with the black belts it my gym. Plus that also correlates to the 10,000 hours of a skill to be considered expert level. This is just my personal experience and journey. Plus I’m no genetic freak of BJJ nature that had and easy time learning this skill. I struggled for 1/2 a decade before it started to make sense to me.
I got shit for learning legs as a white belt, they used to call me the "knee bar czar" because I modified heel hook entries and finished with knee bars. Now that I'm working on purple, I plan to go deep into leg locks and get that game to a higher level on my way to black belt. (My plan is to go through Lachlan's 50/50 anthology).That combined with pressure passing and back takes keeps me rounded out and a threat passing or dropping back for legs. I am so glad I worked on leg locks as a white belt and know attacks and escapes from all the major leg lock positions.
56 year old 3 stripe purple belt and I approve of this message 😂😂😂 - great 👍🏼 video!!
I'm about 10 years detrained with 1 or 2 months of training in between when I could get it in. When I left I was 18 years old and a 4 stripe blue belt. Coming back, my body is different now and I bought a new belt to start over at the beginning of blue. When I left town at 18 my coach gave me my purple belt, but I barely trained since so I came back at blue. After a month in I can feel myself remembering a lot... it's taking a bit, but it's deep in there and this is going to help me set goals to get back to that level I was at before. Thank You!
Subscribed on this. Legit stuff. The pre empting part was new to me.
This is really awesome! Thanks for sharing brother ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice breakdown! Great content!
Thank you!
Thank you Nick! Just leveled up to purple over the weekend, and very excited for the journey ahead!
Fantastic!
Thank you for this perspective. I'm a 165 lb blue belt in the "older dude" category at 44 years old but I've been lucky enough to stay fairly agile and athletic for my age. I've been doing JJ consistently for 4+ years with no major extended periods of time off the mats. I've competed in the adults division at blue a few times with some success (actually did better with the youngsters than I did in my own division). I guess I'm just too stubborn to submit to father time. I like defined goals, and this provides some boxes to check in working towards that next level. I feel pretty solid in most of the categories but this breakdown is a good compass to help steer me in the right direction. Thank you! Subbed!
So much good information thank u
I would like a video of chain reverse and forward more details thanks 🙏
You got it! I've been doing a deep dive into the ecological approach to learning movements and I think that I may incorporate those concepts into that video when I get around to it... Keep an eye out for it!
One of the best resume for a purple belt.
I am preparing for my purple since January. Here my addition: when you want that purple, shoot for that brown belt. When you want that brown belt, shoot for that black belt.
Firaz Zahabi aid that if you need to prepare for the next belt, go roll with those next belters, and to hang with em, you need to tap them at least once. Not an easy task, I am 50 and it doesn't get easier.
A necessary clarification: Roger Gracie talked being tough or skilled. Lot of students think they need both. Roger believes that once you're doing your homework, you wont need to be tough and tougher. Be more technical.
My personal input: my stand up game is that of a purple belt, but my ground game needs some work.
My defense is that of a purple belt, but my offense needs some work.
Get my point ? How do I know all that ? I am easily able to be a decent challenge to the purple belts, some of em even cheat to upset me.
@tedado Thank you for the kind words! I think what Firas is saying is fantastic advice, and that sums up criteria 9 very well. I also agree with Roger is saying, but I would argue that as a blue/purple belt, you probably have gotten slammed around a bit. I agree 1000000% with Roger, and I would add that to become technical, you have to go through a phase in jiujitsu where you will just naturally get toughened up, if you don't have previous experience already.
I also get your point 100%. I think when I was a blue/purple belt, my defense was WAY better than my offense. Even today, I would argue that I'm still stronger defensively than I am offensively. To improve in the area of offense, I will tell you what I started doing as a blue belt and something that I still do to this day. Black belts still need to train to improve. When I'm working on something new, I start with the smallest white belt in the room. I get the move down on them, and then I move up to the bigger white belts. Once I can hit the move on all the white belts, I move to the smallest blue belt, and continue this process all the way up to the black belts. This is a strategy you can use as well at blue/purple belt; find the smallest person in the room and work whatever move you're trying to improve at. Then slowly move up in weight, then skill level. This will help develop offensive. If you just grab the best defensive player in the gym, you're most likely not going to see improvement for a long, long time, if ever. I hope this helps!
@@StopTalkandRoll Wow, thank you so much.
So in order to get a purple belt I need to be able to tap out a brown belt at least once?
@@BobBob-il2ku I wouldn't say it's a numbers game, or that you need to tap someone out. I was would say your average roll with an upper belt, you should be able to do something relatively successful.
Easy bro. Just starting skipping warm ups 😂😂
This came across my thread awhile back. Out of 95% of the purple belts I rolled with over the last 12 years they all struggle with strength. Then I realized it wasn't just them. Brown and black struggle as well...I thought this would change....but it oddly remains...that's when I realized these belts were very hard to say who is who....and what is what....I just learned to respect everyone's belt....but I honestly can't wrap my brain around so many "higher" belts melting under strength and pressure.
I'm a little lost on what to say here. Strength is definitely a factor in grappling. However, a belt level does not represent someone's strength.
@StopTalkandRoll and it should not represent someone's strength...I agree. But day 1 on the mats 12 years ago- the present... strength gives far too many people problems. When I think undeniable....I think of all the backhanded compliments and comments made towards bigger, stronger people.....and I always ask them to simply use your " technique"...not as a jab....but as an equalizer. I am tracking the bigger, stronger, skilled person should win....we all know that. But what I am not tracking is how simply turning down the skill....completely....and increasing the strength....in the most basic positions gives so many " skilled " people problems....
That's why I have learned... everyone is not the same....and its hard to know who is who...on the mats. This isn't dig ....it's just odd that people at all levels ( from my 👀.....that's not saying much lol)
Struggle with strength.
They just do....
And we tend to gloss right over that...
Again....not a dig...or slight.....just an observation
😐
Telling people not to use their strength is the equivalent of telling people not to use other skillsets or natural gifts. Nobody is going to say try not to focus on your flexibility or get rid of your long legs. Everyone comes in with different attributes. The beauty of jiu jitsu is that through proper timing and use of technique, strength and size can be defeated, but to say that it can be completely negated is dishonest. My 8 year old daughter could have the skillsets of Gordon Ryan, but she's not going to overcome the strength of an adult male. Actually, probably a good example, Gordon Ryan doesn't take PEDs for nothing.
@@Jimi1124 well, enough strength can overcome technique because it is in a sense technique. Example, I rolled with a dude that was 260lbs and I caught him in anarmbar. it was totally locked out, but he just curled my entire body. Even the best people have trouble with someone with a lot greater strength.
I got my purple belt 6 months ago, and recently got a stripe. I hope I’m here a lonnnng time. Hell, I didn’t feel ready for a purple belt when I got it.
Congrats! It's all good, your coaches thought you were ready.
You have no idea how many times I have watched this during the blue belt blues phase…
I hope it helped! I have to be honest, I have COMPLETELY changed my understanding of what jiujitsu is so I don't necessarily agree with myself anymore, but I'm glad this was helpful! I'll record a new video soon with my updated thoughts.
Nice
Realize that you've spent years on the mats, and don't give a fuck what any naysayers want to say.
The background music in this video @ 8/10 mins in!! What is it? 🔥
8:11
Very advanced techniques for Purple belts in this video…
Ossa!
5'6 130lbs (FRESH) purple belt here, most of the dudes at my gym out weigh me by ....alot, so this criteria at most times can be extremely difficult to pull off, even against lower belts due to the size and strength advantage... sadly because of this I felt like I didn't deserve a purple belt being that my "game" has felt somewhat lost or stunted and my overall perception of how good or not good I may be at jiujitsu is super blurry.
Skill beats size till size knows 30% of what you know.
background music is a bit loud
Sorry about that! I may be a black belt on the mats but I am quite the white belt in video editing! Thank you for the feedback.
Anyone ever tell you that you look like Mark Ruffalo?
No, but I'll take it!
The Patriotic American flag helps ;-) !!! OSS.
