  • Today Elijah Smith is testing for his BJJ Purple Blue. After training for over two years as a blue belt, going undefeated as a Professional MMA Fighter, and winning a BJJ Tournament as a Blue Belt he has finally met the requirements to test for his Purple Belt. As with the Blue Belt Test we have decided to record the test so other students can see how the test is conducted. These test are not a pass/fail thing per se. They are design to see if the students are proficient enough in their Blue Belt skills to move up and to see what areas they need help in. In other words, it is a tool for growth. Thank you Elijah for being a gracious demonstrator. It isn't easy testing in front of a camera.
    Grading Syllabus For Blue Belt to purple:
    1. 4 submissions from close guard (1 being a collar choke)
    2. 4 submissions from side control
    3. 4 submissions from mount (1 being a collar choke)

    12. 3 escapes from mount
    13. 3 escapes from back control
    14. 3 escapes from side control

    I havent even watched all of it. I recorded it to my files, will re-watch it several times, for my purple belt pre.. I love what I see here, cause not very many instructors give away for free their belt testing curriculum. You've got a pretty decent purple belt in this young man.

    Really like your video of the test and your son is getting good in Jiu Jitsu! Forget the naysayers about testing, it’s good to see demonstrations instead of gold medals. Excellent!

    Don't know about this...not looking smooth...of course it will come with time... needs to flow... relax into all moves.. would of waited 6 or more months... can't be handing out belts just for likes...

      Ok, let's use our brains. I know that might be difficult for you but do you think he earned his belt by this video. Or maybe he has training, rolling, and competing for the last 3 years as a blue belt. The hardest thing to do is be tested in front of a camera for everybody to see. However, do yourself a favor and google, UA-cam, and/or instagram Elijah Smith and see everything he has accomplished!
