Skipping warm ups? Got some skills and causing some trouble? Being the middle child of the BJJ family you are taking shots from above and below. JT & Joey both recognise the risk and potential of a good purple belt and if you don't pay attention they can catch you slipping.
Your experience at purple belt is good enough to threaten the higher belts but the lower belts have a target on your back.
Depending on your journey a lot of your BJJ game is built at this stage in the game and you are starting to wake up to your potential and starting to come into your own. Competing, full time training, traveling internationally but how long can it be sustained?
Is purple the most important belt? Whether you agree or not it is a great time in your jiu-jitsu life so live it up.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
