So many people can't hang to just get to blue belt...its a rough sport and definitely not for everyone
Great conversation chewy, I'm a 40yo white belt and loving training. Can't wait for my blue belt shark tank... excluding external factors, in my mind im already a black belt.. its just time
Definitely purple IMO. I started way back in 2009 and after about 6-7 months got my blue, then was stuck at purple for almost 12 years for a myriad of reasons (having to change gyms, moving states, work, military, no-gi mma gyms without belts, etc.) despite still training consistently during that time. I noticed most of the other people I started with at that time also spent the most amount of time at blue. The ones that made it to purple moved up pretty quickly to black while those stuck at blue or purple are still there today.
I think these days, blue belts are a dime a dozen and actually easier to get than it was back in the day because most gyms back then were being taught by purples and browns, and the very rare blues in rural areas. That was at least my experience in Florida, which was a pretty big BJJ hub compared to other spots. Now in most areas, you have multiple black belts in one gym. Its "devalued" the blue belt a little bit. With purple, gyms usually view it as an upper belt and want you to show some loyalty to the gym (i.e. not just get up and leave after promotion), be able to teach a few core concepts, and not get completely outclassed if you enter a tournament since you're more representative of the gym. I think the average is like 3 years from blue to purple, so a lot of stuff can happen between then. Since most people seem to start BJJ sometime in their 20s, Blue to purple is where people start to have life stuff happen to them that interrupts there training like jobs, moving, marriage, kids, military, financial reason, or gyms closing. I even saw some comments below with the same experience. If you make it to purple, you're usually past all that stuff, set in a routine, and more cognizant of preventing injuries. So staying consistent from purple to brown, and brown to black is much easier.
Another great podcast. Always good to remember each person's journey is different. It's helpful to be reminded how far you've come instead of getting down because of how far you are behind younger / stronger / those that have trained longer.
I havent watched yet but if you exclude white I would have to say Purple. It seems like people set their goals to obtain blue and leave shortly after getting promoted.
I think it's very individualized because, as you said, each person has their own journey. For me, it's purple because from 15-18 I trained like hell and got my blue belt and some stripes on it, but then I joined the military, had some kids, started a life, and never had money or time to get back to BJJ. As a 28 year old, with 10 years off, I broke out my old belt that had all the stripes worn off, signed up for a class, and have been back at it strong for a year. I don't see myself stopping since I have money and time to go now, but learning to work with my new body type separate from my teen body and physicality has been a HUGE challenge. I can't possibly see getting to brown and black being anywhere near as much of a hardship as this leg of the journey has been.
26:50 Would you consider a Gracie gym to be one of the "softer" ones?
The white belt is the most difficult(not tough) belt, because of access to BJJ. Is true that most people who start BJJ never get to black belt. But the amount of people who never get to start is even bigger.
