- What's up guys!
Today we've got a question that came in from a viewer named Nolan who saw some sort of blog post/video where some coach was saying that the toughest belt to get in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the While Belt, because in his words, the hardest thing to do in Jiu-Jitsu is to get started.
He asks, "Chewster, what do you think the most difficult belt to get in BJJ is? is it the White Belt or is it a different one?"
So, what is the toughest belt to get in Jiu-Jitsu?
This is the question I'm going to try and tackle in this video. But to start, for me at least, it is definitely not the White Belt.
In fact, you just have to show up and go to 1 class and you get it.
Of course, there's a ton of nuance here, especially when you consider how difficult it can actually be for people to "just start". I understand that there are countless reasons why someone might not start BJJ, but once they do, I'll explain why the White Belt is not the most difficult to actually obtain.
Hopefully you guys found some useful insight from this video.
Thanks for watching!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.
Purple because I don't have it yet. Then it will be brown.
Stop it with this nonsense. The red belt is the hardest. Not only do you have to to get through ALL the other belts (including the white belt), but you also have to stay alive for 50 years after your black belt.
I don't know what the hardest belt to get is but it took me 5 years to get my blue belt. no breaks, no injuries. just someone who learns really F#$%ing slow. I am very proud of it. I have been a blue belt for 2 years now and I have no idea how long it will be IF I ever get another belt. but I think what you said about maintaining this hard path with discipline really sounded like the path I am on. Thanks for the video.
Purple. It takes dedication to grind to the first advanced belt. If you just show up you'll get a white and if you show up enough you'll get a blue belt.
I do think there is a good argument to be made for white belt. I started BJJ in 2023, I first started fantasising about taking up a martial art in 2008. Took me 15 years to actually take that leap, a delay I sorely regret but also, a significantly better outcome than the thousands of people who never take that first step. So it's certainly easy to obtain physically, but getting yourself to make a decision is still a significant hurdle and not to be scoffed at
Purple to me. It proves you were able to push through that blue belts blues phase. It also shows you most likely have that drive and determination to get to black. Halfway through my purple now, I’m never going to stop willingly. The only thing that will stop me is body failure or death.
Loved the “Rolling is the desert of my day.” 🤌
Been a brown belt for almost 2 years, and the thought of that black belt just weighs so heavy on my mind. Such an iconic symbol in this art and one that I do not currently feel ready for--however, the thought of it does push me in my training to be better. After all these years, it's kinda crazy to think that
I thought about starting for 10 years. Then I just told myself just go. Just had to roll that ball down the hill. Started at 34 and im 41 now. Just got purple! I can feel my age against these youngsters. Wish so much I would've started when I first started thinking about it.
For some people the hardest belt to get is white. Actually going through the gym doors. :)
It’s purple IMO.
Well I'm biased because I just got my blue belt but getting to purple seems....extraordinarily hard. Part of it for me is I believe I'm entering the "conscious incompetence" phase...
I'm just a blue belt, but I'd say purple is the hardest, and here's why. The instructors at my school have said that the difference between purple/brown/black is mostly time. You learn a little more techniques, but your style is basically set by then. The main difference is you make smaller mistakes and recognize how to counter you opponent sooner.
BB for me definitely. Took 12 year of battling anyone who came through the door. Never thought I'd make it.
As many have listed and for good reason. Purple. I said when i seen the title. You push to get blue and if youve made it this far its tough to keep pushing on unless you love or fall inlove with it. Purple to me is when you show you know your stuff, and nows time to work towards perfecting it and your own personal ways.
Purple.
Getting to Purple for me was a pain. Training for 4 years or so being subbed by almost every rank and need to have some kind of obsession over details or technical aspects. Learning to learn and take the good with the bad.
Black belt if you look at it from start to finish, in terms of “next belt” it would be blue or purple as you see a huge drop off rate at white and blue belt level
Purple. You can enthusiastically hit blue. That grind to “professional” is tough. Long. And whole heartedly in the “middle”
Purple is the hardest and once you there is the hardest to be at😅
