Description:

The boys read an article about a person who says that their purple belt is their “I didn’t quit” belt.

The article, tho related to purple belts can help all levels of practitioners, whether for themselves or to help and understand teammates or students.

Mostly the article talked about how hard their blue belt years were do to both perceived expectations of the belt or personal problems in their life outside of Jiu Jitsu.

Both are valid and we see them in ourselves and others. But, wrong at the same time.

Sometimes we just need a little extra empathy and understanding from teammates and coaches. Sometimes we need a different perspective all together.

Long story short, blue belt can be hard on ppl regardless of circumstances. Just keep grinding and you’ll eventually get to purple. The feeling at purple for a lot of people is that black belt now seems within the realm of possibilities. That in and of itself is a huge breath of fresh air.
