Purple belt is the first advanced belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Congratulations you’ve earned it. By this point, you are legitimately good at Jiu Jitsu. Purple belts are technically sound, understand the fundamentals deeply, and know how to use timing, traps, and efficiency to their advantage. At Jungle Cat Jiu Jitsu in Whitehouse, Texas, our purple belts come from across East Texas, including Tyler, TX, and are well on their way toward black belt. This rank represents years of consistent training and a strong understanding of the art.
