I’m a blue and some of my best white belt students can tap me (especially the ones that weigh 40-50 lbs more!) so its not unusual. I think this guy was obviously purple belt level and didn’t show as much an overlap in belt levels as a person who was already purple belt level vs purple belts. Great video and congrats!

At my school No purple belt is going to have his guard passed by a high Blue belt. That school was handing out purples

honestly, belts don’t mean anything…when the okinawan’s first tried out karate, there were only two belts…white and black. white meaning young and thriving for knowledge, black meaning old and full of knowledge. the color belts were invented later on in order to maintain a sense of accomplishment and a tool of motivation, nothing more. Once in judo, i beat out a purple belt and i was only yellow. that plus, i had more cardio than the other guy.

There’s also a problem promoting guys based on how well they do in tournaments.

There’s always going to be some overlap in skill at all belt levels. The top blue belts at any given tournament can win against some purple belts. The same can be said at the white belt level on up. Some people have the talent to progress quick at jiu-jitsu and or have very good instructors or train a lot more than others. The color of your belt doesn’t define the person.

the orange belts are for indentifying the different participants in the events. Such as red for one fighter and orange for the other.

A blue belt getting 1st place in a purple belt tournament? Impressive. They should have let him skip purple and go right to being a brown belt.
