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.

@KantFadeMe555 when ppl have the same color gi they give one a diff. color belt for scoring.

Like said. Good white belt can choke decent blue belt. I'm white belt atm. training for some time. I can handle most of the blue belt on our gym, but there is one white belt who almost dominates all blue belts. He won under 88,3 kg's nationals whitout giving a sigle point to anyone. He somekind of God's wonder :P

@RyanMinaker Like I said: it probobly just depends on your gym/instructor's value-system. I train with Damian Hertz: He's always expressed to us that if we think we're good enough to compete in a higher-belt level, then that means we must think that we're good enough to wear that belt - and he requires us to do that. No two instructors are going to think the same way; that's just what I was told.

@yeee941 lol yeah right or your school is handing out blues. A highblue is almost a purple anyways so makes no sence.

[RyanMinaker]

@shamantics lol no its far worse to put on a belt you were never given then just to deside you want to compete against higher level guys

I guess it depends on your gym's value-system. That's just what I was told.

@shamantics

to me its more disrespectful to put on a purple belt if you NEVER were given one. Its disrespectful to your competitors, your gym, and the people hosting the tournament. A purple belt is a huge deal, a huge honor, you can't just lie and fake that you have one.

That would be like applying for a job and having a fake masters degree.
