There are five major categories of belt rankings in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The first belt ranking is white belt. As a white belt you are new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so you don’t have a lot of control. You are very dangerous to train with due to your lack of self-control.
The second belt ranking is blue belt. Typically it takes about two years to earn a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt. Once you achieve the level of blue belt you are now able to defend yourself while escaping from positions and attack your opponent with self-control avoiding injury to both your opponent and yourself.
The third belt ranking is purple belt. If techniques are words then a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt can speak in sentences. At the purple belt level you have a full game. You can attack from all positions and defend yourself with ease you are in control at all times and you are beginning to truly define your own personal style and game.
The fourth belt ranking is brown belt. As a brown belt you’ve truly defined your own game and you are knowledgeable in all aspects. You are also comfortable in any position and you have stamped your own personal style into everything you do. A brown belt is essentially a black belt in the process of polishing, refining and sharpening a personal style.
The fifth and final belt ranking is black belt. The typical time it takes to earn a black belt is 8 to 10 years. When you have earned your black belt your learning in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu truly begins. Many great masters say their journey began with a black belt and has continued as long as they have stayed faithful to the great Brazilian form of martial arts.
