Icon3 Should there be a belt between blue and purple?
If you do BJJ u should already know why i'm even bringing this up.
the "Blue" category is probably the largest color category in BJJ, and it takes the longest to move up from here, which may explain why so few ever make it to purple.

I'll remain neutral for now, I'm just curious as to how you guys feel about this issue.
Enlighten me

for what ..those rankings show commitment, dedication and patience....it's what sets other belt rankings aside from having a crapload of belts that are giving out frequently and usually dont mean much.
