BJJ 101: Purple Belt Test 

Today Elijah Smith is testing for his BJJ Purple Blue. After training for over two years as a blue belt, going undefeated as a Professional MMA Fighter, and winning a BJJ Tournament as a Blue Belt he has finally met the requirements to test for his Purple Belt. As with the Blue Belt Test we have decided to record the test so other students can see how the test is conducted. These test are not a pass/fail thing per se. They are design to see if the students are proficient enough in their Blue Belt skills to move up and to see what areas they need help in. In other words, it is a tool for growth. Thank you Elijah for being a gracious demonstrator. It isn't easy testing in front of a camera.
