2. Skills to master

To earn your purple bjj belt, you need to master a number of skills and techniques. First of all, you need to have an excellent understanding of basic positions, and develop your technique for advanced positions.

Transitions and defense are just as important, and you must never let up on the pressure and always be attentive. To do this, you need to be able to adapt to the situation and the opponent, changing strategy when necessary!

There are several techniques to master in order to earn your purple bjj belt, and here are just a few of them:

Passage de garde: Toreando pass, Knee slice pass, Over-under pass, Leg drag pass, X-pass

Technique from the guard: sweeps ( scissors sweep, flower sweep…) classic submissions ( Armbar, triangle, omoplata, guillotine choke)

Submission techniques: Arm lock ( Kimura, americana, straight armbar…) Chokes ( rear naked choke, triangle choke…) Leg lock ( heel lock…)

Many other techniques may be required by your master, and expectations may differ from one school to another, but are broadly similar.

By demonstrating all these skills, techniques and your many hours of learning, the path to the purple belt seems inevitable. This is just an intermediate step on the long journey to black belt and beyond … OSS
