If you’ve made it to purple, we already know you’re a dedicated bad ass. You’ve crossed into what some call the “mini black belt.” Your game is strong overall, your transitions, fluid, and this is where you really start to play. You know how to maneuver your opponent to get them into favorable (or unfavorable) positions, you know how to use momentum and string combinations together. This is where your game becomes about the art of refinement. You don’t need all the bells and whistles, you know what you need to keep, and what you can throw away. You’re about light, fluid, and speed. The same Nogi rash guard that’s gotten you through white and blue is still there for you in purple, with the same clear and bold design to support you, not with frills, but simplicity.
