The colors of the adult belt ranking system in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) are white, blue, purple, brown and black. There are four levels within each colored belt before black, and they are represented by stripes. BJJ rank progression is different and usually takes a lot longer than that of traditional martial arts. Rank in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is based solely on performance (moral, athletic and technical). It is an indicator of one’s ability and it is not to be considered a goal by itself.
