4 years, 3 stripes on blue, finally got the purple last Friday. A few things I wish someone told me at white: 1. The plateau at 2-stripe blue is real. It's where you stop improving and start refining. Trust it. 2. Train less, drill more. 5 hours of focused drilling > 15 hours of rolling. 3. The belt doesn't change your game. It just confirms you have one. Oss to everyone grinding.

For everyone asking how long it takes — happy to break down what I trained, what I avoided, and what I'd do differently. Got the blue last week.
