Having traveled extensively, there are many places where there are very few black belts and they are dispursed cities apart so, as Joe Rogan so eloquently put it (Paraphrasing:"A Purple Belt is basically a black belt who just has to put in some more time." So from that standpoint I agree, as long as it is a solid purple belt who took more than 6 years to get there. Having a long relationship to the art helps to see it holistically, where as wrestlers winning comps may perform well, but it doesn't always lend itself to being able to pass the skill to others effectively. Jiujitsu is about more than just victory in competition. Just my 2 cents.
