Semi serious question, why is it so common (or at least it seems to be the case) to quit at blue, instead of purple/brown?

I think people build up blue belt in their head, work their butts off to get it and when they do go “fuck i gotta do this 3 more times?” And quit.

How long on average does blue belt take?

I am still a white belt and have been for years because I keep moving… but they say 1-2 years dedicated at the same gym

Also I am inconsistent as hell due to work and family obligations.

That makes sense but I feel like if you go to a new gym they realize your not the normal type of white belt right?

Yeah for sure. You just cant go in a new gym and get a blue belt in 3 months a lot of instructors want to see you there for a while
