A Purple/Blue sash must be aware that other students are watching them. Anything they do on the floor will be seen as “the proper” way to behave. Knowing this, students achieving this rank must make sure they are polite and helpful to their fellow students. In addition, they should put out their maximum effort during class – always striving to reach new goals. As always, if you have questions about rank, ASK.
