It recently dawned on me that at both BJJ schools I've trained in, the professors seem to be promoting older (~55+) students a good bit more quickly than younger students.

In both cases this has led to the gym having several older purple and brown belts that roll at more of a blue or purple level respectively.

I guess it kinda makes sense in some way. People at that age may not have many mat years left, and I actually think it's kinda nice to give the opportunity to promote to black before they no longer physically can.

I don't mind it, I was just curious if others have noticed this in their gyms.
