For the sake of keeping this thread alive.... Hal out the Pure Jiu Jitsu email address! Such a serious business that it's named after his movie and and the gym

Nothing new on the Pure Jiu Jitsu page since the post admitting no affiliation with Edmilson Alves.

Looks like Mr. Gregory has erected a safe space and blocked this terrifying white belt woman on Facebook, as a legitimate 2nd degree black belt surely would.

Looks like they are going to be very careful what they post as well, to hide their illegitimacy. Typical fraud move.

When this thread came up and I looked up these guys on social media, I found a pic. of Mr. Gregory (the guy who was directly promoted from brown to black 2nd degree) at a competition with a kid and his former boxing Coach, so I wrote him a message about if he knew Mr. Gregory (couldn’t contact Mr. Gregory himself to ask about his rank promotions..perhaps he blocked me...).

So his former boxing coach said, Mr. Gregory was a great guy and good children Coach when he used to coach the kids at his gym some years ago.
He pointed out Mr. Gregory coached the kids for various competitions in Albuquerque area and they won their comps/brackets with Mr. Gregory‘s help (he was brownbelt at that time). He said Mr. Gregory would have good teaching skills.

So I don’t want to defend that guy or speak for him, etc....still I find this whole thing (Lasu and direct promotion from brown to 2nd degree black kind of fishy and strange), but wanted to share this info, as his former boxing coach just messaged me back two days ago....

Here's me reading that gentleman's reply and thinking: By Jove, a person who can't spell and rambles on - at length, about kids DESTROYING each other in tournaments. Well, that person doesn't appear to be the most credible source of information.

Also, I have seen mr. Gregory display his professed pugilistic prowess in chi sao, and on the wooden dummy, on many a' video.
The Irish have an expression for his appearant skillset....

First his boxing coach probably has very little BJJ knowledge and might not even know what he was looking at.. Plus I could teach a high school or grade school wrestling team 2 subs and a little sub defense and dominate the Novice divisions by sandbagging.. That does not make me a coach

Of course Phil,
You and Daniel are right and I think so too. (The wooden dummy boxing in their Gis was really strange).
I just wanted to post it as I just got messaged back by his former boxing coach.
As I said, I have nothing to do with them and don’t know them, nor do I live in the US.
I already made my opinion back then, when these guys deleted everything on Facebook and claimed to be affiliated with Mestre Alves (although they Never trained with him and Mestre Alves denied affiliation with them)....

Sorry I saw that and just couldn't watch it brain cells were dieing too fast and I don't have many left so I couldn't afford the loss

I should put Lasu and Mr. Gregory in touch with my XH. He says I'm "psycho"* and "dangerous."

Maybe he's finally found someone who will agree. :-D:-D:-D

------------------
* He once made me throw away a stuffed cat because he said it had a demon in it. But sure, I'm the crazy one. We'll go with that.

He may have distanced himself from Master Alves, but he's still rocking that coral belt
Only wearing one sock now though....

Now that you mentioned I can only focus on that leg and it looks like a prosthesis.

not to be nit picking....but are we not going to talk about the hoody, and polo shirt with he massive necklace/jewelry under the Gi? Jiu-jitsu at 5, golfing at 6? lol. In every picture you posted those gis, belts, random clothing attire underneath, oh yeah and the socks; all look super fresh. Even the photos without any back story knowledge look suspicious.

Have you all thought maybe we are the ones that aren’t pure?
You are right we are not pure frauds.
