Looks like Jordan Gregory's FB post on getting promoted to 2nd degree has been made non-public. It's not on the Pure Jiu-Jitsu page anymore either.
Hope you guys got screenshots of the latest.

I'm lazy: I was hoping somebody would stick up a url and say "there you go, click on that." #SpoonFeedMe :P

If he doesn't believe in or follow the IBJJF system of belt promotions, why didn't he just say that? Why the crazy lie about his student being promoted to black belt 6 years earlier? Clearly he wants people to think that he does follow IBJJF rules to some extent.

It doesn't matter anymore now. Mr. Gregory must have either deleted the post or made it non-public. It was there before I went to bed last night (I was about to reply on it but lost my nerve. :-D)

I absolutely agree with you. He wants it to appear as if he does follow it

Soooooo. Even though this guy doesn't "believe" in the IBJJF. Can we agree that his rank isn't legit? I would never have the balls to give myself stripes when ever I felt like it and I know one day I may not have anyone to promote me (people get old).

Am I correctly educated in relation to bjj, that it is not possible to have a blackbelt with 7 stripes, like Mr. Rogers shows on the pic? A 7th degree Bjj belt would rather be a „black+red“ belt 7th degree, wouldn’t it, as the maximum on a blackbelt is 6 degrees, isn’t it?
Technically no. The coral belt is optional.
A legit 7th could decide to continue with a black belt.
But this guy is a fraud for many other reasons

Ah that's a shame.
Yeah I screenshotted the original post and everything that I thought might be relevant when I started this thread. I figured things would get deleted/made private once someone called out this fuckery.

Nah it's only a former student on Reddit that claimed this. (BTW I am Ms. Rarity on Reddit, in case that wasn't clear.)
It looks like on the Pure Jiu Jitsu FB page he is directly claiming to be the representative of Alves.
I tried tracking down contact information for Edmilson Alves, but unfortunately the best I can find is Facebook (which I do not have an account on). Is anyone willing to reach out to Prof. Alves to ask about this claim?

David Ferrazano wrote somewhere above he contacted Mestre Edmilson Alves

My question is if you're representing/affiliated with him don't you tag Edmilson Alves in the post?
And why didn't Edmilson Alves like the post, or even responded?

Ok so the timeline for 'Randy Lasu Rogers' is 45 years of jiu jitsu. Lol Bow down to his greatness fools!! He will be merciful to all who bend the knee!
I bet more.....here he writes he would be in Jiu Jitsu 47 years not 45...
I could not resist and have a look on his social media

One of my instructor took a bullet to his knee (This is not a Skyrim joke) and still rolls. lol

My instructor (age 48ish) broke his hip in a biking accident in July.
Was back on the mats teaching and light rolling 3 weeks later.
I trained for the first 6 months of my pregnancy (COVID shut down the gym after that). I just did drills but would have gone for light rolls if people had been comfortable with it.

It is ok to not roll with everybody when recovering from an injury in my opinion...
I was referring here about he writing he would be 47 years in Jiu Jitsu....maybe he did Japanese Jiu Jitsu before bjj and he counts this together......

For sure: I roll with barely anybody even when I'm in perfectly good health. Rolling is hard, people expect me to move around a lot and stuff. :P

I'm stupid, I usually roll with anyone unless they are in the 300lb range and that's only because I had back surgery, need neck surgery and do not want to deal with another disc blowing out. I learned that tapping in training is ok as long as you had an honest roll and did your best not to just give up to anything easily without risk of injury.

How you ended up in BJJ instead of wushu or systema is still a mystery to me.

If he's doing jiu jitsu for 47 years I need to know where he gets his fountain of youth! And how he came across the art 47 years ago... it was unheard of in America back then
