Congrats! Does he have a profile on here? If so, Lets vote him up!
Thanks Dave! Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a Belt Checker profile. I’ve tried to talk him into it with no luck. I’ll definitely let you know if he decides to create one.

That's awesome! Congratulations to both of you!
Thanks John! It was definitely a proud moment for me. His promotion was my first as a Black Belt.

Had a killer weekend on the North Carolina/Tennessee boarder with the family. Swam at a couple waterfalls, went white water rafting, and chilled by the fire. The Blue Ridge gets me every time. I'm reminded that Jiu-Jitsu is about life, not the other way around. Have a great week of training!

Tell him we said he's not a legit jiu-jitsu fighter until he joins beltchecker! 🤣

Happy Friday!
Working as usual.
Tomorrow we have a David Adiv Seminar from 10am till 1pm.
Going to be a great day with the team.
It will be good just to be able to participate just as a student for a change. I love that.
Anyway have a great day everyone.

My profile will be going back to Zero points. I don't really mind though. It's part of the fun on here.
I would have liked to crack the 40K mark but not likely before tomorrow nights promotion.
Supposed to be getting my 4th degree tomorrow night from Royler.
I won't do the "time served" promotion thing as I still get my promotions from Royler or David Adiv when either is available.
It's a milestone for staying active in training and teaching but seems more likely it's just for still being alive.
Anyways, bored at work today.
Hope you all have a great day!

Why would you need to be reverified for black belt stripes

Its just like any other promotion unless you do it as Time served.
Thats how the system is set up

Doesn't make sense as stripes are just time served. I would ask Christian before wiping your votes

To verify the date and promoting instructor of the new rank.

Time served yes. But if you’re promoted to a black belt degree by someone, you also have to put their name on it. And that needs to be verified to be correct.
Otherwise people can just say they were promoted by you or Hélio without any checks.

Ah I figured all that mattered was who gave you the black belt. Didn't think it really mattered who gave you time served stripes after. It's not like they are really promoting you they are just acknowledging your time served. Kinda strange it's not like you can go back and change who gave you your black belt.

I've gone independent this year so my future survival stripes will be under the time served category as I currently don't want to be affiliated to a larger org. This is something I've pondered about off and on as I wonder if it would have any adverse impact on my students...

It has been a good week. Jonatas Novaes taught a seminar yesterday and got the honor of being the uke/demonstation dummy. Today trained and rolled with Fabian Pereira, who is a young very solid black belt making a name for himself teaching jiu-jitsu around Europe.

Happy Friday everyone!
Quiet day at work. Actually wearing regular clothing to work today as opposed to my usual construction clothing/gear.
In the office all day catching up on some stuff I let build up as i was mostly in the shop this week.
Been having right hip troubles. Been able to teach and train but afterwards I'm not getting any real sleep due to the discomfort.
Ice / heat not really helping. Physio not helping. I won't take any anti-inflammatory meds because I hate them.
It's ok today since I am mostly sitting in the office while I work but tonight and Sunday I have two privates to teach at home.
Going to be a rough for me.
Sucks because my mind is willing but my body is not. Aging sucks ass.
Anyway's end of rant. Hope you all have a great day and weekend!

One of my professors recently had hip surgery and he says he should have done it years ago. He says the recovery has been easy for him.
He played handball for many years, plus 20+ years in Jiu Jitsu left him with a hip that would lock into place while he is walking. He tells me his hip was basically bone on bone and would get painful.
I hope to see him back on the mats soon.
Everyone take care of your bodies! Some people would kill to be able to do what we do. Enjoy your weekend!

Hello All
Been sick these past two days.
Fever, chills, sinus, cough and headaches of course.
Run a family construction business so I can't take a day off.
Just lock myself in the office where no one but my wife is near me.
Sucks because I can't get on the mat till it passes.
I don't mind being under the weather but what I do mind is the restless sleep and crazy sick dreams. So annoying.
Anyway, wish you all well.

Skipped breakfast for hefty valentine's lunch with wifey. Turned out to be a mistake. Had physical therapy right after the lunch and the physio had me do all kinds of jumps and squats. Survived by burping very expressively a few times.
Knee rehab is going well, which is why the physical therapist is giving me more challenging movements to try out. Recovery is at a level where I can actually do most jiu-jitsu related movements, at least to some degree. This means I can finally start teaching private classes again.
