Firstly what a great initiative.

Secondly an introduction to help increase my profile so that I can be verified, my main reason for wanting to be verified is so I can in turn review and verify profiles of students and people I know, I want to give back to the community.

We work so hard to build our BJJ knowledge with many years on the mats. Although after some 20 years of training and being a 2nd degree black belt I have learnt the art of focusing my energy on my journey and the journey of my students.

I have stumbled across a few fakes in my time, people that have paid for belts, including buying belts from some well known old school black belts. I used to take it upon myself to vigilante these guys but after sending many detailed packages to bullshido and IBJJF documenting timelines and evidence of fakes only to see absolutely nothing done it gets tiresome.

This site is a great resource, so thank you for developing it.

I would appreciate anyone that can take the time to verify my profile.

If anyone visits Perth, Australia. Hit me up for a place to stay and train!
