This would explain why Paulo Fernandez’s name isn’t mentioned anywhere in his promotion history. Carlos Rojas is a blue belt under Paulo Fernandez. He probably had Carlson present the belts to everyone getting promoted that day of the seminar. That doesn’t make any one of the people promoted that day a student of Carlson Gracie. I thought his daughter said that she was promoted the same day her dad (Carlos) was promoted to purple belt? Did I understand that correctly?
I do t recall if she mentioned the actual belt itself. Also, just to add to more timelines, Paulo didn't affiliate or join Carlson Gracie Team until 2005.

there's a tiny 'list' link on mobile
You can click on the number next to the reaction emoji so you can isolate only those who think your post is funny, for example. Sometimes you just want to cut caring/neutral/sad people out of your life. It's totally understandable.

Some more info from Mikayla. Anyone wantiong to make the contacts? If they remember which belts (and from whom) were worn at what periods of time and so on.
"We were at Paulos when I was a kid. You could probably reach out to Aaron Olsher from studio 540 and then went to Jimmy Sanchez(he is gracie humaita black belt) who was teaching under Dean Lister.
Mike taught a few seminars to military and law enforcement guys that my dad attended for work and promoted my dad during a seminar on the eastcoast."
"I dont know if this helps but during that time my dad was also training with Gracie Barra under Eduardo de Lima and Max Goldberg. [...] He got some stripes on his brown belt from them before going back to working in Pendleton. "
Edit: I still haven't gotten an answer to this question: "Was the brown belt promotion only by Mike, did he promote together with Naka at the same time and place or were there two independent times of promotion there too, one from Mike and one from Naka? That one was kind of confusing".
Info on Mike: https://www.bjjee.com/int[...]rs-of-age/

More dates not matching: Mikayla wearing two stripe green and Carlos wearing three(?) stripe brown. M got green belt dec 15 in 2012 and 2:nd stripe would then have been around the second half of 2013. At this time, C is still wearing brown belt although he claimed getting promoted to black belt in dec 2 in 2012.
I've messaged M and asked if there is an explanation.

The date on my profile is actually an error on my part. It should 2011. I actually ever noticed until you Johan pointed that out. I think i was 12 at the time and didnt exactly pay the best attention to dates. My apologies for the confusion.

You also wrote on your profile that you competed (won gold) as an orange belt in Junior Worlds Jan 1, 2012. Do you have any records from the 2012 competition showing that is incorrect?
Also, with IBJJF standards, you can't get green belt before the year you turn 13, so that would still be 2012. Are you sure you remember correctly and that Gracie Barra (where?) doesn't follow the IBJJF belt system guidelines?

The kids worlds was in 2011, but I am not sure what federation it was from. All I remember is that they gave bikes to all the winners.
Also Im pretty sure I was 12 when I got my green belt, but I have no idea if that was within standards. I was a kid.
Guys at this point ive as honest and as helpful as possible but I feel like no matter what I say you guys have made up your minds. My timeline clearly has some wrong dates and I own that error.
Like I said before I approximated my kid belt dates when I created my profile, I never realized it would be so important to a bunch of grown men on the internet. I am getting pretty frustrated since all ive done is tried to help, but all im getting is grilled by everyone. I am going to stop responding at this point.

My "legitimacy" has never been questioned, let alone scrutinized to this extent. This is amazing.
Johan, can we do me next? I will answer all of your questions. Promise.

I'm not going to dispute anyones adult BB based on their child belt dates. My questions were as time reference to Carlos' brown belt.

Thank you for your understanding.
ADDED: The #1 rule of the forum—"be nice"—was becoming difficult to follow for some people and it was starting to turn into a "hell yeah they're going down"-vibe with too many posts we had to remove. Combined with the fact that the user in question no longer is on Beltchecker, we decided to lock the topic to avoid it derailing further.
