Hey guys I got my brown belt last month and I am looking to get this profile verified 🤙🏽 Oss for anyone willing to help out 🤙🏽

You haven't added any lineage. Is it Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlson Gracie > Francisco 'Toco' Albuquerque > Fernando Nascimento Araujo ?

Hi yes that is correct. I am glad you took a look in to that :) thnx

Carlson Gracie

Carlson Gracie was one of the most important figures in jiu jitsu, and still is considered today to be one of the best representatives of the sport both as a competitor and as coach through his Carlson Gracie Academy. His legacy will live for many years to come, as many of the world's premiere BJJ teams came generated from his lineage, teams such as Nova Uniao, American Top Team (ATT), Brazilian Top Team (BTT), Nova Geração and many others.

Toco was really easy to check as he was on Carlson's list of black belts (e.g. on https://www.bjjheroes.com[...]ie-profile ). Do you know of a source which shows Fernando getting his original BB from Toco? My google fu isn't mighty enough.

We had the pleasure to talk with Fernando Araujo who leads the Jungle BJJ (http://junglebjj.com/), the first BJJ academy in the Czech Republic. Fernando is a 2 time State Champion, National Circuit Champion, and awarded by “Nova Geracao/UGF” (current national team champion) best athlete of the year in 1998 and 1999, and most technical athlete in the year …

I could probably ask him for a picture, but I think in this article he covers a little bit about his history background and then there’s a picture of him in the original gym of toco in leblon brasil https://www.bjjee.com/int[...]su-gospel/

I found that article, but no actual evidence. Nothing I would down vote you for and he's not on Beltchecker himself (if he was, he'd hopefully have some evidence). But I couldn't find any instance of e.g. Toco mentioning his promotion to BB of Fernando. And for up votes, I personally really want to be able to follow the whole lineage.

Eldar

Eldar Rafigaev, commonly known as Yakuza, is an Eastern European grappler, from Moldova, and one of the prominent competitors of his generation. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Fernando Araújo, Yakuza gained notoriety while competing in the sport's international gi and nogi circuits - with a particular incidence in Europe, being praised for his submission

I understand, however he is a 5th degree certified by ibjjf and I can’t speak on his behalf on his will or support for beltchecker. His students are also well know, in-fact Eldar “Yakuza” Rafegaev a black belt form jungle in under Fernando, just ended 2024 with first place on Brasileiro Rio, Europeans Rome, Pan Am Dallas & Worlds Las Vegas. Also on https://www.bjjheroes.com[...]r-rafigaev Where you can see the lineage clearly Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlson Gracie > Francisco Albuquerque > Fernando Araújo > Eldar Rafigaev ;) Oss
