"Nice pictures 👍🏻"
"No doubts about this 1st degree BJJ black belt!"
"Nicely documented profile with photo evidence"
"Verified"
"I mean, doesn't get much more legit than Maia putting the degree on."
"Looks legit from photo evidence. Great job. "
"Excellent profile!"
"Bretts belt progression exceeds time-in-belt convention, including over 1.5 years at white belt, more than two years at blue, over 1.5 years at purple, and exceeding one year at brown before his 2023 black belt promotion. His instructor, Hans Thompson, a confirmed black belt since 2012 and now second-degree, holds sufficient rank from Zingano BJJ lineage to promote legitimately. Lionheart Jiu Jitsu's website affirms Werner's black belt status under Demian Maia affiliation, with no conflicting records found."
"I've known Brett for a while and I can vouch for his status as a black belt. I also attended his promotion."
"Good photo evidence. Congratulations! "
