"Legit Profile congrats on the stripe"
"I have known Sean for years and trained with him at multiple seminars. He is a great guy, a talented grappler, and a well-rounded fighter (including Filipino Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, and MMA). Sean is 100% legit. Congratulations on earning your first degree, my friend!"
"Sean's rank claims align with verifiable external evidence and meet or exceed IBJJF minimum time requirements: over 6 years at white (no minimum), 2+ years at blue (minimum 2), 4+ years at purple (minimum 1.5), 2+ years at brown (minimum 1), and exactly 3 years at black for first degree (minimum 3). Promoter Burton Richardson, a legitimate third-degree black belt awarded in 2006 by Egan Inoue, is qualified to bestow these promotions. Sutton's 2022 black belt is corroborated by JKD Unlimited records and his Smoothcomp profile, with recent competition at Roll Models 18 in 2025 consistent with his black belt status. No discrepancies found. Legit!"
"Lots of high quality photo evidence. Legit!"
"time in grade good"
"Congratulación "
