RMCan you please help me on my belt verification?
JLet's move discussions to the forum thread https://www.beltchecker.c[...]ge=1#81776 and we can clear up the lineage there and see what evidence there is for it being legit.
JOnly a single together-with-pic for colored belts and pic with unreadable diplomas on BB. Please add more evidence. Lineage can also be added in the designated field. See https://www.beltchecker.c[...]amp;page=2 for some advice on evidence to add.

"Additional pictures with promoting instructors make a strong case."
"Verified, Legit third degree Black belt "
"Besides not showing any evidence at all for BB and the colored belts, the John Boltin lineage claims are very inconsistent, with a 2010 DeLima BB doesn't go together with John competing as a brown belt in 2011. Also, your students lineages John is a BB under Joshua Miller while you later have modified claims saying John wasn't promoted directly by DeLima but by Carlos Gracie Jr on behalf of DeLima, while John is still not on DeLima's academy's list of DeLima black belts. And there is no evidence at all of Carlinhos being involved in John's promotion (or DeLima promoting him). And Joshua shouldn't had promoted him as he wasn't a 2:nd degree BB six years before your own claimed time of BB promotion. So would really advice you to clear up the situation in this forum thread: https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=15&id=81572&selectedmenu=3&page=1#81777"
"Legit and congrats on the stripe"
"Social media checks out, time in grade at each belt good, good to go"
JFound anything on social media showing John Boltin promoted Christopher to BB in 2017? And/or showing that John Boltin was a legit 2:nd degree BB in 2017 (i.e. was promoted to BB by a 2:nd degree BB or higher no later than march 2011)?
