"Royce Gracie 😍 Looks legit 💯"
"Enough high level people have verified Jeremy and know him personally, so looks pretty legit. Jeremy, it would be great if you could add some photos of some (or all) of your promotions."
"Not on Royce's list of his BB:s and still no evidence added, one month after being asked. See https://www.roycegraciejj.com/black-belt-list-1"
Jeremy is the founder Capital MMA and Elite Fitness which has several gyms across the Washington DC metro area. A quick google search came up with these pics of him and Royce, or other Royce Black Belts together at various times in the past. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1841657905921427&set=a.348133965273836 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYUHnzjZexg https://www.lineagebjj-blog.com/blog/all-black-belts-are-not-created-equal-unveiling-the-truth

From a quick view, I couldn't see a promotion by Royce through your links. Should be easy enough for Royce to add him to his list of BB:s though, if he recognize Jeremy as promoted to BB by him.

It is absurd to dispute Jeremy’s legitimacy as a black belt. The current list of black belts isn’t legitimate, as Royce has removed all the black belts who recently left the network. This in no way invalidates the fact that many people earned multiple degree black belts under their decades of training under Royce Gracie & the Gracie family.

This is Beltchecker. Belts will be checked. If Royce no longer recognize him, I'm still willing to check other evidence put forward and it really would make Royce look bad if it proves he's de-recognizing his BB:s over e.g. financial reasons. But if Royce no longer recognize him AND he has no promotion evidence, it really doesn't look good for being able to verify. No old social media posts etc. showing the promotion and with a like or comment from Royce?

If you don't have evidence that can be checked, an easy fix is just to remove e.g. the blue belt from the promotion history and the profile will immediately be unvoteable, ie protected from all down votes. If he has trained for Royce since the 90:s, I have difficulties believing the current state of his profile is all he can muster. There must be a lot of photos and videos to dig up! You can also do some internet archeology looking for evidence to add. I checked Royce's list of BB:s through Waybackmachine, but it only had back to august 2023. If you know you train for an instructor which might disown BB:s not paying fees etc, a good idea is adding the list of BB:s URL manually to Waybackmachine, to make sure it's archived for future purposes.

Eli Knight, you've posted the same message three times now. You're welcome to reason and discuss the facts at hand, but then please read and respond to what I write instead of repeating yourself over and over.

Feel free to look at my IG page. Plenty of evidence there: https://www.instagram.com/capitalmmafit/

Add direct links to the exact instagram posts under the degrees which they are evidence for and I'll have a look!
