"No doubt - Legit"
"Legit profile"
"Coastal Combatives has long been listed as a Relson Gracie Association affiliate in the historical Onzuka (O2 Academy) directory, some tough dudes I have visited and trained with, connecting him with one of Relson's best-known and well-respected affiliations. Legit!"
"This black belt profile is well documented with certificates and photos."
"(Helping the platform move forward I verify some instructors whom I Don't know personally): Lineage, operating a gym as a coach, track record as competitor - all that makes Garth a verifiable BB in my opinion. "
"My first Jiu jitsu professor. I was present during his black belt promotion from Relson Gracie. I trained under Garth’s guidance until purple belt. He’s is a great professor and there’s no better mentor I could have asked for. I’m still in contact with Garth and speak with him often. "
"Cannot say enough good things about Garth. A very legitimate black belt, teacher, and man. "
