"East York Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s website (yorkbjj.com) lists affiliations and instructors, with Tom Fleming as 3rd-degree black belt; Smoothcomp profile confirms competitions as purple and brown aligning with claimed dates. Instagram (@donutzandjiujitsu) shows gym openings and training under Tom Fleming and Arthur Ruff. For black belt promotion January 14, 2023, Tom Fleming appears to have been at least a 2nd-degree black belt at the time, based on 2025 3rd-degree listings on BJJ Globetrotters."
