"Legit profile congrats on the stripe"
"Legit"
"I support validating Neil Harries' belt claims based on external evidence. Smoothcomp lists him as a BJJ black belt competing since 2022, aligning with his claimed August 2022 promotion. His Instagram bio confirms black belt status at The Mat Academy Wales. Bruizehaus describes him as a black belt from MAT Academy. Times served mostly exceed IBJJF minimums, a couple month deficiency in white was caught up in blue tenure. Promoter Chris Rees is a legitimate 3rd-degree black belt. Rob Taylor, primary promoter, is a 3rd- or 4th-degree black belt under Braulio Estima, qualified for all ranks bestowed. Legitimate!"
