JGood merits and it wasn't too difficult to track your lineage online, but you really haven't uploaded or linked any evidence at all on your profile or added your lineage, so I'll wait with up voting until that is done.

"I know this gentleman personally. He is who he says he is."
"Legit for sure!"
"I know Matt and he's legit"
"Legit!"
"Legit profile"
"Matt is a well documented black belt"
"He is legit. I have never met him personally but I know people who have trained with him and his name is well known. "
"I support validating Matt Arroyo's belt claims based on external evidence. Wikipedia confirms his black belt promotion on December 30, 2009, under Rob Kahn, aligning with the listed date. BJJ Fanatics lists him as a 3rd-degree black belt, with training since 2003 matching the white belt start. Times served are consistent with IBJJF minimums. Royce Gracie and Rob Kahn are legitimate promoters. Lineage traces directly to Gracie roots: Mitsuyo Maeda → Carlos Gracie Sr. → Helio Gracie → Royce Gracie → Rob Kahn → Arroyo. Doesn't get much more legit than this!"
"Known and legit!"
"This dude is amazing! Glad to call him a friend. "
