    Yeah, that's been kinda my thing, but for teaching purposes, an official rank would be beneficial. Of course, tournament wins are going to speak for themselves.

    I would fly out somewhere for a week if somebody would house me.

    If you can't make it out to a moon, you need to put in consistent time with SOMEONE somewhere, if you've been training for 8 years it shouldn't be difficult to acquire your blue belt at a local BJJ spot. If you're passionate about becoming a 10p representative in your area you will have to compete and show that your skills are worth passing on to your community. and everything Herzog said
