You can fight in IBJJF tournies @ your rank, if that's what you mean..
Blackey Beltch?
Joseph J Battaglia Different Gyms may have different Ranking systems. Mash and Warrior Way have arm bands. I do know one thing you cant make a Black Belt unless you train in a Gi. You can have a equivalent But not a Black Belt!!

Joseph J Battaglia And NO BJJ Federation recognizes them as Black Belts!!
This was the conversation.
Really, I dont care if it is reconized, so what. I am demoted to a white belt that has some skills, I dont think they would want a white belt to give them a fair go never mind if by some fluke they getted owned.
There has been a blackey beltch ibjjf nogi world champ from 10th planet last year, Craig Beauchamp?
Careful picking arguments with Battaglia one of those things where its choose your battle guy has a lot of influence in Michigan. With that being said just ignore it James Gray caught alot of crap too and that guys pretty much self taught started his own belting system and are tapping out all sorts of people
Carlos Gracie senior>Carlos Gracie JR>JJ Machado>Eddie>you. Seems like a pretty legit Brazillian lineage to me. Cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can argue with that.
Cause its not there system and your not paying there gym dues
If I remember correctly there was some issue when Denny first got his black belt, about a requirement that needed Eddie to be registered under IBJJF as well in order for them to consider Denny's Black belt legit. They got it sorted out and he took 3rd in the nogi Mundials a couple months after getting his black.
IBJJF lists there requirements online its something about a blalckbelt ID card. it Only applies to black belts for all the other ranks they take you at your word.
I know some guys will not honor our belts in a gi academy, a friend of mine recently went to check out another local gi gym and the instructor told him we do submission grappling NOT BJJ. But thats at an academy not a tourney
Its recognized or else no 10th planet guy would have been able to compete in the ibjjf no gi worlds. And we have multiple champions from that one
"you" was just a fill in the blank with whoever "you" is.
