I was reading the undergroung BJJ forum today and one thread caught my attention: It was about a certain person that had recently been promoted to black belt under professor Aloisio Silva in California. It appears that Prof Silva openly advertises ‘Non Member testing’ Which means that non members of his schools can come in and book an evaluation with him and after just a 1 hour ‘evaluation’ he would promote them in the belt that he deems is fair.
Aloisio Silva is well knowed in the BJJ community and has produced some very good BJJ players such Leka Vieira or Joe Camacho for example so this comes as a surprise that he so openly advertises this…
This is usually a taboo subject in BJJ as most instructors require a long term relationship to be established before any kind of belt promotion can be mentioned. You can’t really fairly evaluate someone’s rank in just one hour. This just goes to confirm what many of us have heard: that everything has a price and that nowadays many people can just buy a BJJ belt.
On Aloisio Silva’s website:
Non-Members requesting to be assessed by Aloisio Silva BJJ must request a private class of one hour to have a certified instructor assess technical knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and determine belt rank in accordance with out Belt Rank Promotion Technique Requirement. Belt Rank Requirements are available upon request.
Pricing for Private
Coming Soon
Pricing for Certificate
Blue Belt – $80.00
Purple Belt – $150.00
Brown Belt – $200.00

Seems legit! lol I wonder how much a Coral belt or Red belt would be?
