My biggest problem is that you are teaching BJJ and you hardly have a grasp of it yourself. Your website is extremely misleading. It implies that these people are getting training from someone able to instruct them. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of BJJ clubs that roll and teach with coaches that are blues and what not, but they are usually free and at gyms and colleges.
The only claims I am going off of were from his self made Bio. All this other stuff between Triton and Red Cloud, though funny, is kind of besides the point. The Triton guys are too biased for their anecdotes to be a relevant source of information and they haven't provided any cite-able information that lies in conflict with any public claims that Red Cloud has made.
From his bio Red Cloud never states a BJJ lineage. He claims a Japanese jujitsu background but then conveniently respells jujitsu as "jiujitsu" elsewhere on his website (which I don't like at all). He also name drops several big names such as Rickson Gracie, Bas Rutten, and Dan Inosanto but never states a specific time frame or how long he trained under those specific people. He also states that he's a member of the Rickson Gracie Association while never bothering to mention that the membership is just for an open access (essentially, the paid privilege to pay the drop in fee at a Rickson school) to an official Rickson school and that has has nothing to do with being a Rickson Gracie Representative. We can all join the Rickson Association if we wanted to.
