Shoulder Guard that I use

I wouldn't say black belt if you are a white belt man. No disrespect, but that's kind of something the community frowns upon.

Lol, I'm a white belt, in that I'm self taught and we don't use gi, or the belt system. Not in knowledge and experience. Can't be a Jiu jitsu belt if you only do nogi outside of 10th planet

How long have you been training and how did you come to be the head instructor?

IMO Logic would dictate that if you do not use the belt system, that you would not assume a level and represent yourself as a white belt.

I dropped affiliation 2 months ago, with the intent of becoming a 10th planet. Feel free to check. We were Att Franklin Square and Whitestone

You seem like a nice guy and all, but if your intent is to become an affiliate, I'd stop misrepresenting myself if I were in your shoes. Its a red flag in our association, for sure.

Tell me the belt and I shall rank it. I'm extremely sincere and apologize for any confusion. I'd love to rep no belt if possible and allow my posts speak for themselves
