UPDATE: Statements released on FAKE BJJ Blackbelt Jay Queiroz
Articles
Jiu-Jitsu
by Mike Palladino - Aug 17, 2015 .
It’s been four days since Jay Queiroz, a man posing as a Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu blackbelt was exposed by my students and myself. The video (Watch Here) has
gone viral within the community, and their has been an outreach of
full support from all around the world. I’ve received private messages
on Facebook from practitioners in Egypt, Russia, Brazil, Australia and
all across the US thanking me for exposing a fraud. While I am
extremely grateful for the incredible amount of support, I was merely
just doing my part in keeping the art that we all love so much – pure.
Jay Queiroz
When I first saw Jay Queiroz’s videos, it was clear this man was no
BJJ Blackbelt. I did my research for two days before outing him. I
wanted to make sure before I took any action, that I made the proper
phone calls to coaches, teammates and other Blackbelts(on GFTeam) and
had them watch the videos. I immediately felt for his students, who
blindly were in a trans under Jay’s spell. Jay was giving out blue
belts in a matter of weeks. Of all the belts in Jiu Jitsu, Blue belt
brings with it a sense of accomplishment. On average it takes anywhere
from 10-18 months to receive a Blue belt. Practitioners of BJJ come in
all different shapes, ages, sizes and genders. What takes one
practitioner 6 months to do, may take another student 18 months. The
adjectives of “handwork,dedication, sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears”
etc, are a broad generalization for what really does go into receiving
a Blue belt. The countless hours on the mat, the struggle of being the
bottom rung on the ladder, fighting and arguing with your significant
other and then going to train, over time at work, not having the
cardio to continue, a bruised ego, the list goes on and on for a
fraction of reasons one takes the exit ramp on route to their Blue.
The sanctity that lies within the achievement of a Belt in Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu is unlike ANY other Martial Art due to the arts purity which
exists because of it’s loyal and dedicated practitioners.
For Jay to undermine what goes into receiving the first belt on the
Jiu Jitsu ladder was a major reason for this expos’.
Here’s what Jay Queiroz’s Student and Website designer Nick M. had to say:
“I trained with Jay for a few months (about 3) it seemed a bit sketchy
from the start I’ll admit but, I over looked it because he seemed like
a nice person. During that time I got a blue belt in a few weeks witch
made me completely sketched out because, from what I read it takes the
best of the best a minimum of 6 months to get a blue belt and I’d say
I’m just average. Too add to that he didn’t have any belt higher then
purple until he ordered a black belt a while later (He claimed he left
it somewhere I don’t really remember, also I think this confirms your
theory that he actually may have been a purple belt). The sketchiness
of that lead to 2 of my friends leaving the gym immediately after but,
no no I trusted him so I stayed a while longer and trained almost
everyday for about 2 more months and it started feeling really
repetitive and I felt like I’d already learned everything he had to
teach. At that point summer hit and I started working full time with
the combination of lack of time and repetitiveness I decided to stop
going during the summer although I did plan on going back once the
summer ended solely because of the fact I considered Jay a friend and
I should probably support him. After seeing this video to my
disappointment the assumptions I had were confirmed. It’s pathetic
that he’d lie to his students that put in countless hours helping him
with his gym. What he did was low and I mean real low I understand the
honor of having a belt and what it means in BJJ and he completely
disrespected it. Not only that but he lied and took advantage of
everyone’s trust. I decided it would be best that I delete the website
I built for him because now I find it misleading (this is not an act
of spite I just feel its in everyone’s best interest). The thing I
don’t get is he still has people supporting him.”
The Chief of GFTeam Julio Cesar Pereira released a statement publicly
directed towards Jay Queirozon his Facebook:
“Hi, I just came to say to you that a Purple belt can’t teach a Jiu
Jitsu class. You can’t use our name, of GFTeam, on this way. You are
not authorized to do that.
By: GFTeam Management.”

Jiu Jitsu changes lives. There is no losing only learning. A
competitor or a hobbyist we are all one, we’ve all be affected by the
benefits of Jiu Jitsu. When I watch my students sit against the wall
socializing after a hard roll, coming from all different walks of
life, all from different social classes,all from different political
philosophies, all a variety of ages. These men, women and young adults
didn’t encounter each other until they stepped into this academy.
That’s Jiu Jitsu, that’s the art we all love. Techniques aside, Jiu
Jitsu is socially effective as well as physically.
Until next time, I’m Mike Palladino on behalf of Jiu Jitsu times. I
hope you enjoy my articles and I’ll continue to uphold the purity of
the art that has bettered us all.
I only trained kickboxing for about 2 months, several years ago, but that guy's striking looks even worse than his jiu jitsu.
I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around how much of this crap is out there. Maybe it's because I started with a top notch instructor from the beginning and was never personally exposed to any of it.

more updates on Jay Queiroz
http://www.jiujitsutimes.com/gf-team...t-jay-queiroz/
....and I gotta a hunch about something.
Marcos Soares Marcão mentioned Jay got his Blackbelt at ATT NY. I did a google search because my spidey senses were going off. BOOM!
Any of you remember this gym?

Home of Fattywarbucks aka RJ Encizo, a fake BJJ black belt I busted a few years ago.
http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma....1744492&page=1
This one goes all the way back to 2010. And got peeps in Brazil involved. Wallid Ismail actually did a video coming out saying this guy is a fake (Dave Lang) he still to this day parades around as a 2nd degree BB. He made friends with Hermes Franca while he was in jail actually went to Brazil and grappled as a BB lost by some ridiculous amount of points the guy he lost too could not believe he was a BB, he blamed it on jet lag. He has had multiple gyms shut down makes fake face book pages to keep his lies going its crazy and he is still at it. The store was published here (Police Gazette) I think it may still be up. But some how this guy keeps going and people believe him.
GF team Marcos Soares Marcão Official statement
Marcos Soares Marcão
“I want to inform you through this message that Jay Queiroz is not and never will be a Black Belt under GF Team. In reality he was a student of mine until his Purple Belt. He is calming that he did in fact get is Black Belt from American Top Team NY. But he insists to put on his profile that he is a Black Belt under GF Team. I have tried to reach out to him many times and I was not successful in contacting him, I believe he has blocked me. I have contacted our master Julio Cesar Pereira and he has been informed of the situation. I want to apologize to all Black Belts for this student and of his tremendous scam using our team name. Marcos Soares Marcao”
Marcos Soares Marcão even admitting that he or his team promoted this guy to purple belt is a joke. He's making the online Gracie program look like they put out World Championship practitioners. I wonder why more people aren't questioning Marcos on that Purple belt he or his team gave to the fake? Purple belt for that guy is ridiculous. I've actually watched all the training video's (which hasn't been posted here) of him (fake) teaching and rolling, with his blue belts who are a clueless as their instructor. How is this guy a Purple belt? There's no way, Marcos should be called out in my opinion.
Funny how these fake BB can't even pass for a blue belt...smh
I was thinking the same thing... If that dude's a purple belt, I'm at least a brown belch. hahaQuote:

And lists himself as a BJJ BB as well, not looking for a witch hunt just genuinely interested who gave him his BJJ BB, Seems one would be honored to proclaim who gave them a Black belt, I know I would. Eventually I plan on heading in to see if I can get some rolls in, but feel to check it out, Billy Mitchell of Ludus MMA claims a BJJ Blackbelt , I've heard from a few locals he's only a purple belt and there is a ton of comments saying he is a scammer and dishonest, here is the UG thread followed by a link to his website and another link to reviews of the gym, thoughts?
