Ok,I take it you guys have turned this into about BJJ belts." Last time I checked Matt Hughes was a white belt, as is Frank Shamrock",exactly.I would not want to learn BJJ from them.I would how ever train for mma with them.
""Earns", "legitimate", "reputable", etc.--they're all relative and subjective terms, which is the crux of the problem. Who cares?Why does it matter to you if someone says they are a black belt, and they received that belt from someone *you* deem disreputable or illegitimate?",well first off,if they are lying about thier rank,in most professions that has a fancy name.Fraud!Reguardless of how good the guy is,if he's lying about his rank,he's a lier.Now if some one doubts their rank or that persons instructors judgment or ability,settle it on the mat.
Now as far as lower than a black belt teaching,it happens.I do not disagree with blue,purple,or brown belts teaching.Should they charge the same?No.Can a blue belt teach as good as a purple belt?In most cases,no.They lack the expieriance with the moves and really only have a basic understanding.
