in response to ryan's sarcastic comment waaay back up there, yes i do care about people getting injured due to improper teaching practices. i dont care who gets injured in a tkd or karate school or what judo club or shootfighting school. but i am a bjj instructor and i run a bjj school. if somebody goes to a bjj school in new jersey and gets injured because the teacher is a moron, then they move to north carolina, they arent gunna come to my school to learn bjj, they're going to go to the local karate school where they dont ever have to touch anyone. therefore yes i do care about people getting injured while practicing bjj because it effects my business and my livelihood.

I'll ask again, then:

"So, what makes a black belt's instruction flawless? No one ever gets hurt under the instruction of a black belt? There are blue belts teaching all over the place, what does that say about them?"

I'm sorry, but I find it difficult to believe that is THE reason for your "problem" with *perceived* illegitimacy. Maybe I'm wrong--I hope I am, but I doubt it.
