Jin Jitsu in the park with fake black belt

[MA_Student]

Note that's the title of the video. I came across this video of a class rolling and wonder what people thought. There's another video on the chanel of some guys calling out the instructor as a fake. Personally watching it (and note I'm only a 1 stripe white belt so I know my grappling knowledge is very limited) it looks like they do know basic positions like reaching for the opposite collar to get a sweet etc but doesn't look like blue or purple belt level.

The "black belt" didn't look like a black belt, but then again the blue and purple belts didn't look legit either. If that's supposed to be BJJ (they're wearing BJJ-style belts), then no one looked to be above white belt level.

I'm not just talking about the level of rolling. Even the basic techniques they were drilling had huge technical flaws.

I don't know what that was...but about 2 min in I realized it was not BJJ.

I'm wondering who nicked the wall of their,dojo?

Yeah, as I watched it, I though I could probably teach them to that level on most of those techniques. That's not a good thing.

That's a serious lack of awareness when you don't see someone stealing your walls.

I'm betting you could probably teach some of those techniques better than they were executing them. If not, I'll get you up to speed the next time you come through Lexington.

You know, I used to go through Lexington twice a year. As soon as I had a reason to want to go there, my client stopped booking me in that area. I hate it when business doesn't bow to my MA needs.

These vids made the rounds a while back, and they are definitely worth paying attention to. Sadly, there are still people who are falling for frauds, and people willing to defraud others. As one of the persons in the comments section noted, the guys are smiling and having a good time rolling, and it is obvious that they like it. It's too bad that they aren't with someone legitimate, as they would like it even more.

Absolutely nothing to do with your post but as you're from Texas just wanted to say hope you and yours are safe!( I do realise it's a big place and you could be miles away)

Texas is enormous. It's even bigger than it looks a map. I think it's part TARDIS.

Ah but Nature dwarfs us all.

Heck. I was actually feeling pretty good about myself watching that vid.

At least it looked like a nice day in the park.

Looked like the purple belt was getting the best of the black belt.

Looked like the "purple belt" was getting the best of the "black belt".

It can certainly happen that a lower belt beats a higher belt in a given roll, for a variety of legitimate reasons. In this case the reason is that neither one really knows what they're doing and the ranks are not representative of BJJ standards.

The shocking thing about that episode is that it turned out Quieroz actually had been awarded a purple belt from a legit instructor. He certainly doesn't move anything like I would expect from a purple belt. Makes me wonder if he had a brain injury and forgot everything he knew.

 

[Buka]

Blows my mind how one can try to fake BJJ. Kind of like faking sight if you're blind, you would keep bumping into things. Then fall off the curb and get hit by a Toyota.

I saw this video awhile ago and didn't put two and two together that it was the same guy. It's a shame.

Question about that guy then. He contradicted himself in the video. He said first he'd been doing it for 10 years then later on said he'd been doing it for 8 years
