"Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt."

Everyone and there mother is getting blackbelts from various instructors after just a few years of full time MMA training.

Keep in mind, years ago you had to win a competition at the brown belt level to be considered for a black belt. And then you had to show case the ability to beat a black belt.

Very few people in the MMA main stream are feared for their jiu jitsu....and the ones that are came from REAL lineage and EARNED them.
