I hope your instuctors legit, but that being said even being taught MMA stand up by someone who does karate/kenpo seems a little shady to me.
As I said Rodd is a state title holder in Pankration and has competed in and trained a number of fighters for Pankration and MMA fights he is no Ari. I agree not having an official BJJ belt is not ideal but Luke Beston has been up conducted a seminar and given Rodd the thumbs up even promoting our GYM + upcoming seminars on his own website.
