The Shendokan at least has attendance cards that they use to verify promotions, I bet this third-rate organization doesn't even take roll call.

These guys look like dinosaurs. I bet they don't even offer Instagram-based instruction.

Hardly competition.





" For Blue Belt, instructor must graduate 5 gray belts "



WTF is a gray belt?

gray is for children im assuming

 "Who say’s that you have to compete, or you have to be a world champion, or be this belt ,or that belt to teach BJJ. You too can teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu….......you don’t need to be a World Champion, you don’t have to be a Black Belt in BJJ to get started….you’ve just got to be a GOOD TEACHER!"



That's my favorite part. Who says that you have to know something to teach it? You just have to be a good teacher!

I googled the phone number and this website came up.

This is the third (or fourth?) thread about the WBJJA on this forum in the last 2 years, that I have seen. If you want to skip a lot of reading, THIS is the short version of how they usually tend to go:



--HMMMM... who are these guys?

--Looks shady.

--Wait, WAIT... Brazilian... maybe they're legit.

--No. Not legit. Check out those affiliated schools!

--Wait, are they related to famous guy?

--No, they are not related to famous guy.

--Whoa, they are even less legit than we though when this thread started!

--Hey, guys I trained there for 3 months when I started BJJ, they are a complete joke.

--Man, f@ck those guys!

--Yeah, f@ck those guys!!!
