Came across a guy who claims he has trained BJJ for 15 years and "received his black belt from Ralph Gracie personally". The guys name is Tim Anderson out in CA.
I can't find anything to verify this and I don't think Ralph has promoted that many black belts, although I could be wrong.
Anybody verify this or know where I can find a list of who Ralph's BB's are? If the guy is legit, that's great. If not, that's a stupid claim to be making to other people. Thanks UG. 
these threads are like london buses.... you wait AGES and then 2 come along at once :)

This list was last edited in 08, so I am sure there are new one.
Thanks for the list bro. Very helpful.
Can anyone verify if Ralph has promoted a black belt in the last 4 years?
In just incase
Renan or Ranan ...something. He was a brown belt in SF when I was there in the mid-2000s. I also thought Darren Uyenomia was one of Ralph's.
Farthammer - Renan or Ranan ...something. He was a brown belt in SF when I was there in the mid-2000s. I also thought Darren Uyenomia was one of Ralph's.
Renan is a recent promotion.
And where did Tim Anderson say he trained? Ralph doesn't have too many locations so it should be easy to ID.

He didn't say. The claim was over Facebook and the guy lives in San Jose. This is the quote he left on a guys BJJ tourney pic:
"...looking at your gi I can see that you are a white belt. How long have you been practicing? Is this your first tournament? How did you win, points or submission? How many matches did you have? I've been practicing BJJ for over 15 years. I received my black belt from Ralph Gracie himself personally. OSSS"
I have no problem with what he's saying if he is a legit black. If not, then he needs to stop posting this nonsense.

You misheard him. He said ALF Gracie.

Willingly_Butt_Bonnared -You misheard him. He said ALF Gracie.
LMAO at Alf Gracie.
"...looking at your gi I can see that you are a white belt."
Why didn't he just look at the belt???
<blockquote>Stackdoe - "...looking at your gi I can see that you are a white belt."<br /><br />Why didn't he just look at the belt???</blockquote>
LOL exactly.
Brad Jackson was a BB way before '08. I rolled with him in "02/03 and he had been a BB for a while.
Can we put an end to the ossss thing? Whenever I see that I want to puke.
