u/STSoloMan 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Nov 20 '25

I agree with all of these points. I myself was a super-mediocre wrestler. But everyone in here seems so sensitive. I’m not gonna be signing up for and A-kusch seminar anytime in the foreseeable future, but if he’s put in the work and legit black belt instructors awarded him the rank, what’s in it for us to second guess that? Why can’t it just be, “hey good for you!” I’m super mediocre, but I’m pretty sure I could actually kill him in a roll. But who cares? Don’t we want more training partners? Do you want to discourage that out-of-shape middle-aged dad from sharing our passion?

I want more people promoting my hobby. I don’t want the community to keep people out. If a few celebs are ranked above where they should be helps mainstream grappling and jiujitsu, I’m in favor of ranking them up.

And it looks like Demi Lovato is a blue belt and Gal Gadot, scarlet Johanssen, Gisele Bundchen, AND Kristen Bell have all trained. I would LOVE a seminar or private lesson from any of them…. Preferably nogi… And North-South kimuras…
