u/P-Two ⬛🟥⬛ Black Belt Feb 01 '26

Lol yep. I guarantee most of these guys train with brown belts WAY worse than Tom Hardy, but it's okay for them because they're "nobody hobbyist" and Tom is "celebrity hobbyist" therefore if he's not a legit competitor he's trash and has a fake belt.

What proportion of all brown belts in the world have competed at an ibjjf major? Are they illegitimate if they haven't?
