Mario Lopez earns his Blue Belt.

 

[SAJ]

got my blue belt today

Chiu kwong man was braulios first black belt in the UK. He's about 57 but trains and teaches 7 days a week some times twice a day.

The guy is a wizard and super technical. He probably weighs about 140 pounds but feels like a tank when he passes my guard. I can't move him

I saw a post that Rickson put out, apparently Scott Caan (James Caan's son, he started in the Ocean films and is on Hawaii 5-0.... And my choice to play the new Wolverine since he's 5'5" tall) is a black belt with his professor bars.... I didn't even know that he trained

Excuse my ignorance, but what are professor bars? I was under the impression that one was referred to professer at black belt.

Generally, black belt size are referred to as Professor. However, the red bars typically seen on a blackbelt signify that the person is an instructor, where as the lessor seen white bars are for competitors who don’t instruct as their primary role.

A black belt with a solid white patch is considered a black belt practitioner (as Doc mentioned... This is used primarily in the Helio Gracie side of the family, and their black belts like Caique).

Black Belt with a red patch is a black belt instructor (the Gracie's and the IBJJF system use this)

Black belt with a red patch with white borders is considered a professor of BJJ... The Gracie's award this belt two years after you receive your red patch belt.... The IBJJF will give professor bars if you're a school owner as soon as you get your black belt

Damn, what's up with the fist? Their blue belt test must be pretty tough.

There is zero chance I would hit him with my belt if I trained at that academy. BJJ or not, that dude is huge.

Right? Watch the second to last guy on the left, pretty sure he's the only white belt and he swings it like a lil girl for good reason.

Any of you guys have a cool way of putting old belts on display? I'm looking to make or buy something for each of my kids to show belts, medals and such. Any photos or links are appreciated.

There's a company that I saw Rener mention that was basically a wood frame that resembled a ladder that you wrap your belts across like you were wearing them... I'll see if I can find it

I have one of these for both my kids, I will snap a picture later tonight. If you search online, there is a shadow box (deep picture frame) designed to hold the colored BJJ belts since there are only 4 belts before black.

Sounds perfect. If you can find or remember a link that would be helpful. I'll see what @SC MMA MD posts for his photo and I may try to make one myself.

Thanks.

I bought each of my kids a wall-mounted samurai sword rack. Everything hangs from those.
