BJJ Black Belts

How may BJJ Black Belts are there in Ireland? And how many are actually Irish?

There is one Irish BJJ black belt, John Kavanagh. There are two non-Irish Black belts, Tony Souza in Dublin and a guy down in Cork (cant rememeber his name).

Don't think so, I think gunni got his black pretty soon after ADCC 2009. It's up to Rodrigo Medeiros or whoever would do the promotions.

Is the purpose of moderators to make fun of peoples questions?

Rodrigo is coming over April 23rd. Could be seeing a few promotions that day I'd say considering all those affiliated with BJJ Revolution.

You think I'm making fun of the OP's question?.. Your way off the mark, but if you want to discuss it PM me.

Question re: Seb Torres anyone? Did he get his black belt recently?

Clive

I don't know when he got it, but facespacebucket tells me he is.

PM on the way. Site ban anticipated.

Yes you were making fun of OP.

Peter, a private message isn't exactly private if you give us all a running commentary and predictions about it's effect.

Mods sticking together!
Not exactely a running commentary. I just wanted to state that I would send a PM and expect that online bullies would react the only way they can ie using their power to silence a critic with a site ban.

Myself and yourself have agreed on a few boards bjj arguments recentley. Its a shame moderator status may have gone to your head too.

Nah, its cool and has been asked many times.

Some people just get themselves in a bundle over nothing here.

I'm locking the thread now, sorry.
