Now some years latter, I am a Joe Moreira Black Belt, the Owner and Head Instructor at H2O Martial Arts in Oak Park Michigan and training the next generation of Martial Artist. I believe and teach that Jiu-Jitsu should be organic to the individual based on their own physical attributes while embracing Master Moreira's rules of positional control and the philosophy of "Learn the Technique but Master the Principle". I could do what he taught because it was right for my body. The major difference was the 6'4" 260 lbs instructor. One night I went to our advanced class and could do most of the technique taught. I lost over 100 lbs but still couldn't do it. When I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey I found myself in a great school with great teachers but my progress was slow, not because of poor instruction or lack of effort, but I just had a hard time squeezing my 6'5" 400 lbs frame into the same positions that my 5'8" 150 lbs instructor did. from the pen of Professor Zachary HolstonīJJ was designed for the smaller weaker person to overcome a larger stronger opponent. His passion for martial arts as a whole has made H2O Martial Arts Michigan's fastest growing Academy and a force to be reckoned with in the Martial Arts arena. His experiences as martial artist and former law enforcement officer has led to no nonsense approach to combative arts which has lent itself to training a wide variety of serious minded individuals who face life and death situations on a regular basis. He has an extensive background in Martial Arts which include, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Taekwondo, and Combat Submission Grappling.

The blue belt needs to be a confident guy that is a tough guy that can handle an aggression. White to blue, it is the stage of enlightenment. The blue belt is the most important Jiu-Jitsu. And after that, he reconsidered, and thought that the idea did not make sense anymore. I said that if he continued to do this, I would denigrate his image, saying that he was a charlatan. After I read an article on Rener Gracie talking about Gracie University, saying that he promoted online students to blue belt, I had a confrontation with him. Rickson on online promotion and Gracie University: Rickson Gracie explained in interview with Tatame, that it was him who convinced his nephew Rener Gracie to stop promoting students online. Blue belts would not be given online anymore and they were replaced by a ‘technical blue belt’.Įffective June 1, 2014, students whocomplete the Gracie Combatives program from home, and pass the Blue Belt Test via the Video Evaluation Process (no need for any live rolling, just demonstrating techniques), will earn a Gracie University “Technical Blue Belt.” To earn the Official Gracie Academy Blue Belt, students must pass an extended hands-on evaluation with Ryron, Rener, or an authorized Gracie Academy representative at a Certified Training Center. 2 years ago, they were giving actual blue belts online but with all the controversy following Rener Gracie’s statment that ‘learning Jiu-Jitsu online is even more effective than in the academy’ ( see article here), Gracie University was forced to change it’s grading policy.

This means that Roy Harris has taken it a step way past the controversial Gracie University which gives a ‘Technical blue belt’ to its students online. In other words, to test for brown belt third stripe, brown belt first stripe as well as black belt and above, the student must travel to wherever Mr. Testing by video through email can only be done from white belt up to brown belt second stripe. It has come to light that Roy Harris now offers to grade and promote students that he has never seen in person all the way to BJJ brown belt 2nd stripe by email and video.
