The short answer is no.
Only affiliates and direct students are able to be awarded belts. Blue Belt Requirements has helped many people around the world earn that first rank under their local instructors, and it should be used in combination with other sources to gain an understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu basics.
I am retired from competition and my focus is on teaching. However, I have competed and won in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling tournaments, from blue belt to black belt. All my victories have been by submission, and I encourage those that train under me to finish the fight.
I do not require my students to compete, however, I will coach them if they wish to have that experience. Only blue belts and above may compete for the Academy.
We love having visitors, whether you’re a beginner or black belt.
You’ll want to fly into the Redmond/Bend (RDM) airport. We recommend renting a car for the 25 minute drive from the airport to downtown Bend.
Accommodations are plentiful, and can range from a downtown experience at the Oxford Hotel or Phoenix Inn, to the zen seclusion of Five Pine Lodge or Seventh Mountain Resort.
Visitor rates are $20 a class, and a weeklong pass is available for $100. We currently do not have an uchideshi (live in student) program, but are well suited for those looking to commit to daily training.
