Black belt 6th degree verification progress

You were a blue belt in 1996 according to BJEE:s interview with you. BJEE also don't show you in the global non-Brazilian dirty dozen or the European dirty dozen, but there mentions you getting your BB a bit later (2004 or later, that should be then)
1 year(s) ago
So I must ask if the info on BJEE is wrong and if there is evidence on a promotion (not just competing in the BB division) to BB all the way back in 1996?

Purple belt competitor in 2005, confirmed by you in the linked thread (in dutch), which matches that you got your BB from Draculinho in 2007 https://www.mixfight.nl/f[...])!-results

Respect, your 6th degree belongs to the pioneer BJJ in Europe. many will thank you! I am very grateful for our collaboration! Also our great success with Spar Wars! OSS, and big deep bow. NIE-RE !

An overwhelming amount of evidence show you didn't get black belt until 2007 and competed as a purple belt as late as 2005. See https://www.beltchecker.c[...]p;id=63963

...but did you ever see him with a BJJ black belt before he got it from Draculino in 2007? Remco competed in the US as a BJJ purple belt as late as 2005. See https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=1&id=63963

False 6:th degree though (should be 4:th). Fernando Yamasaki denies promoting him to BB in 1996 and Remco competed as a BJJ purple belt in Bud Cup in the US as late as 2005. Carlinho's student Draculino (not Carlinho) promoted Remco to BB in 2007=4:th degree BB now. https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=1&id=63963&u=6526dc0893784

"I stand by my vote for Remco's Black Belt. His date of promotion is in question which will affect his degrees but I have no doubt that he is a Black Belt. He ran a Gracie Barra Academy for years until they parted ways. I doubt that Gracie Barra would allow an illegitimate Black Belt represent them. "

A wise man once said: "If your instructor lied about his promotions then you should find another academy to train at. It is about integrity. I could not trust an instructor that does that. [...] No one that has earned their belts the right way have any explanations to give. Only frauds need them to explain away their deceit. I myself, like many others, will never be a world champion but every promotion we have ever received was earned the right way and can be confirmed by our promoting instructors." (https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&id=25285&type=1&page=4). Changing the promotion history to the truth is however only a few clicks away for Remco.

Oh brother Jonah. Remco has done more for BJJ than you and I ever have. Let it play out and go train.

And Georges Meulenyser haven't done more for Belgian BJJ than you? ;-) History is full of people who had done more for (or to?) society than those pointing out their lies. It would be a sad world if everyone only went after lies of those less senior than themselves, don't you think?

"Entirely false claims in promotion history, hopefuly by mistake. An overwhelming amount of evidence show BB in 2007, not in 1996.

Did he ever wear a BJJ black belt in Holland before 2007? Or any stripes or colored belts at the times it says in the current promotion history on Beltchecker? First BB in Holland was in 2007 and Remco has previously stated that he got BB after that person.

As a Benelux resident, did you ever hear any claims that Remco was promoted to black belt before he was actually promoted to black belt (by Draculino) in 2007? Everything points to him being a false 6:th degree BB, which is the degree claimed. https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=1&id=63963&u=6526dc0893784

Being Dutch yourself, have you ever seen Remco wear a BJJ black belt before he was actually promoted to it, by Draculino in 2007? There are severak old forum posts in Dutch by Remco where he himself writes he wasn't the first in Holland to get BB (the first ones got it in early 2007). The adversity of having old students promoted to BB before yourself unfortunately causes some men to try to cheat their way to records. Really petty with someone so legit without having to be untruthful. https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=1&id=63963&u=6526dc0893784
