INside: Now you're contradicting yourself. By your own definition, you stated in your opinion one has to compete to prove his legitimacy as a blackbelt. Your statement of the obvious (bjj history 101) illustrates your self contradiction. I don't see how I'm stupid for pointing out your self-contradiction. Regardless, logical debate is impossible with someone who changes his beliefs with every post to avoid confronting/admitting his own error.
You have continued to dance around my other examples, ones that have never competed in JJ yet are widely recognized as being legit; however by your definition, they are not. Neither are people like Nakai who never competed in JJ prior to receiving blackbelts. (but then again, Carlos Jr., by your definition, is not legitimate and therefore any belt he hands out is not legitimate)
