Where did you get the original of that 2nd Dan cert?
To those who read this. At Yudans Sila Bela Diri we accept members and recognize their ranks based on the certificates that they provide us. We have since changed the policy based on fake certificates being presented. We do not promote anyone accept those who are my students. I am not a certificate mill. You will not get a promotion certificate from me without training under my curriculum. This guy submitted a certificate as his current rank in BJJ and we issued him Rank Recongnition based on that. It is not certifying him or promoting him. If he is not true then of course it will come to light. All of the Rank Recognition certificates are digital with a digital signature. ALL PROMOTION CERTIFICATES from Yudan Sila Bela Diri have my personal signature and live HANKO SEAL not digital. So for Uncle Skippy that posted this you should have contacted myself at YudanSila to have inquired about Mr Bueno. I will be removing his membership until I can verify his credentials are actually 100% true. Mr. Bueano does not represent anyone at Yudan Sila. Membership and Student is not the same. Membership is no different from having a membership at the local YMCA. Membership just means if he wanted to go to any Yudans functions he would show his membership ID which he Mr. Bueno does not have. He opted out of membership credentials. All my official members wear the Yudan Sila Bela Diri Patch. Anyone wanting more information may contact me at 917-338-1569 / You can also meet and train with me in Harlem NY

Check out http://yudansilacqdefenseacademy.weebly.com/on-line-store.html - he sells martial arts certificate templates, with the first one being the one used to create the above cert.

As much as the "Yudansila" guy appears to be a complete rank whore/association whore, I suspect he just sold a "your name goes here" digital certificate to Bueno.

EDIT: White Shark beat me to it!

The certificate that was sent to Yudan Sila for his BJJ States he got a Ni Dan under Carlson Gracie. For those who question about the certificates I have on my website please contact myself. I sale templates not certificate with peoples names. All you get is a martial arts boarder. You can purchase the same software with the same templates anywhere. So as far as name bashing an organization please contact us first. 917-338-1569 and you are welcome to train at the Harlem NY location.

I did not certify Mr Bueno in any system what so ever. He presented a Carlson Gracie Ni Dan certificate as verification to join my organization. He does not represent Yudan Sila Bela Diri.

All certificate that I sale are only templates for schools to make there own certificates with their own seals.

Awesome first posts. Thank you very much. It looks like Lazaro Bueno was collecting as many "Honorary" or association certificates as he could.

As far as BJJ certification goes which is the one that will get most of us annoyed: Rilion Gracie's school responded to two of us and indicated that Lazaro Bueno had trained with them and was a white belt in BJJ.

Indeed, awesoem! Thank you very much for the information, Sir!

Welcome to bullshido.
Thanks for the explanation it helps. I am going to be nice, but you really should reexamine you recognition policy and poor analogy.

Hi Shihan Farouk - thanks for joining up and telling us about this.

So, I presume that Mr. Bueno sent you a scanned copy of his BJJ certificate?

If so, there are plenty of fellas here who'd (I presume) be rather interested in taking a look at that.

I think we already saw it. He took it down really fast on the first day of this thread. A couple of us have it saved locally.

There was this crappy digital home-made looking thing posted earlier on (unless you're talking about something else)...

http://i51.tinypic.com/2lmug4m.png

I was curious as to whether he'd shown Mr. Farouk something more...

Carlson Gracie Junior called me today (at a terrible time, naturally) about something else entirely (wanted to see if I was interested in hosting a seminar with a friend of his), and I remembered to ask him at the end of the conversation if he'd ever heard of Lazaro.

It shouldn't be any surprise that he said "I never heard of the guy." Since I'm still half-convinced this guy's entire thing is an elaborate troll job for the world, and the dude doesn't have any students, I didn't give Carlson any details on why I was asking, just said "it came up."

A few weeks ago, I emailed Professor Romero 'Jacare' Cavalcanti with regards to Mr. Bueno's claim to training at Alliance BJJ in Miami, as documented here:
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=106552&p=2556077&viewfull=1#post2556077

In my initial email I enquired as to whether Lazaro Bueno had attented Alliance BJJ and trained under Professor Cavalcanti - and if so, the extent of this training, and whether or not Mr. Bueno had been awarded any rank in his time there.


I received a reply a couple of days back. With Prof. Cavalcanti's kind permission, I can quote the following for you:


I don't remember Lazaro Bueno being my student, maybe he trained with me for a short period of time that's all.

As always, the emails are available to staff/admin upon request for purposes of verification.

Is there any reason this thread hasn't been moved to MABS?

Lazaro is certified JKD instructor by Carter Hargrave.

Is he actually teaching or offering classes? I thought the main reason the thread fizzled was that, despite the certificate farming going on, he didnt actually offer any instruction at the moment.

edit

actually his ultimatebodyguard site does suggest he does private lessons now

A practitioner of many styles of martial arts throughout his life, he now focuses on Jeet Kune Do and promoting unity within the JKD community. He is a student of the famous Rilion Gracie whom he trains with throughout the week. Due to his love for fighting and his beleif that a martial artist that does not train realistically and fight full contact regularly is not training to be a fighter but a theorist, he joined a Kyokushin Dojo and fights on it's team. Kyokushin is the brain child of Mas Oyama and quickly became the most brutal and realistic of all Karate styles. They fight full contact and without protection...no theorys just truth...like JKD should be. That is exactly why Lazaro has incorporated this training method in his JKD.
Mr. Bueno owns Ultimate Jeet kune Do Miami, a personal training service that specializes in fighter specific training, Jeet kune Do and Hokuto Shinken. He also owns and operates Ultimate protection & investigations, inc. An investigations agency in South Florida specializing in Executive Protection Services, protecting high threat targets, celebrities and executives.
