I just found out that one of our members, No BS Martial Arts - View Profile: RoninPimp@@AMEPARAM@@View Profile: RoninPimp</title>@@AMEPARAM@@RoninPimp (http://www.bullshido.net/forums/member.php?u=5578) was awarded his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu by Lloyd Irvin. You can now all begin sucking up to him properly.

For those of you who aren't aware, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is one of only a few styles where being awarded a black belt still has significant meaning. Without going into a long lecture, the reasons for this are simple: quality control through competition.

Not sure what this means? Spend some time browsing our Martial Arts Standards forum (http://www.bullshido.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=10).

Picture of Kyra Gracie is completely unrelated to this other than the fact that she's holding a black belt and is hot.

Congrats to RP.

\o/ congratulation!

Now maybe he'll change his avatar from one with him not pointing at his eye with his middle finger.

Congrats MrPimp!

Really? I thought he was squinting and rubbing his eye at the same time

Congrats. He's yet another in a long list that would wipe the mat with me...

What? I didn't know he was so good. Congrats brother.

Congratulations, man! All those long hours of work have come to fruition.

Glad to read the news, RP! Rock on!

Thanks guys. It was a nice surprise at a recent team training.

I started BJJ in June of 1997, so 2009 will be 12 years.
