Rigan Machado knowingly promotes convicted rapist to BJJ black belt

[PDA]

There is possibly a connection between Martin Wheeler and Paul Saucidio via acting.

Could be that Paul brokered the deal for RM and so he feels obligated to him for his current good fortune.

What's the connection?

Interesting, I tried to look it up on the CA Secretary of State website and didn't find anything.

Good work...

I couldn't find info on when those various actors started training BJJ. Also why was Rigan and other black belts from his org teaching seminars at Saucido's school? Again if they can prove that those things were faked, then OK, but it is going to take some serious proof at this point.

I can't find any evidence of Rigan Machado being in or around Austin TX on the dates suggested by the seminars posted by Zen Fit.

Either the event promoted by Zen Fit's page was cancelled, or there never was an event to begin with..

That really isn't evidence one way or the other. You can scrub that stuff from the net, and if you know what you are doing you can make it unsearchable (at least that is what a friend that works for Google tells me).

There's still an absence of anything suggesting there was ever a planned or completed trip by Rigan Machado to Austin Texas in Fall 2016. Note that this post says October 24th was the "last day for early bird". That implies Zen Fit was accepting registration/payment for the seminar. This is another thing that Rigan Machado could easily clear up for people, because if that seminar flyer was faked, Rigan has even more legal recourse against Saucido. Or, Rigan could have attended a DIFFERENT school in Austin to do the seminar (there are other Machados in TX..), and Zen Fit could have merely promoted it to make it look like they were hosting the seminar.

Rigan just has to say "yeah I did a seminar in Austin in 2016, but not at Zen Fit", that closes out this particular mystery.

It's hard to believe Zen Fit would make up a fake Rigan Machado seminar, but it could be a deception, as in "Hey guyz, Master Rigan is coming so wash your gi and....oops! He can't make it too bad, but I'm totally his Black belt anyway so let's just keep training". IF so, very theatrical way to encourage students, right?

Also, "Martial Arts on Rails", is actually gym management software: https://www.maonrails.com/. The Facebook post was generated by MAOR (says so right there), so it was likely a scheduled event in the Zen Fit calendar at some point.

Apparently Rigan didn't learn much from the Robson Pereira / Maurice Sakata fiasco in which he so willingly ensnared himself.

[It is Fake]

Actually, I'm leaning more towards the guy adding a link and having his students attend a seminar at another school.

If the website and video are blocked for you, this seminar was in Austin,Texas at Aces Jiu Jitsu Club November 12, 2016.

Now as to why feel this way, the photo comes from Rigan's timeline which shows a post date of 2016 October6, 2016.

So, it looks like Paul's advertisement has been lifted from the time line and cropped to me.

We used to do early bird specials for events at other schools in my old art. So, Grand Master goes to a school in Cali and to help promote I have an early bird special at my school. I get a percentage with the host keeping and splitting the majority with the Grand master. We also had a cutoff limit of roughly two weeks or a tad longer. To me, this is in line with an October 24th cut off date and a seminar on November 12th at another school.




Please do not attack or hound this school. I am posting their link because they were the ones to host the seminar. Rigan cannot really control, unless it is brought to his attention, what is on every BJJ website on the planet. Also, punishing Paul's students is silly, his students are BJJ players regardless of his crappy background.

The "Early Bird" registration was a special deal offered by Aces that included the following, if you registered with the special coupon code, presumably by October 24th.

Your 3 Hour BJJ Seminar from 8th Degree Red and Black Belt and UNDEFEATED Champion Rigan Machado
One month FREE Access to my personal Black Belt Online BJJ Library (Normally $10/mo)
And your SECRET Aces Jiu Jitsu Club Gift!

I wonder if Saucido positioned himself as a Machado BB to Aces as well as to the rest of the Internet. It'd be wrong to hound or harass anybody, but maybe they should actually be informed about Saucido. If the picture starts looking like he's fabricating things and abusing Machado's name...he's a true fraud, and they should probably be on the lookout for him. The schools are only about 10 miles apart.

That theory proven true means he's still a real risk (as if the "indecent exposure" wasn't enough, add false agency, on top of being pure Bullshidoka).

He couldn't get a job instructing at Aces, right? But I wonder if he's tried to schmooze them..."Hey guyz, Machado BB down here in the downtown area if you ever want to drop in to my school"...who would be the wiser?

If they looked online they'd find:

-his bio about being promoted by Rigan
-his Facebook pictures at the Academy training stunt men from the Matrix and John Wick (regardless of actual date)
-his Rigan Machado seminar early bird special, which links to legit school (he never even needed to attend himself, and probably wouldn't have if Rigan is being honest).

....it's the perfect setup. Who is going to call up Rigan and ask, or dig into Georgette's 2013 posts to see Rigan's first disavowal? This will be plenty to hook the average seeker in.

Whats up with Rigan calling himself undefeated? He's been beat in Gi,No Gi, and never fought mma.

If we are allowed to completely ignore all of our losses than I too am undefeated...... :-\

Considering that Rigan denounced and distanced himself from Saucido publicly back in 2013, everyone in his circle should have known.

We still have Anonymous students of Rigan's claiming that he is bringing Saucido in, introducing him as a Black Belt, and having Saucido teaching in his place. That is pretty serious. Then there are the photos of them together which still need to be explained.

Some of this may be a con, but there is some pretty serious issues that need to be addressed.

Where exactly is he saying he is undefeated?

[Pship Destroyer]

Considering that Rigan denounced and distanced himself from Saucido publicly back in 2013, everyone in his circle should have known.

Circa 2013, Rigan Machado's circle was Beverly Hills, CA, not Austin TX. Saucido moved from Austin to help Rigan at the FIRST Academy, then the second one in Beverly Hills. He then moved back to Austin in 2013. The assault itself occurred in 2011. So when Rigan told his circle in 2013, it's not likely that most BJJ places in Austin TX were made aware (maybe Machado-associated gyms but...aha...if there are any nearby, why did nobody notice Paul was promoting himself as a Machado BB? Someone would have told Rigan)

In fact, it's Georgette's "circle" that was the audience of her original 2013 post, with respect to the greater Austin community. She sums the whole issue up right here, but points out...other than writing in her blog, she wasn't going to raise hell...until the latest events, where she kinda went fangs out (thankfully so).

So. My erstwhile friend, who lives in my town and teaches jiu jitsu in my town, is a rapist, in my eyes. And I can't get behind that. I can't support his academy, his seminars, etc. Sure he deserves a second chance but I don't think he should be teaching jiu jitsu to women who don't know his background.

Also, don't forget the original (now deleted) Zen Fit bio.."THE ONLY ONE TO DO SO IN TEXAS". It could easily turn out that there is nobody in the Austin, TX community (aside from Georgette Oden) who "got the word". What other explanation is there for the 3 years Saucido may have been teaching as a BB?

You'd think if another Machado BB in the vicinity knew, there's be trouble.

I have a hard time believing that a coral belt with the likes of Chuck Norris and the Dog Brothers as followers had a circle that didn't extend outside of a single city while BJJ was blowing up across the US.
