Rigan Machado knowingly promotes convicted rapist to BJJ black belt

[jitschix]

Paul Saucido still teaching jiu jitsu and running an academy in Austin Texas-- offering women's self defense!!!--- despite being a registered sex offender who was convicted of sexual assault... this is made easier by Rigan forgetting his promise to the community and promoting Paul to black belt...

What changed? Paul grabbed a girl at a party, got her alone in a locked bathroom, and sexually assaulted her. Now he's running a jiu jitsu school and Rigan Machado promoted him to black belt AFTER the rape and conviction, AFTER he came out publically disavowing any connection with Paul.

Those are very good questions which require answers.
I am assuming any questions you have asked already have gone unanswered?

I really hope Mestre Rigan does not state that he promoted this guy.

I will be sad if Paul Saucido was promoted to black belt by the Machados.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Paul Saucido is not listed on the IBJJF website as a blackbelt,

and Paul Saucido's school is not listed as a Rigan Machado affiliate on Rigan Machado's website.

Unless Mestre Rigan has stated he has promoted Paul Saucido in writing or on a recording,

I would say that Paul Saucido has made a claim without proof of that claim,

unless he can produce proof to the contrary.

Paul Saucido could of just as easily claimed that he was appointed as a Head Lama under the Dalai Lama,

But unless Paul Saucido has proof of that claim, silence on the part of the Dalai Lama is not proof that the claim is true, and is meaningless.

And unless Paul Saucido has proof of his claim that Rigan Machado promoted him to black belt, silence on the part of the Rigan Machado is not proof that the claim is true, and is meaningless.

[Michael Tzadok]

Has Rigan Machado been contacted and asked for a response?

Paul Saucido can claim anything. Rigan may not even be aware of the claim. Rigan should be contacted and asked. His response or lack thereof will be very important.

You're officially my favorite female /blogger/purple belt that lives in TX. Granted there wasn't a lot of people nominated, but you still pulled it off.

I am not listed as an ibjjf certified black belt either, Because that list is of certified black belts. That means you took a ref course,cpr course, and have a background check that came back clean and you gave him $400.

A sexual predator can't be an ibjjf certified black belt. He will fail the background test. I'm not a certified ibjjf black belt because I keep forgetting to do my paperwork and send in my check.

I am however listed as a 2 times IBJJF black belt bronze medalist and I have a current ibjjf membership as a black belt.

The point is, anybody can put up a page saying they are a black belt in anything (and often do).

Where is the proof of his claim that Rigan Machado promoted him to black belt in Jiu-Jitsu?

Until I see that proof, and until Rigan Machado verifies that the proof is indeed bonafide,

I say that Paul Saucido has made an unsubstantiated claim that should in no way reflect poorly on Rigan Machado.

How many people have come on these boards dropping names, as if dropping names was golden armor or a valid appeal to authority or a substitute for a proper argument.

Dropping names along with making claims without proof, is the ultimate tool of a bullshitter.

Agreed about the name dropping, but if you read the previous statements on the issue it's not looking good. Have you read the original story from 2013?

I think I have read the original story, regarding the sexual assault.

Has there been any acknowledgement from Rigan Machado that he did promote this guy?

That I have not seen...

But, I have seen many people in the past claim to have black belts that were later found out to have not been promoted from the person they alleged to have promoted them.

The woman drank too much, an arrest affidavit says, and blacked out in the bathroom after getting sick. She awoke in the bathroom to find Saucido raping her, she told police, and she screamed in pain before blacking out again.

...

"(The friend) knocked on the bathroom door, as it was believed that (the woman) was inside. After a moment ... (the friend) heard the bathroom door open and saw Saucido look out, then close and lock the door again," the affidavit says. "Once Saucido opened the door, (the friend) saw (the woman) was in there with him. (The friend) said Saucido carried (the woman) to the taxi."

...

Half an hour later, the friend and boyfriend heard noises coming from the living room, the affidavit says. The boyfriend went to investigate and found Saucido again having sex with the woman, who was still passed out face down on the couch, the affidavit says.

...

On police request, the victim agreed to a recorded phone call to Saucido, during which she asked him about the assault, the affidavit says. The papers say Saucido told her during the call that while the incident was happening, he thought to himself, "I don't know what ... I'm doing. I need to sober up."

When a virus or bacteria or some other lifeform that causes pain,immense pain, sickness for the others and that serves no purpose is present it should be eradicated.
I feel the same way about the bubonic plague or ebola as I do about rapists. I don't hate them. I don't want revenge. They should just be wipe clean from this earth.
Date rapers are especially broken. They are cowardly weasels who use words,lies and deny what they are until the victim is incapacitated. Their words mean nothing. Their words are what allowed them to be close to their victims in the first place. Their brain programing has a defect.It needs to be deleted.
If they are sorry? Good for them. Their brain programing has a defect.It needs to be deleted just the same.
