"Incorrect promoting instructor in promotion history for black belt. The certificate clearly states that Yoshihiro Fujita was the promoting instructor. If you correct your promotion history, this down vote will automatically be removed. If you also add a picture clearly showing you with Yoshihiro Fujita, I'll also gladly up vote."

Looks updated now: Clearly has certificate signed by Enrique Watson, AND Yoshihiro Fijuta.

Signed by both but stated that Fujita is the promoting instructor. Also the only one of them having the degree to promote anyone to black belt.

"I don’t know him personally, but there is plenty of documentation and photographic evidence that clearly shows he is a legitimate brown belt. His promotion is well-deserved. Earning a black belt takes years of hard work, discipline, and commitment to the art. Congratulations on reaching this milestone."

"Great all around Coach and training partner. I’ve trained with him for 6 years and grew up with him as my coach. I can say without a doubt he is as legit as they come. He’s helped me rise to many challenges both on and off the mat. Recently helped coach me through my purple belt debut and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to train under him. Oss!"
