	"Promoting instructor Felipe didn't get his 2:nd degree BB until June 2, 2021, according to his own Beltchecker profile, so couldn't/shouldn't have been the actual promoting instructor. If it was actually Michelle who promoted you to BB (with Felipe as "junior co-promoter"), change your promotion history to reflect that and provide evidence and I will gladly up vote you!"

	"I have known Matt for several years now. He is as a super nice guy who loves Judo, Jiu Jitsu and all things grappling, health and fitness related! Matt is a great teacher who is always looking to better himself. It was an honour to promote him as my second black belt under the supervision of my coach Michelle Nicolini! And yes I just promoted him to 1st Degree black belt also with the blessing of Coach Nicolini." VERIFIED +175 pts 3 month(s) ago Comments
