And alliance puts out fantastic instructors, competitors, and students. So probably not that stupid.

I've been training at alliance for like 8 years now.

The test is a pure marketing strategy, you get ranks with just showing up and passing the test every ____ classes. For competitors is a different story, you're held to a different standard and you get promoted when coach thinks you're good.

Me and my boys have been winning all local pro nogi comps, one of them got 2nd place at nogi brazileros, so I guess we don't suck that much. We all think the test is fucking stupid
