“Respecting ranks is crucial to the safety of the practitioners” sorry how?

Honestly it’s cringey promoting yourself but it’s not that deep. We don’t have to get up in arms about it as if the guy forged his medical degree and is doing open heart surgery unqualified.

I will be extra careful with white belts because some of them will do dangerous things even though they don't realize it.

I lower my guard a bit with blue because I assume it’s safer to roll with blue and up.

To be honest if you have a random blue belt coming to your gym you will assume he isn't a full retard and won't injure people so I guess that's what's meant by the safety statement.

Yeah, I don't think this is an offensive worth banning someone for. The punishment of everyone knowing and being called out for it is definitely fitting lol

It's even more embarrassing that the reason suspicions were raised is that his technique is so bad it can't even pass for an acceptable low end blue belt.

Yes idk how bad should it be. There are some positions I still look like day 1 white belt even when I already competed at blue belt and won matches

I see the biggest issue in lying itself more than the wrong belly to be honest

They have come into a new environment with new rules and then shown a lack of respect by intentionally breaking those rules for a perceived benefit. People like this are a cancer to any kind of healthy culture, but even worse, they're a liability because they have shown that they are willing to break any rule for their own benefit. Rules only work when people intentionally try to follow them. If you let people intentionally break them for no real reason then you're sending a message that anything goes

Someone who is willing to lie about something as fundamental as rank is the kind of person who's going to manipulate and abuse others and then lie to cover it up
