lmao
Flash Bolden!
Apparently he actually called himself that!? Too funny.

Flash Bolden!
Where did the Bolden name come from anyway?
not sure about that.
It is his job as he makes money of it.
he got a tatoo of a trademark.
he does not even train under them.
This is key. The people I trained under before finding the legit gym I train at now had Gracie Barra stuff hanging all over the place...no affiliation with them at all.
They just cling to the things that are popular or that they associate with BJJ without actually knowing anything about it.
I'd be torqued if I was the current person ranking him up, seeing that he's got some other affiliation on his arm. "If you want that tattoo....go get them to give you your next belt."

Rumor is that he didn't want to sound Jewish, although I don't know if that is the real reason. He currently goes by Ari Bolden Knazan.
If that was the real reason, then I think he overlooked the "Ari" part! What's the big deal anyway? Nothing wrong with a bit of Jew Jitsu.

Ari is a Scandinavian name. Unless there's another version of it.
You guys know he's a cop now, right?

Awesome. I'm sure he will continue to display his outstanding ethics and moral code in the line of duty.
Like I said, I don't think he is trying to hide being Jewish, that is just what some people believe.
I believe he started using another name to try to keep his real name clean. It is pretty common among scammers and other shady characters.
this guy is terrible. his technique looks awful. he's definitely not a brown belt. i have 12 year old kids who move better than that.
