How the hell do you guys know?

Does your instructor tell you?

All I know is he trained at Gracie Barra at some point, and we are not gracie barra so he doesn't focus on it.
 
Since people are mentioning previous instructors:
Received my blue belt---> Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Vinicius Magalh

Is he a blackbelt?A higher blackbelt has to promote someone to blackbelt.So it kinda goes who gave him his blackbelt and who gave the blackbelt to the instructor that promoted your instructor and so on and so forth.Eventually it'll get back to a guy from Brazil.There are alot of blackbelts that will start a school but they won't advertise an affiliation because they would have to pay association fees.

Yeah 1 degree BB.

Okay done some research,

Rickson Gracie or Carlos Gracie Jr. > Jorge Pereira > Paulo Guimaraes > Fabio Glazer > HIMBOB.


I say Rickson or Carlos as I am not sure how you would interpret “Black Belt - 6th DAN ( Graduated by Rickson Gracie and Carlos Gracie Jr.)”

Back in the day it was common for it to take two black belts to award a black belt. Now I think any 3rd degree can award them.
 
Carlson Gracie--->Ryan Gracie---->Mauricio Alonso---> me : D
 
Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Helio Gracie > Royce Gracie > Rob Kahn > Brian McLaughlin > Me
 
Mitsuyo "Count Koma" Maeda → Carlos Gracie, Sr. → Helio Gracie → Rolls Gracie → Romero "Jacar
 
Some guys and their sons from Brazil. I think the last name is Gracie? That sound familiar to anyone?
