GRUDGE REMATCH: Gordan Ryan vs Jordan Tabor 2!

My point is that I had my sigs and was good to go when they wanted an additional $1600, at which point all hell broke lose. Now you want me to get an additional set of signatures then send those BACK into the guy that tried to rip me off the first time I sent the signatures in? Why?

I'd also like to point out that this is the same guy from Sherdog's last belt scandal. Remember Sam Osman? Hell, remember Hillary Williams? It's time to stop appeasing Carlos Gracie Jr.
 
Jordan, you got screwed by "Vinny" because he saw you as what you really are: someone who is easily manipulated, someone who can be easily distracted by a "conspiracy theory" against him, someone who would blame and complain about the "system" instead of the actual individual that screwed him out of his money. It was a horrible thing for this "Vinny" to do, since he clearly saw how easily you could be fooled and manipulated. That' why you got scammed Jordan.
 
Do you guys argue with dogs as well? Newborn children? Adult humans outfitted in bicycle helmets? How do you not understand that he is not going to "get it"? Is beating your head into a wall fun for you guys?
 
well fuck the ibjjf, compete at ADCC man, who cares? abu dhabi pro? why not?
 
You guys should stop its like feeding sugar to a Type 1 diabetic kid with a spoon.

I just feel sorry for the guy honestly....
 
You realise that you do not need the IBJJF certification in order to compete in any IBJJF events.

All you need is your $35 IBJJF ID card.

You can get your ID card without being IBJJF certified.

For example, I am IBJJF certified and I also have a IBJJF membership card.

My friend is not IBJJF certified but I signed for his IBJJF membership card application (even thought he is 1 degree higher than me). He is now an IBJJF member and his card said BB 1 degree.

According to the IBJJF website, there is only 2 thousands BBs that are certified by them in the world. and that includes their USA and Brasil overseas etc..


Exactly! But don't worry. He'll find a new excuse. I've told him this multiple times!
 
holy shit, thi is worst than arguing with a religuus nutcase. I believe in the Bible because is the word of God" and which prove do you have that backs is the word of god, "the bible"...

holy shit.
 
Exactly! But don't worry. He'll find a new excuse. I've told him this multiple times!

Forgot to mention that I also registered my own school/team with the IBJJF so we do not have to compete under anyone else flag: free from any affililiation bs.

If it was BTT, then BTT can take responsibility for it. If it was Carlos, then Carlos can take responsibility for it. I'm not on the hook for this money. I just flat out don't owe it.

A new excuse for what? IBJJF is the one tripping on registration, not me.

Before, after or during your black belt promotion? If you try to do it during, it wont work.

Basically. I don't owe an extra 1600. It will NEVER be paid. Ever. You can't change my mind.
 
And frankly, we could never be friends even if I got this mess resolved. It's not who I am. You all seem like bullies, thugs and elitists. I'd rather fight you than befriend you. This shit should've stopped at Cassio Werneck, but you cowards stood by. It should've stopped at Hillary Williams, but you cowards stood by. Should've stopped at Sam Osman, but you cowards stood by. This is the last IBJJF rank drama. It ends here.

But to answer your question, in order to register a school with the IBJJF, you need to be IBJJF certified.

Maybe a IBJJF member could register his own team but I do not have the answer as I am certified so I never had that problem.

It kind of make sense that the IBJJF would only recognise school run by their certified BB or at least a BB IBJJF member instead of recognising any random dude deciding to claim to be a BJJ BB.

I had to register my own gym after getting forced out of my old affiliation because they tripled my monthly affiliation fee which I declined and became independent.

Otherwise, I was a "loyal" for many years.
 
I was between brown and black when the drama started. They caught me between ranks and used the promotion as a hammer to get more money. If you're already promoted, they have no leverage. Unless you're Sam Osman, at which point they fuck you regardless. They tried to get me between ranks. As if that's legit.
 
I was legitimately going to beat his ass, until I talked to a few people, and realized I would be assaulting a literal retard.
No disrespect intended,but aren't you like a featherweight Purple or something? You were going to beat a welterweight Blackbelt competitor's ass then decided at the last minute, you didn't feel like it? You should have left that part out man.
 
The disturbing part is that he was going to, in his words, "assault" me. Was he going to find me at work or at home? I'm armed in both places.

Knowing about all the possible dramas, I did one thing to protect myself.

At brown belt, I became a IBJJF member. I emailed all my certificates and once they accept me, I paid USD 35 for the plastic card.

Then I told my instructor that IF he was to promote me to BB one day (I did NOT ask for a promotion), I will want to get my IBJJF certification as a BB.

I asked him if he was entitled to sign for my application.

He said yes but he also added that I do need IBJJF certification as he will always sign for me and my students etc..

But being the independent person that I am, I always wanted to be able to stand on my 2 foots and be able to sign for my own students.

So I became an IBJJF certified BB because I ensure that my instructor could provide with the endorsement.

If IBJJF certification is that important to you, seek to train under an IBJJF 2 degrees certified by all means to avoid any disappointment.

I think the person that "tried" to promote you to BB was in no position to promote you to BB and he tried to scam you into paying for "his" affiliation fees.
