@dielegende you're probably right, i just gotta say, you become a BB pretty quick picking all these fights. good luck next weekend my friend, hopefully you'll be joining the club!

the truth is we didn't expect black belt to be able to be reached so quickly.  in the original planning we weren't really thinking we'd have weekends with 10, 15 events each. but then it just made sense.

the points pile up quickly!

hoping to join this club by my birthday next month.  that is the goal, but I won't start doing rankings just to get it.  Posts and fight points til I get that sum*****, then do some rankings.

Yeah, it took me 4 months and 19 days since joining and I didn't even pick all the fights or post much for the first two months. You'll be there soon, Lopati. A good weekend now equals some 5000 points, if not more. Plus the posts, ribbons, thumbs, rankings...

I'm thinking we're going to 8 stripes before the new belt is revealed.  I noticed that the fifth is on the left tail of the belt.  Gotta fill that side.

there will be a small Tapology earthquake. last time when i was three points to 5th stripe i could not get the three points to get me there. gregory had to do something to let Tapology inner workings get me there. he will have fair warning this time. i think i will have it on march 15th or 16th.

It's gonna be a 6th stripe then a black and red belt, it's followed BJJ ranks the whole entire way I don't see Greg changing it, although he might. But with that said I now have me 2nd stipe!
