Visiting Kron's Gym? Leave Your Belt at Home

Postby Masato » Tue Apr 04, 2017 12:37 am

Hey all

found this interesting

If you train at Kron's gym you don't get to wear your belt, they give you some other belt.

If you show up at Kron Gracie’s school, and you haven’t earned your belt from either him or his father Rickson, you have to wear a belt with a white running up the middle of it.

Recently, BJJ black belt Brian Anthony Mendez posted a picture of himself at Kron’s Academy. When asked why his belt had a lengthwise white strip going up it, Anthony explained that he had to wear one at Kron’s school:

At Krons school if you show up there and you didn’t get your rank from Kron or Rickson Gracie you have to where stripe on your belt

Shortly after, one of Kron’s brown belts explained the reasoning behind the rule.

My brother got me a camo belt cuz I told him I was rolling again and that I feel like Im sandbagging when rolling with other white belts. I keep it in the gym bag.

^ that is very cool DB, lol

I know a few guys who look ridiculous in a white belt, but can't legit claim anything else either. Your solution is perfect

Carlos Newton used to roll in a camo belt too back in the day. Yeah he’d be ridiculous in a white belt fo sho, destroying purple belts in 1997.
