Carcass Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've already been told that I'd be laughed at for wearing a blue belt awarded by Royce...word is that he gives them out like sweets. Still, well done lads. Did anyone ask him about drugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardquinn Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 i wudnt fancy saying that to the lads who got them today, he only gave 3 bue belts out today and stripes to 2 people i think so it isnt that easy to get a blue belt from him, no no-one asked about the drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANVIL Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've already been told that I'd be laughed at for wearing a blue belt awarded by Royce...word is that he gives them out like sweets. Still, well done lads. Did anyone ask him about drugs? here we go again... it's not just people from royce gracie clubs who get blue belts from royce - the guy's a legend - maybe he's just looking for different qualities than what other people are looking for. if you read ultimate fighting techniques vol.1, he's quite explicit about what level he thinks a blue belt is at. if other people disagree with him, then perhaps they should take it up with him? i got my blue belt from royce and i've trained elsewhere since, and no one has laughed at me; and on the same day that i got my blue belt, so did one of the GB Sheffield 'stalwarts' - i noticed in one of your posts you kindly provided GB Sheffield's new address, so perhaps you could pop down there and see if he gets laughed at. perhaps the people who've told you what they have should have the balls to take it up with royce themselves instead of disregarding other people's achievements and hard work, or alternatively, perhaps other black belts should address the matter with him? either way, i wouldn't want to train at any club where it's commonplace to laugh at hard work and achievement. well done to all those that graded - i know from experience it's well deserved.

LankyMan_BJJ Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi Carcass "I've already been told that I'd be laughed at for wearing a blue belt awarded by Royce...word is that he gives them out like sweets. Still, well done lads" Paraphrased......your achievements are worthless, but well done anyway! Thanks for that resounding bit of praise, much appreciated!!!! Carcass, are you a person that: 1) Believes and repeats everything that they are told? 2) Prefers to make informed opinions from their own experiences? I would like to think that your above post was just a bout of verbal diarrhoea and that you would actually prefer to make informed opinions. Therefore, it would be great if you could pop in to train at Royce Gracie Yorkshire/Derbysire, see what you think of the club and then come back to the forum and post your own thoughts, be they good or bad. Note. This is an invitation, not some petty threat, please come and see for yourself. Sheffield Royce Gracie BJJ is a really friendly club (with some half decent fighters too). Chris P.S. Im off on holiday soon, so will not be checking posts etc etc. if you have any querises ask Mark (bjj monkey), Harry Glitter (rage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_pj_ Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks to all those who organised another great seminar and allowing us from Tim Maskrey's club to come along. I (Paul Morrison) also received my blue belt from Royce yesterday. Having gained belts (including black) in other martial arts, I can definitely say this is the hardest belt I have ever worked for. To the cynics I would endorse Chris's comment; go and train with the guys who have got blue belts from Royce and see what it really means. Anymore seminars plannned this year? Thanks again.
