4. Jay Queiroz
Mike Palladino, head instructor at Evolution BJJ, discovered Jay Queiroz’s business cards at a local barber shop and decided to investigate. Queiroz was claiming to be a BJJ black belt under the GFTeam. Palladino did some digging and discovered not only was Queiroz a terrible instructor, he also was not a black belt.
Turns out he was a purple belt, but was making some fairly boisterous claims to his students. Palladino documented his exposing of Queiroz via the magic of YouTube.
I’m always blown away by this. I’ve got 20 years of martial arts training and do you know what I always say when I walk into a school? Treat me like a white belt. Seriously… any time you walk into a school where you want to learn, start from the bottom, and never assume you know a lot. A lot of these guys would have saved themselves some serious embarrassment by simply telling the truth and humbling themselves.
And as for Kiai mastery… it’s a myth, guys. Anyone claiming they can control someone completely using only ‘energy’ is depending on the other person as an accomplice. It’s kinda ridiculous that people even claim it works, let alone pitting themselves against professional fighters to prove it.
