[h1]One more card, that can choke you out.[/h1]
Black Belts, time to get registered with the IBJJF. Once that was a certificate only sport has now moved to a more formal registration process for all Black Belts, and why shouldn’t it. Most franchises require the same standard in other martial arts, but is this for the good of the sport. Read below and you decide.
Will this make the Black Belt a more secure title, or is it a revenue generating mechanism? Those registered for the 2010 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship will get a complimentary card, but probably not in the future..
