Dear BJJ-ASIA readers. I received this announcement from the Checkmat Malaysia Team requesting that I post this as I have in the past to protect students from fraud. The Nucleo JJ Team has been contacted about this matter already. -Luke

It has come to our attention that one of our former students who trained at Checkmat Malaysia from December 2010 - January 2011 is now claiming the rank of purple belt in BJJ, and has opened a school in Xi'An, China. This person, Dan Adamant, started his BJJ training with us 6 months ago, as a completely new white belt, with matching white belt skills.
It comes as a complete shock to us that he is now wearing a brand new purple belt within such a short time frame. We would like to officially state that this person is not affiliated with Checkmat BJJ in any way, even though he has a picture of himself wearing a gi with a Checkmat patch on his Facebook page.
He has also officially claimed affiliation with Equipe Nucleo Jiujitsu, who via one of their black belts, Rhuando Brandao, have stated that they did not give him the rank of purple belt, or any rank for that matter. He will need to explain himself to relevant parties.
We are sending this note out to inform the community about this person and the mentioned team. If he feels the need to clear the air, he is most welcome, in fact, he is obliged to do so. He will need to explain his training history, how he obtained a purple belt within a 6 month time frame, and the instructor who awarded the belt to him.
We feel that it is extremely important for us to clarify this situation, as we do not want to be associated with this person or school in any manner. Thanks.

马来西亚CHECKMAT官方声明对于前者学生涉嫌欺诈
亲爱的BJJ-ASIA读者， 我已经收到Checkmat 马来西亚分部的通知，他们要求我发布以下声明，以保护学生们不受欺诈。为此事我已联系了Nucleo JJ Team。-Luke
我们已经注意到,一个曾在Checkmat马来西亚分部训练的学生（2010年12月- 2011年1月）现在声称自己是巴柔紫带,并且在中国西安开设了一个巴柔道馆。这个人叫Dan Adamant,于6个月前开始他的巴西柔术的培训,从巴柔技术上说，是个完全的白带。
这让我们很震惊,在这么短的时间内，他居然带上了紫带。我们想正式声明这个人与Checkmat没有任何关系,虽然他在Facebook的页面上有一张穿着带有Checkmat标志的道服。
此人还声称,他通过一位黑带（Rhuando Brandao）的介绍，也加入Nucleo Equipe Jiujitsu,但是Nucleo Equipe Jiujitsu现在声明他们并没有给他巴柔紫带,或任何其他带位。他需要向各方解释这些重大的事情。
我们已经将此消息通报给了所有相关的个人和巴柔团队。如果这个“紫带”觉得需要澄清一下,他是最受欢迎的,事实上,他不得不这样做。他需要解释他训练的历史,是如何在6个月的时间内就获得了紫带,并且是由哪位老师颁发的紫带。
我们认为澄清这件事对我们非常重要,我们不愿意与这个人或者他的巴柔道馆有任何关系。谢谢。
