In a recent article on GRACIEMAG.com, revelation Michel Langhi celebrated his world title at brown belt and accepted the possibility of being promoted to black. And that’s just what happened. Still in California, Little Langhi received his new belt from the hands of Rubens Cobrinha, a GMA of ours.

Now the Alliance representative, besides his double celebrations, is getting ready to soar even higher, against Jiu-Jitsu’s greats.

“For sure it was the best trip of my life! After getting the finish in all four of my matches at the Worlds and closing out my division with my teammate, today I got my black belt from the hands of Rubens Charles “Cobrinha Maciel! It’s an honor to get the promotion from someone who’s my idol and friend! Osssssss!” posted Little Langhi on his Facebook page.

    Congrats. I saw a video of Marcelo Garcia where he was saying that he needs one more year to give out a blackbelt. Is Cobrinha higher ranked than Marcelo?

      Icon, you need to be a second degree black belt to give out a black belt. This means six years as a black belt (three years each degree). Rubens Charles has been a black belt since 2006. Marcelo Garcia has been a black belt since 2003. Thanks!

        Some do three years, some do five years, some do whenever. Are you aware of Terere’s stance on black belt degrees or Jacare/Fabio’s?
