This list represents current students who have advanced belt ranks awarded by Jean Jacques Machado. Black Belt ranks may include students who are no longer current, as a result their rank is recognized from the point in which they stopped training. Black Belt degrees are only awarded to students who remain active within the Jean Jacques Machado Association.
Inquiries regarding individuals claiming rank under Jean Jacques Machado, but not appearing on this list (or rank that differs from what is listed), may be directed to the Academy for verification.
