A few in the world have had the opportunity to personally watch a match between two coral belts, facebook page Jiu-Jitsu UFRJ – Team Minerva made it a point to record this moment to share with those who will never have that honor!
It Was Kron Gracie Who Promoted Rickson Gracie To Coral Belt in 2009
When a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt reaches the seventh degree, he or she is awarded an alternating red-and-black belt similar to the one earned at the sixth degree in Judo. This belt is commonly known as a coral belt. Coral belts are very experienced practitioners, most of whom have made a large impact on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and are often addressed within the art by the title master.
Master Fabio Oliveira and Claudio Marculino made a great and honest contest. Both demonstrated the best in the human being, respect and humility. Enjoy and learn with the masters !!!
Besides this one another similar match was recorded a while back – among BJJ coral belts Mestres Vladir Ferreira and Adivaldo Batista
