From the files of possibly fictional BJJ "Black Belts": Paredes Jiu-Jitsu in Cary, NC.
From the school's website:
"Paredes Jiu-Jitsu classes are taught by Sensei James Paredes, a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner of 15 years. Paredes Jiu-Jitsu is a hybrid of Kosen Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."
And of course, below, we have a vague telling of a tale no less unbelievable than when Van Damme breaks into the ninja's house at the beginning of Bloodsport...then a secret ceremony where Paredes is handed a black belt by a number of nameless mentors. It must have taken place in a dark, stone room, lined with old men with beards, no doubt.

"Driven by passion for the correct way of practice in the martial arts, James Paredes, son of Benito Lim Paredes and grandchild of Alfredo Paredes, diligently studied jujitsu. Year by Year, Season by Season, James Sensei as he is now called took countless private lessons from various mentors to take up specific aspects of the art. after handed a black belt by his mentors, he began to create and form his own style and brand."
There's an entire thread over at Jiujitsuforums.com devoted to his alleged background
A video of the the Paredes' techniques shown by students of the man, the myth, the legend, after the Jump.
