Arne Kringstad

Oslo-based Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt whose BeltChecker profile traces his teachers back through Teta Rios to Carlson Gracie.

Biography

Arne Kringstad, born in 1982, is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt based in Oslo, Norway. What is known about him comes from his BeltChecker profile. It gives his affiliation as Frontline Academy and his academy as Frontline Hasle, with Alvaro Ribeiro named in the academy entry. The same profile sets out his teaching line. His own instructors are given as Renato Tavares De Moraes and Alvaro Ribeiro. Above them the line passes through Eduardo "Teta" Rios and Ricardo Libório to Carlson Gracie, and from there through Helio Gracie and Carlos Gracie Sr. back to Mitsuyo Maeda. His black belt carries a community verification on the site. When the profile was read in September 2026, it counted twelve years and eleven months of training since his first belt was entered.
