graduation brazil 250 mp  april 2009.jpg

4 new BJJ Black Belts in our Jiu Jitsu Family! It was a big accomplishment for these 4 brazilian students. They've been training under me for about 10 year. It was a very special cerimony. Congrats for Leo Lompreta, Andrey, Quick and Joao Herdy "Pit Bull".

During this trip to Brazil I also promoted 2 american students (from my academy in Indy) to their Purple Belts. Scott Gibson and Jonathan Correa were traveling with me in Brazil to visit my affiliated academy in Rio de Janeiro. Black Belt promotion are recognition of all the knoledge have made through hard work and training. It is a truly inspiring to think how big our BJJ Association will be in another 10 years!
