Received my black belt in Brazilian JiuJitsu this afternoon from my coach Sebastiao Torres. This is the single greatest achievement I’ve ever gotten and one I’ll be proud of for the rest of my life. Ended brown belt ranked 7th in the world in my division, bigger challenges ahead.

Absolutely not a judge, and love a good body triangle / back control. If you have the back for 4 minutes, barely land a strike and don't attempt a submission. While you're eating shots from the guy who has his back taken for 4 minutes. You shouldn't win that round 10-9.
