On Monday, December 3rd I proudly promoted two of my students Alonzo Fears and Carl von dem Bussche to Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Both have trained under me directly for the past 15 years. They spent months preparing for their test which included technical review, instruction and live drills which all were intended to push them to and beyond their limits. Both men performed extremely well and were awarded their BJJ Black belts under the TNT BJJ Federation.
