yeah, I've only been training since january, as a loyal 3 time a weeker, though. The 3rd stripe is just around the corner, I'm sure, and then fuck, its all down hill from there.jerseygrappler said:infamous mattyd,your is coming soon bro,hang in there

Though I am a Renzo whore, I know nothing of Ze having 2 BBs. I would love to hear the story though.jjmuaythaiguy said:Ze' is the MAN! Not only is he a bad ass bjj / no gi grappler / instructor / person, but that guy is funny and down to earth. He came to Hawaii last year to help judge the competition, injured, then decided to compete and won his division! We had a afterparty and all he did was talk about ME! He told me what I was doing right, what looked wrong, but more importantly he just talked about me and my training, Relson and what else, surfing. Ze' is super awesome and now two time bjj black belt. I forget who gave him his first but think Infamous Mattyd will know.

jjmuaythaiguy said:In a thread called "Happy Birthday Renzo" 3-11-05: Sakufan wrote that Ze' was given a black belt by Crolin about five years ago at Gracie Barra but he wanted it from Renzo, put that black belt in a drawer and moved to New York to train under Renzo.
I'm sure he just wanted the honor to get promoted to black by Renzo or something. No debate is needed, afterall, Renzo is a black belt from Gracie Barra, plus they have probably one of the best BJJ fighters come from there. Look at Roger Gracie.Rip Van Winkle said:Does this imply that Gracie Barra = belt factory? I mean if he was a Gracie Barra black belt 5 years ago, refused to wear it and went to Renzo's and it took him 5 more years to get it from Renzo?
let the debate begin.
