Pretty solid crew at JJGF headquarters today, Rickson Gracie, Royler Gracie, Kron Gracie, Luis Heredia, Pedro Sauer, Romolo Barros, Rodrigo Vaghi, Chris Saunders, David Kama, Jean Jacque Machado, Tony Pacenski, David Terry, Eric Silver, Harold Harder, Craig Husband, Caique Elias, Fernando Fayzano, Taka Watanabe and me. The goal of the Federation is to put Jiu-Jitsu back on course for what it was originally intended by sharing the knowldge of self defense techniques with all the Jiu-Jitsu practioners in the world.​

I guess I need to put some stripes on my belt now.​
