These pics were from the IBJJF Masters Worlds. I didn't have a chance to post them before I lost my phone. I won a gold medal in the ultra heavy purple belt division. My professor promoted me to the rank of brown belt, "faixa marrom", on the podium. This was a moment I envisioned and worked very hard for! This bjj journey has been amazing. Next stop, black belt!!! What a beautiful marathon. I want to give a HUGE "OBRIGADO" to my good friend and Brazilian jiu-jitsu Professor @andre_gbchampionsforest for all of his time and support! We did it!
