I live in a small city in northwest Missouri. A guy named Jason "Chico" Talbot just opened a place and is making all kinds of crazy claims, including earning a black belt from a Renzo Gracie black belt student. He supposedly did this in California. Anyone know who this guy is?
Of course he ran through all the other typical BS - he has 7 black belts in various styles, has traveled the country training at various facilities, competes in underground fights, etc. He calls himself a pankration fighter. Just trying to debunk this dbag...
He is actually a ninja from ancient times. He used a secret system of meditation to travel to our time and soon will set his diabolical plot into motion to poison the worlds water supply so he can eat the souls of the dead and fufil the ancient prophecy of his clan.
Ok... actually I have no idea who it is...I made that stuff up.
I have a few black belts, also a brown belt, a red belt, a white belt, .... hmm oh yea a see thru belt! I just like to have my belt match the color I'm wearing.. no big deal & I didn't get em from a Gracie, I wonder if their cheaper than WalMart???
gzbull is right, there aren't any Renzo BBs except Shawn out there in Caly. I think he has some brown belts and and I know one BB that is out there by the name of the Crusher, but he is in CA with Shawn.
St. Joseph, MO. The guy doesn't have a website that I can find. He just opened his place a couple of months ago. It gets better too - he has a regular class which is open to the public for $100 a month, and he has (and I quote) "an elite class" for only his best guys. He didn't give a price but said it's by invitation only. I talked him into letting me come in and watch one of his "elite" classes sometime. Maybe I'll get to roll with one of these elite fighters of his...
I told a few friends that when I go in I'm going to start by telling him that I fight in some underground fights in Kansas City (which is what he told my friends), and then just keep adding absurdities until he tries to call BS on me.
Man, maybe I should just challenge him to roll. I should just go to the "elite" class, act excited to be there, and ask to roll with him, or his top "elite" student. lol if I get my ass kicked...
