Today I have received e-mail from Eric. Those of who trains @ Toronto BJJ may have had chance to roll with him before he went to Japan presumably to teach English, but who knows what his motives were. :)
Anyways, allow me to share couple of passages from the said e-mail.
"Today there was a nova uniao tournament - all the schools -(4) come together and compete against each other. I defeated my first opponent by trapping him with an inverted triangle - and made him tap to an armbar thing :P it was more of a kimura tho..but his body was off the ground.. i then got a by the next round and won my third match by points. a couple of take downs etc :)" and,
"So i got GOLD and my BLUE belt!!!
That's right peeps. Eric is now Nova Uniao BLUE Belt.
Everybody please do check in this thread to say congrats.!!!!
Congrats bro.
