White Belt
R1 Training Center. Been training BJJ since late 1993 and wrestling since 2000. I help Andy Wang teach BJJ at R1
Hi Shen:
Since I am under Andy now, it is up to him to rank me. Ever since I left the Machados and took up wrestling to compliment my BJJ, I gave up the ranking that was given to me by Rigan Machado.
Nothing against the Machados, it's just the direction I've taken, and I'm sure Rigan would agree, that if he noticed the way I play and interpret BJJ today, it would not resemble anything in his curriculum.
