Are there any black belts in Salt Lake City? I met one who says he doesn't believe in the gis so it sounded kinda like bs to me. So if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. And if anyone knows how to get a hold of Jeremy Horn, please let me know.
Eddie munds is a BB under Pedro Sauer. Mark Gampe is also but I believe he moved to Minnesota although I can not confirm that. There are a couple other guys who are BB under Pedro also.
What was the name of the guy you met
Griffen I think. I mean He seamed like he knew his shit but I have never heard of a black belt, other than bravo, who doesn't like the gi.
but are those guys in slc?

how far are these places from cottonwood heights
rob handly is a bb under winner behring. My instructor is a brown under him and he is very good.
how close are these places to liberty park
Eddie is very close to liberty park perhaps a 15 walk. I think the adress is something like 635 E and it is just past 2100 south.
Griffen is a very good grappler from what I understand. I have never trained with him but people I really respect have spoken highly of him. That said, and I am not trying to start a fire storm, he is not truely a BB in BJJ as far as I am aware. I am NOT saying that his No gi grappling isn't that level but rather that to the best of my knowledge he has never recieved a BB from another BJJ BB.
He has a BB from Walt Bayless in Walt's system of grappling.
If you are by Liberty Park Eddie is right by you. The gymhe teaches at is the nicest I have ever been to. It has weights, and two incredible Muay Thai instrutors. One is a legend in MT and the other a former WBC boxing champ. www.thaiboxutah.com I believe the website is rather outdated but it has some pictures of the gym and contact info I think.
