ttt for my guys. . .

Yeah, after trying to avoid it like the plague, I got the brown on Saturday. Gotta keep training hard to live up to it; I'm in some serious company now.

Unfortunately, I also have a broken hand (just had surgery today) from training Vale-Tudo last week.

Nothing sucks more than getting a promotion and not being able to tie the belt.

Congrats Donald!

Thanks guys. But the big props should go to my students. They're going to be as good as I am now in half the time it took me.

Great teammates and students to have. Remember their names and look for them in the future.
