Longtime forum member Pink Singlet, aka Matt Hamilton, has achieved the Holy Grail of Brazilian Jujitsu - faixa preta/black belt! Matt's lineage is Toni Emanuel via Andre Pederneiras via Carlson Gracie Sr.
For those of you who haven't gotten the chance to meet him, Matt is an ideal instructor: an experienced veteran of ADCC and Shooto with lots of first-hand experience, thorough, detailed-oriented, patient, and with a great sense of humor.
Matt is an asset to Nova Uniao Jujitsu, the Arkansas martial arts community, but most of all, to his students.

Mike #2 where you been hellfire, we sure miss ya.
Ronnie, thanks for the props, and i want you to know that i talked with Renzo this weekend and he agreed with me that the secret to good BJJ is "KATA"
Roli, my dawg,....my student, my training partner, my teammate and my friend,....and hopefully one day i can get a peek at Jenny's boobs : )
Stephan, thanks for the props. You were an inspiration to me; the first guy i saw with my own eyes that had BOTH size AND technique. Reminds me of the old saying, "When large and talented meets small and talented, small and talented is often injured."
And everyonelse that i dont know personally thanks for the "ttt's" and the congrats.

thanks guys, matt
Congrats :-)
I've been busy with school and just started a summer internship at UAMS. Hopefully I'll be able to start training with you guys again sometime in August. My cardio really sucks now so I'm gonna have to start working out before I start back so I can start training again, lol.
Since you are going to marry a Brazilian, does this mean you are going to change the spelling of your last name to Ramilton?
Congrats!!!
Congratulations!
