Yes she passed away but ask after he left for 2 weeks or so he came back and was pretty much kicked out of the gym he was teaching at. He didn't specify exact details but he pretty much had to find a new training home. Phone Post 3.0

Wow. Good to hear. Didn't know if he would train on the Carlos side of the family. Glad they just train and don't care about that stuff. Phone Post 3.0

How my brain works: "Animals over there...awe that's good news he moved and took his dog/cat with him!"

...but you were probably talking about training partners Phone Post 3.0

I believe that Tareq just recently got his black belt. At least that's what I think I saw. I know he was a brown forever. Phone Post 3.0
