I heard he is the youngest american black belt. He got it from Pedro Sauer. I was told about stories of him beating many blackbelts when he was 16 or 17 years old. Has anyone one here trained with him?
Yes, I attend the same school.
There's a highlight vid of him competing on this page ...

I had heard that he was down in Brazil training w/ Jacare for a while.
Soup- Tell me about his game. Does he like to work from the top or the guard? is he competing in the pan ams? Has he ever won them or the mundials. thanks.
knockout - He works well from both top and bottom. I think he prefers
the top game. He's very athletic and flexible and likes to do very unique
techniques that a lot of us are just not capable of doing.
If I'm not mistaken he's trained under Pedro since he was around 7 or 8.
So he didn't do a five year to blackbelt deal. He's been traing for a very
long time.
Yes, he was training with Jacare for a while.
As far as his accomplishments. I'm not sure of all of them but he's won
just about everything he's competed in. Did Mundials as a brown last year
and lost a close first match. And I do believe he is attending Pan Ams
