Sorry to answer the questions I wrote this in Facebook. Sorry I've been a chronic lurker, I used to post more as "Alder"

I started with traditional martial arts, then went to JJ Machado's in 1996, from there I went to Renato Magno's and got my blue, from there I got with Eddie Bravo in 2005. I started coaching a lot in 2009, opened my school in 2010 as a brown and got my black now.

Lots of injuries have kept me off the matts consistently in the last couple years. Bad back, blew out my knee frayed meniscus, perforated my eardrum, broke my hands, broken ribs, rotator cuff injury, and the regular stuff along the way. Phone Post 3.0

Congrats!

Congrats! That's a wonderful achievement and a true testimony of hard working and sticking to jiu jitsu.

(I suspect when I get my black belt, it will be about 20 years for me as well)
