Got that BlackBelt!!

Sun Aug 05, 2012 6:22 am

[

Mood: Shocked ]

I was recently promoted to Black Belt by Pablo Popovitch and Vagner Rocha. I started this journey at the age of 33. Now nearing forty it gives me a great sense of pride. We all know Jiu Jitsu is tough. I wanted to give it up so many times. There were so many reasons to quit. I was having financial difficulties often. There were times I felt like I was too small(5'6" 135), or I was getting to old for this. Now that I have reached this point. I want others to know that persistence pays off. This is an open club for everyone. Just stay focus. Keep the faith and never give up. A Black Belt is a person who never quits.
