It's been a while since my last post and some good things have happened in the past months. In November I successfully tested and received my Purple Belt from John K. Munoz, C-Quence Jiu Jitsu. I enjoyed a fantastic holiday season and finally took a week off during Christmas to rest up and prepare for a fun competition season this year. I also took soem time to get some quality snowboarding in. It was fantastic!
Just this past weekend I had a truly amazing experience... I had the very rare opportunity to meet Grand Master Francisco Mansor. With over 55 years experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and creator of the Kioto Brazilian Jiu Jitsu system his knowledge and experience is wide and deep in our art. He is an amazing man with tons of energy. It is by far the high point thus far in my BJJ experience. Grand Master Mansor is only one of seven 9th degree black belts in the world and is one of only a handful of black belts to have trained with and receive his black belt directly from Grand Master Helio Gracie. His stories, details and system are truly one of kind in BJJ.
I've updated my profile picture which shows my lineage in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from Grand Master Mansor to myself. What a great moment in time.
Our team is excited for some upcoming MMA fights we have including a heavy weight title defense for Nail "Chaos" Cooke Feb 3rd. JB is also on the fight card and will pounding out another win I'm sure the same night. Our competitve BJJ team has a strong and excited energy for this coming season. Looks for us at the big and small tournaments across the West Region. It's going to be a great year for our team and for our students.
Happy training. Stay safe and healthy.
Best Regards,
KK
