One stripe white belt at Indiana Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I've trained on and off for over a year. I can't make it in consistantly because of working 65-70hr weeks and bodybuilding.

My goal is to get my blue belt by 2010.

My first match ever.

My second match ever

I have zero wrestling skills and need practice, but we just teamed up with Integrated Arts and Jake O'Brien has been helping me tremendously with wrestling. I think I'll do a lot better next time.

Absolutely not. We have a purple belt that's in his forties. Also... this will shock you. I would NEVER mess with this dude.

YouTube - al bundy gets black belt

All Gracie schools are good. My school used to be a Mario Roberto affiliate, but we are not teamed with Intergrated Arts. The have Chris Lytle, Jake O'Brien, and Dan Christison.
