They definitely put me through the grinder with 13 – 5 minute grappling sessions back to back. Saying that the pursuit of a black belt in jiu-jitsu is a marathon and not a sprint is an understatement. It’s more like a multi stage ultramarathon. Today I can say that I have completed another stage of my bjj journey in earning my brown belt. Glad to have shared it with Mccunes Martial Arts, the legendary Rigan Machado, and Kipton Sneen.
