Gracie Barra BJJ Blue Belt!
I am so excited to announce that I received my Blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu today. I am honored to have received the promotion from professor Marcio Feitosa, a legend in BJJ. I want to give a special thanks to all of my professors and training partners at Gracie Barra America for giving me a great start to a sport that I will enjoy for the rest of my life! Only 6 or 7 more years of training for my black belt :) I want to thank Kayron Gracie and professor Philipe "Furao" Della Monica for all of the private lessons and personal attention to my training. I also want to thank Mike Pesh for all of the great images from today!

That is awesome Mike! In my years playing in the arts - (more filo arts but hey) I know the time and commitment needed to attain ANYthing worthwhile...
I've played with some BJJ guys, and I have to say - it is very street worthy. I'd not want to hit the ground.... once your down... your GONE...
Congrats Mike!!!! Keep up the good work, the devotion is admirable!!!!
Much Love, Many Blessings, & TONS of Laughs,

Congrats Mike!! Very exciting for you! Hope all is well with you and the fam and see you guys soon!
Is there anything you don't do? I'm also curious exactly how this will tie into your photography career. I see some dangerous stuff going on.

Mike - you're officially bad a$$ now! :)
Nice Job. If you're ever in the Portland area and you feel the need to train, shoot me a line.
Congratulations, Mike! That is a great accomplishment and a wonderful way to start out the new year. Keep on it. Best!
Mike, that is awesome. CONGRATULATIONS! I stopped traning years ago but made it to purple belt in HapKido so I know how hard it is and how special this promotion is. Great news, don't stop and please keep us posted!
Congrats! We blued almost the same time-- mine from Relson-- and I just stumbled on your blog through google. I wish you the best in your training and look forward to seeing how your experiences compare with mine! :)
Take care,
Georgette
Congratulations!
