A huge congratulations to Pete for earning his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!

!!!

Hmm, I just realized that I don't even know if he posts here anymore, but he is still part of the family.

Great to hear he has gone so far in his martial arts journey.

I remember when his own instructor went from white to blue.

Good for him.

Unfortunately I think we have lost a lot of folks to facebook...

Congrats Pete, way to go man!

Pete Fuga?

Congrats man!

Congrats. Quite the accomplishment.

Doesn't this take something like 10 years on average?

Thanks, guys.

I lurk in the shadows mostly.

Best part of it all was that my teenage daughter (who is training again) got to witness me getting the belt.

Did they give you a Brazilian Congratulations?

Pete encouraged me to start BJJ - so everything is his fault

Well done old man

BJJ good.

I slowed down because my body takes a lot of abuse already due to my job (not to mention the hours) and having to miss a promotion due to broken elbow is not an option.

But BJJ good. Nothing has taught me that you can accomplish (almost) anything through hard work the way BJJ did and I am all the happier for it.

If it wasn't for BJJ I would not have the job I have which I enjoy and actually pays more than a career I was considering which looking back at now I probably would not have enjoyed due to the actions of a few.

Thanks BJJ.

Huge congratulations Pete! Amazing achievement.

Last night the gauntlet. This morning the bruises are turning a lovely shade.

I'm more worried about what you've done to your leg Pete....
