A big congratulations to him

Congratulations to Sifu Chan for this major achievement. In this era where eight-year-old kiddie black belts are commonplace, I understand that Black Belts in BJJ are a major acheivement taking many years of dedication and hard work--the way it should be! Kamon, perhaps you could elaborate?

Well he is around 40 years old, although he looks younger than I do!! And moves quicker than I do!!

He started BJJ around 10 years ago and works almost daily on BJJ

To put it into context there are only five BJJ black belts in the UK under Mauricio Gomes

Kevin Chan is the only wing chun master to acheive this

It posted up on another forum I go on... with pictures ( post em up Kamon Guy lol) he certainly doesn't look his age! Roger Gracie was there too.
It's an impressive achievement, please pass my congrats on!

Yeah Roger is an extraordinary exponent of BJJ

I have heard rumours that he will be possibly entering UFC which will be awesome!

Thanks for the kind words.
I don't get to see Roger much as I train BJJ very sporadically.
Kevin Chan is certainly talented enough to enter MMA. He is talented at BJJ, wing chun and kickboxing/boxing (enough to knock me out and I'm triple his weight)

Yet I think he is happy with training new students and living life to the full
