Blue Belt
Hey all,
I'm new to these forums and came in to say "hey" to everyone. I'm living in Sacramento, California and I currently train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Cassio Werneck.
I started martial arts at the age of 6 in a shotokan based karate style in Fresno California training with the late Stuart Quan. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience in the martail arts than what he taught, and learned so much more than just fighting training there in my younger years. I was not a completely dedicated Karate student though, and so never made my blackbelt despite training on and off for 8 or 9 years.
I love my BJJ and am much more dedicated to the art these days. I started training BJJ at a Ralf Gracie affiliated school in Fresno, but then moved to a Royce Gracie school to train with a friend. Royce is even the one who gave me my bluebelt in BJJ. I outlasted my friend in the art and have not missed more than a full week of training in the last 6 or so years.
I moved to Sacramento about 4 years ago and started training with Cassio Werneck after he moved up here from Brazil to make Sacramento his perminent home.
Anyway, hello again all, and I'm happy to be here.
