I posted a beautiful Facebook post I published this morning… below:

Well it happened last night… A few more steps to the ultimate goal.

Thanks again, to Professor Matt Richer, Coach Keith MacGillivray, all and everyone I currently train with, past and present. Soooo many to damn list. You know who you are. I’ve either been choked, strangled, joint or compression locked, crushed, mounted, or literally just been sat on by you an vice versa… we all train with similar intents.

Again you all know who you are, BJJ is a tough Martial Art… we spend a lot of time away from regular life, OTM, with you guys. You have either inspired me or motivated me in one way or form… my second family.

Oh, most importantly thank you to my Son, my dog Chucky Lee Norris, & my loving wife. In that order… :p for letting me go off and train as much as I do and even with only 4 hours sleep a night these past 3 months, …without your support I may have wasted all my money on that Green $3000 SYR GI I saw posted on that Facebook group website the other night and many others… clearly over priced?

Congratulations to the others on their achievements as well!!

Still feels like yesterday we were just on James Street… BJJ has grown so much here in Thunder Bay with our Team.

The ultimate goal. Future… BJJ Black Belts.

BJJ4life!
