Yesterday I had the pleasure of promoting my good friend Adam to Black Belt in BJJ.

As a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coach, I desperately hope I’m not only helping make my students better at BJJ. But I also hope that I’m making a positive impact on their life in some way outside of the gym.

Everyone has their mission and that’s mine.

When Adam gave his Black Belt speech about what it means to be a BJJ Black Belt at least to him, I was moved. Because of the way he felt for me and all of the other people on the team.

You’ll see it on my face, I became watery eyed.

For me, that lets me now I’m on the right track.

In regards to Adam himself. There is so much I could say about him.

In fact, it’s difficult to condense your feelings and memories down to a simple post.

So I won’t try today.

Instead, I’ll just say that I’m proud of Adam, and I am so very thankful that he found his way to our gym 9 years ago.

He’s been one of my best training partners, someone I look forward to seeing on a regular basis and we’ve had some fun times together.

Congratulations to Adam! I’m proud of him. As a coach, brother in arms and friend.

Answering the question from my friend and instructor at RCBJJ LAS VEGAS . Armba

If there was a BJJ tournament in your area that had no winners, no losers, and no medals. . . would you participate in it? Do you think it would even be worth doing? Would you go through all the hard training to prepare for it?

This is the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu question that was thrown to me recently on Instagram.

Our friend who lives in a particular part of Canada where prize fighting was banned. And it just so happens that Brazilian Jiujitsu competitions were classified as prize fighting.

After the law was passed a BJJ tournament was held. And during this BJJ competition. No medals were given, no hands raised and no podium was stepped on to determine a winner.

The questions asked from our friend were. . .

Are medals a big deal? And should be people feel grateful for having a some sort of tournament in their area?

Now I don’t know all of the details of this situation. But I interpreted this as there were no winners and losers.

And I answer the question accordingly.

I hope that maybe you find the video at the very least, entertaining and possibly give you an idea as to why many people compete.

Thanks for watching.
