The classes this week were overflowing with students from other schools. Royce Gracie was black belt testing his students at our dojo. Pretty cool. The visiting students fitted right in.
On Monday, December 9, there will be the Winter Belt Ceremony. Red Belt Pedro Valente Sr will be present along with Royce.
In the fundamentals class, I seeked out a higher belt for the class. Normally, during technique review, the practice partner didn’t do any resistance, pure technique. Until that day, I didn’t see the flaw in this. Since we both knew the techniques well, the higher belt gave full resistance. Most of the techniques worked but some didn’t because of sloppy technique. It was a good reality check.
