I just saw an article of the ADCC Invitations are being sent out (http://adcombat.com/adcc-invitations...ting-to-go-out), and after seeing and hearing about Geo's killer run through trials I really hope he will get his invitation to represent 10P. At least the super fights will be great to watch.
He doesn't need an invite. Geo earned his spot by winning the North American Trials. 10P is headed to Sao Paulo :cool:
We've also still go the West Coast Trials coming up. I imagine 10P will represent pretty hard there. After 40% of the winners of the East Coast Trials were pure no-gi guys, I am super stoked to see what happens at the West Coast Trials.
Someones not paying attentch
Yeah it's gonna be crazy to see how Geo fares in the deepest of the deep. It's a shame he hasn't been able to compete in no gi worlds because he got ranked too quick. I'm super excited to see what he does. I'm really hoping for some truck work. I'm predicting at least one calf crank.Quote:

Eddie is not IBJJF certified, but Geo was going to do it through Jean Jacques Machado. He started the process but was told he did not meet the "time-in-rank" requirements to get to black belt. In other words, he could have participated but only as a brown belt. LOL (There's a minimum amount in each rank that you must remain in before you are acknowledge to be promoted to the next belt.) There are no exceptions; which is strange b/c at any other sport, when you get "called up" to the majors, you get called up.
So will Geo be able to compete at black belt at all? Like if he waits a year or more?
