I'm curious.
With Braulio in Birmingham theres gotta be
I was just at his gym last Saturday for a seminar with his brother Victor, Braulio has only ever given out 1 black belt that being to Victor, all his other students are brown belts and below. Plus Victor hasn't won the Mundial World Championships at black belt himself. I was told by 1 of my friends that there hasn't been a single British person, but I wanted to be sure as there is Braulio in Birmingham, Victor in Nottingham, Lucio Sergio Dos Santos and Lucio Rodrigues in Preston and Roger Gracie in London.Quote:

Havn't heard of him, I was told Victor Estima was given the only black belt by Braulio. Could be wrong though.Quote:

According to his Bio on his website he entered and is "The British, European cup, 3x Pan American and 3x Masters and Seniors champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
He is a serious legitimate martial artist wit one of the sickest biographys I've ever seen.

You can still be a World Champ at other belts besides black belt.
