Whew!, man this is overwhelming. I appreciate all of tha love and support. Myself, Tyler, Ace, & Joey left out of Ft Lauderdale Friday morning and headed to Tampa for Coach's seminar. It was a quick 4 hour 20 minute drive, as per my iphone map, from my house to the hotel. After we checked in to the hotel we went over to MES and met up with Coach Herzogs brother, Mike. When we got to MES we were greeted by a very good lookin lady that said Oh you sexy jiu jitsu guys are here follow me. I knew at that moment it was gonna be an awesome trip. We met up with Mike and he is a cool ass dude. He and Chris look alot alike and Joey or Ace, cant remember which one, thought he was Chris at first lol!! Mike took us to the gym area and it was freakin awesome! Part of the mat area:

Coach Herzog covered twisters, trucks, and Russian cowboy. It was awesome to see a couple of guys that had never done jitz being able to get to the twister after Coachs instruction! We also met a cool 10th Planet Ronin out of Gainesville, FL that I hope to get to train with in the future. When the seminar was over Coach gathered us around and went to his bag and pulled out a blue belt and threw it to me as he said approved all the way from hq. It was fanFukinTastic!!! I was in total shock! It is such an honor for me to be promoted by Coach Herzog with Master Eddies blessings that I can not convey what it means. Those of you that have been promoted by your heroes know what Im feeling. After my promotion we all got to roll with Coach. That was an eye opening experience for Joey and Ace lol. Of course for Tyler and I to get smashed by Coach is always an honor! I know that this is just one foot step on a very long journey and look forward to what the rest of this adventure to the 10th Planet will bring!
