Out of curiosity, what rank did you achieve in the gi and who did you get it from?
I traveled a lot and did not believe in getting a belt rank. I was just in it to learn. Kinda regret that a little. Most of my training was under Pedro Sauer/Greg Nelsen. Altough Greg was sick during most of my time there, so I learned from his students that taught class. I always seemed to miss the testing days they had. Always learning but not real dedicated during those early days. I have been practicing BJJ since 2002. I am probably around purple belt level right now but i don't know.
