I placed 3rd at my first jiu jitsu tournament, the Buckeye State Grappling Championships, Toledo, OH in the Heavyweight, white belt, Master's division (not enough old guys so they bumped me down). I have been training at Martial Arts Unlimited in Clawson, MI since April. I travel over an hour one way to train with Adlai Cleveland for 10th Planet and Chris Malgeri for BJJ and CSW. I am blown away by what I learn from my instructors and on this site everyday.

Thank you.

P.S. Sorry I didn't notice the 10th Planet Gi patch was wrinkled!

Thank you everyone!!! I have never competed in an individual sport before. Amazing how you can roll at the gym all the time and never experience the adrenaline dump that competition gives you.
