Originally posted by Titusfighter: I have my Brown under Claude Bordeau, but it isnt a Gracie school. It is listed as a Sport juijutsu school which suits me fine as I prefer to mix it up . He has been my sensei since I was 8 starting in Judo and then adding Muay Thai with Thac Tran(motivated me more than anyone). Claude is great as he geared the classes for the fighter I would be facing for upcoming fights. I prefer Shootfighting as I am able to kick more, which I am known for(pain is tatooed on my right foot) (first u see it then u feel it LOL).
In 2002 we went to Sanfran after the soboba deal and trained at Ralphs school(half loaded from the drive thereLOL) and roled with a BJJ purple there and we musta be going a good 20 mins trying to tap each other out. We were both so exhausted(we were similar weight and size) that we both called it quits. Had a blast and then watched the Mayweather fight(courtesy of IFC's Paul Smith).
Nice my buddy jewel movedd to cali to train at ralphs school. Not found of him for myfirst choice but he is well respected.
I started TKD, then judo than (JKD, phillipeno knight fighting wing chun) then BJJ. Being it since then Competed for University of michigan jiu-jitsu team. Since then i have chilled out.
