I wondered that at first too. But it's not it's just a really really really worn out brown belt. This guy definitely deserved his black belt and congrats to him.
Haha yeh it is bro,im 15 now and ive been doing it since i was 11...just one piece of advice i wanna give you...There is no losing is jiu jitsu,there is only winning and learning.You should also get a notebook and take down things that you learn so you dont forget them :) i hope you all the best in the future man
A Garcia belt is platinum vs most schools black belt ahh the good old days. God I get back in gym and covid be dammed want that feeling of normal. 😷 tired but this is like a battle reminds battle in bjj us society can't let covid sink the choke we my must defend and use everything at our disposal. One great things about how Marcelo taught and always was he never necessarily followed the book and wrote his own book and was not scared to try new often pioneered new unconventional attacks or defense that could lead to other things. We too as a society need be flexible in our ways let's not let these politicians divide us . I just want us work together defend ourselves and try find solution we can make work.
the atmosphere in the academy is just awesome ! Congratz on your MG BJJ BB !!!!
Well deserved!! I have seen him progress through the ranks!! Awesome gentleman and very hard worker!! All the best

Thank you, I was just thinking, "that has to be a brown belt but it looks almost like a faded black belt."
Well done, congrats! Damn, getting a black belt from Marcelo Garcia, what an honor!
Hey Zeljko congratulations and best wishes from Saungkh in Florida - hope to see you at the academy next time I come to visit.
"Two things need to go into New York book history: the date when Marcelo opened academy, and the Beatles concert in Shea Stadium in 1964."
