#Repost @caioterrabjj (@get_repost) ・・・ When I first met Vitinho he was a teenager from Brazil coming to America to chase his dream. He lived at my house and it was amazing to watch him mature from a teenager to a man. This past weekend I awarded him his first stripe. More than any tournament he won I’m most proud of the person he has become. He is a good teacher but more importantly an amazing person. Congrats vitor, to many more years of friendship. #Repost @vitorpaschoalcta (@get_repost) ・・・ [1st Stripe] Very late post but this one is very special to me. I had the honor to officially get my first stripe on my black belt by the hands of the man himself, @caioterrabjj. Since I moved to the US, this guy had my back from day 1. Besides being an awesome professor, Caio became one of my best friends and trusted me to be part of this amazing family. I have nothing but admiration, respect and gratitude. Receiving an award from his hands was very emotional and important to me. Thank you professor for all you’ve done for me and all your students. I’ll always do my best to represent your name everywhere I go. One team! #cta #ctbjja #oneteam #1ststripe #blackbelt #WARTRIBE (at Otomi Martial Arts Parker / Caio Terra Association)
