After training with Marco this morning he informed me that I've learned enough, and I am in good enough shape, to earn a Ruas Vale Tudo Fighting Diploma. Its not really a belt, but an acknoledgement that I am worthy to be a member of his studio.
It was cool! After finishing his grueling workout, I rolled with him for about 15 minutes. He told me that I still don't have a lot of finishing moves but I am good at finishing the ones I know and that I was in better shape than most of his other students.
Anyway, just wanted to tell my forum bro's. I don't believe in belts or trophies telling you how good of a fighter you are. However, to be recognized (even at a low level) by a figher as great as Marco is an awesome feeling! Hard work pays off!
Anyway, my apologies if this sounds like I am bragging. That is not my intention. It is just that no one (family or friends) share my passion for MMA - I guess that's why I have you guys.
