After a week of intensive tests and examinations I did receive my purple in ruas vale tudo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, I was training like mad from may for this! I did it! right now there are only six purples in italy. wooooow! I did receive the "trainer" qualification, that is: I can teach the very basics of RVT to others!
That are some of the thing we endured:
-12 hours a day training for seven days.
-3 min pinned on scarf hold receiving open hand full power blows from a competition team member (pro).
-up to 4 hours continuous randori (groundwork sparring)
-daily 8km roadwork
-anatomy and training methodology test
That was the final belt exam:
-5min boxing spar with a competition team member
-5min thai boxe sparring (same)
-5min clinching and takedowns
-5min groundwork
vale tudo sparring (cup, mouthpiece,harbingers) until tapping.
I lasted in the vale tudo section for a full 2 mins before being slammed and choked by a veteran with a dozen fights under his belts....I'm really a pussy. Damn, if held in lock I didn't have tapped, but being choked at the risk of shitting my trunks in front of the class wasn't worth it...he he he...
However, after exams, it was WIIIILD PARTYYYY!
congratulations!!! that's a promotion you earned!!![]()
Damn! Now that's earning your belt

Wow I feel like a pansy now. Good work UnderDog.

Congratulations! Hope that you didn't have to do any of that standup sparring with the likes of Pedro Rizzo.
Holy Crap, a TRULY momentous event. You sir, deserve this.

Outstanding! I remember when you got your blue. You train hard and you are moving right along. Enjoy you achievement, you earned it.
Why are there belts given in a vale tudo style? Just curious.
CONGRATS!!!!
Clock Choke or Kimura....you choose!!!
Hell, I did wondered the very same thing when I started in Ruas Vale Tudo. I think that it's a manner of rewarding students, but for me the real belt is in randori. The one that submit the others has the highest belt....
Amico di congratulazioni!
quella è grandi notizie![]()
