The Ultimate in Martial Arts

Underdog · 07-25-2001, 05:14 PM

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!

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.

Hell of a job, Underdog!

That test sounds brutal! Talk about earning your rank.......

Bligh · 07-26-2001, 07:33 PM

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!!!!

Underdog · 08-01-2001, 11:56 AM

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....
