Since getting my brown belt, my yearly plan for jiu jitsu has been working towards getting my Black Belt.

As I put together my plan for 2022 I didn’t have to include that goal because on Dec 11, 2021 I became 10th Planet Van Nuys’ first Black Belt.

Needless to say, I’m pretty excited.

Getting my black belt was 12+ years of hard work.

Even though I am now a Black Belt, I’m looking forward to continuing my journey into learning and sharing as much as I can about Jiu Jitsu.

That is one of the great things about jiu jitsu. There is always more to learn……even when you are a black belt.
