Rigan Machado is coming to the Bay Area to teach a no-gi jiu jitsu seminar! Rigan Machado is a legend in the sport, 8th degree black belt under  Carlos Gracie Jr., mundial champion and ADCC veteran. He was the best competitor of his time, in my opinion. He will be conducting a seminar at 10th Planet San Francisco on November 13th. His seminar is incredibly priced, $75 if registered before Nov. 8th, $100 if registered after. That is a steal considering who is teaching the seminar.  

Elia and Ben were sparring after class at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu San Francisco and Denny decided the winner would get his purple belt. I missed the first 2 minutes of the match as I tried to find my camera. Denny ended up promoting both and as per usual talks about the students, their training and their path from their previous belt to the the belt being awarded. Congratulations to both of our newest, and well deserved, purple belts.
