Not sure of the exact date, but when I got to SF to train today I saw Jason "White Mamba" Collard standing there with a brand new black belt! Jason has been featured on a number of OTM productions and has won more tournaments than I can count off the top off my head. So a big congratulations (and a HUGE sigh of relief on behalf of those of us who have to train with him to Jason!
Pretty incredible day at the academy today with ten black belts on the mat training, and a few more keeping score off the mat.
