I had been training in Japanese Jiu Jitsu since 1984 - started self training BJJ with a couple of training partners from TJJ. Got awarded my Blue belt from Royce at a seminar we held in 2001 - Started again with Colin Howells at White belt in 2011 - Had to move teams in 2016 as Winchester BJJ closed down. Went to Alton BJJ with Brian Livie under Andy Roberts who I had the pleasure of meeting when he was a Purple belt up in Sheffield. Have stayed with the Team ever since.

Hi John. Recently you were kind enough to vote to verify my black belt rank but having updated an error in my promotion history I have lost my votes and have to start verification again. If you have a spare moment would you mind reviewing again. Thx. 3 year(s) ago | |
Hi John, hope you’re well mate. Would you mind verifying my new rank if you get a minute. Thanks, Aaron 2 year(s) ago |

Like an old tree, I have gained a mark to show time served in the development of the art (and I have survived another 3 year of people trying to kill me :-) )
