Faction BJJ Academy Promotions

I was honored when Nick invited me to his Academy to help present Belts at his Promotional Event. His Academy has Great Energy and everyone was so nice. He had a good handful of well deserving athletes that got promoted to the next level.

It was fun to be a part & honor their accomplishments

Nick and I got some light rolling in too!

Great Group of guys!

I got a chance to roll with some students!

Kidd went too and also got some rolling in with the guys!

Damien Maia was there training right before the ceremonies. He's getting ready for his next UFC fight!
