Chiu is Braulio’s 1st ever Black Belt!

January 07 2010

Chiu holds the great honour of being Braulio’s first ever student to be promoted to black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu! The long awaited moment was made on 4th January after the evening class when to Chiu’s great surprise and amazement was given the distinguished black belt. In an emotional event, Chiu was humbled, especially for being promoted by Braulio himself, both of whom could barely contain their emotions.

The honour could not happen to a more deserved person at GB Birmingham. Chiu has been at the gym since the early days and has trained under Braulio and Victor for seven years. He has been the most consistent student and instructor working tirelessly to help students develop and is a great ambassador for GB Brum and the UK BJJ scene. Chiu has also won several major domestic competitions over the years. He is a role model for not only all aspiring bjj students, but also the older generation.

Well done on behalf of all your friends at Gracie Barra!

Thanks for all the support! I feel very honoured to be Braulio’s first Black belt, and to be able to learn from all those people I have met and trained with at Gracie Barra Birmingham.
