Dickie Martin -Carlsons-receives his Black Belt

[Simon Hayes]

It is with pride i announce that Dickie Martin was awarded his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
tonight by our instructor Wilson Junior.

Dickie,who also received his Blue,Purple and Brown from Wilson at Carlson Gracie Revolution Team
joins the ranks of U.K. BJJ Black Belts.

A fierce competitor,he has been tearing up the tournament scene since 2001.

An inspiring teacher,tough training partner and our own encyclopedia of Jiu Jitsu,Dickie
has trained exceptionally hard for a very long time.

As a Blue Belt he decided to cross train in Judo to help his BJJ game and was awarded his Judo 1st Dan in 2005.

*Without you my brother i don't know if i could have got there myself* oooosssss


I am also proud to announce that another Old School Carlson Gracie Student was awarded a new belt tonight as well-

NISAR - PURPLE BELT.

The Purple Belt is an extremely large hurdle in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Nisar has trained for many years to arrive at this stage-Well done my friend.


Pictures to follow.
