By: CombatChaz on Thursday, January 5, 2012

Earning your Black Belt in GJJ/BJJ is an amazing accomplishment, Check out this video of a Pedro Sauer brown belt going for his black.Thanks to  for the upload:

"The black belt exam for Gracie Jiu Jitsu requires the student to show all 75 self defense techniques (standing) from the master text by Helio Gracie. At this level, the student is proficient in grappling but the self defense (stand up) is what is required at this level. 

Justin Angelos is a student Professor Pedro Sauer and took this test May 14 2011"
