Huge achievement for Sensei Kam last night - we had the honour of professor Israel Costa visiting our class to award Sensei Kam his BJJ Brown Belt!
💥 A few words from Sensei Kam -
Just want to say thank you to all of my instructors for everything, especially the kind words shared. Today I was promoted to brown belt by my BJJ professor Israel Costa.
"As the moutain now becomes inevitabley steeper, I stay in the footsteps of my guides and press forwards with confidence. A process that every martial artist must find faith in"
I am both greatful and humbled.
The journey continues....
