We are very excited and happy for Professor Caique who received his Red/Black belt on March 9th from Master Rickson Gracie in Brazil.  This promotion is also sanctioned by the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation of Rio de Janeiro.  Caique was promoted to 7th degree, in which the traditional black belt is replaced with an alternating red/black belt.  The red/black belt is for 7th and 8th degree, then 9th degree would be promoted to red belt.  Caique is one of 3 or 4 Red/Black belts in the United States.  It is a great honor to be his student and friend.

Everyone had a great time learning from one of the best while Caique was here in Indianapolis on March 1st.  We had 30 people attend the seminar, and Caique was excited to see everyone again.  We can't wait until next time! CLICK HERE for more seminar photos!
