I have been training now for just over 12 months
Our gym is an MMA gym. Our belt system is a little different to BJJ. We start at white then yellow this is the orange grading then green then blue. Once we reach Blue it will be the equivalent of a BJJ blue belt. Our BJJ is being overseen by Luke Beston from Beston Gracie Newcastle Australia. Our trainer Rodd Eaddie trained with Luke for many years and one the NSW state titles in Pankration while training there. He has a black belt in Karate and Kenpo and is currently in the process of receiving a BJJ grading with Luke
