HHCF Founder get Silver Medal in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament

I had a great time this weekend competing in the American Cup for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). It was my first time since I got my recent promotion. I lost on points. But it was amazing. I compete again in 2 weeks at Jiu Jitsu By The Bay on May 15th in Hayward, CA.I hope to see you there. The HHCF is sponsoring it and families from all over the state will be attending. Looking forward to seeing you there.

HHCF Founder Given Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu Master and www.onthemat.com Co-founder Alan "Gumby" Marques and HHCF Founder Adisa Banjoko

Today I was given my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from my instructor and friend Gumby. It was a shock. I've been working hard lately. But I did not expect it. I want to take a minute to thank him for the honor. For me to receive a belt from a man of his skill and character means more than I can truly say. I'd like to thank all my brothers on the mat through the years. On the real were it not for my boy Jaime Lapena- I'd never even know jiu jitsu at all. He must have seen how much I sucked at Eskrima and just wanted to give me a fighting chance in this world. LOL...God & my wife gotta getta extra shout. Much love.
