Yuo're right, there are no good black belts at SD. I had no right to make a comment to the contrary.
That's a true story about those sparring incidents by the way. I'll leave his name out because of respect, and he has since left SD. I occasionally do mma/vale tudo type stuff with him, and he's actually a pretty nice guy. Tough as he!!, too. He won the Pan Ams a few years back as a blue belt for BJJ I believe. He laughed at your Golden Alligator Style, too.
