Viva Venezuela!
If Luke Beston is half Brazilian by marriage, then I must be half Venezuelan. So, it is with great pride I bring you the results from the 8th Venezuelan Grappling Championships:
When I visited Venezuela around 2 years ago, I did not see any Brazilian jiu jitsu schools. I did not even get any comments when I wore my Rey Diogo/Carlson Gracie Team shirt around Caracas. So, finding out that they had their 8th championship was a pleasant surprise.
Hopefully (and to my wife's great dismay, I'm sure) this will mean that I will be able to find somewhere to train next time I visit.
