Team Franco Behring. Or maybe Army is a better term? Ossssssss!
The Orangeville Dojo was host to the Fall Franco Behring Symposium. Wow! That is all I can say. Every time Master Behring comes from Brazil and all the clubs within the Franco Behring Association get together as one team, I fall in love with bjj a little bit more. The funny thing is, it seems I couldn’t love it more, but it keeps happening. With such great people, starting with Master Behring and Professor Franco, and including all the black belt professors, Marco Costa, Papi Loco, Monkey, Francis Abramson, and all the bjj practitioners from white to brown belt, it’s no wonder it keeps happening. Congrats to the London BJJ students who received a promotion or stripes From Master Behring and Professor Franco. I am proud of all the London BJJ students and their accomplishments. Keep training hard and you’ll reap the rewards. Here are a few photos from the event. Click on the thumbnails for a larger view of the photo with captions.
