JT’s Complete Black Belt
Match List Is At The Very
Bottom Of This Email
********************************
If you were a part of my email list a couple of years
ago you remember when I first started to tell you
about JT “Spiderman” Torres. Some people got
angry at the way I spoke about JT. In case you
weren’t on my list then, I basically said a couple
years ago that JT will go on to become one of the
Greatest American BJJ Players of all time.
Some people were angry, but as always I
like to introduce the World to some of my
students so you can follow their journey.
For the last couple of years people have
been following JT’s journey to become
a Black Belt World Champion.
Since only 2 other Americans have ever
accomplished this feat you can see
how difficult of a task this is.
Not only that, NEVER has a American
Black Belt from a American team ever
gotten a medal in the Black Belt Division
at the World Championships Adult Division.
No American BB from an American
team has ever received a medal at
Brazilian Nationals before JT did it
last month either.
Will this be the year? Can JT do it?
Well below are the results of every
match that JT has had since he
received his Black Belt 11 months
ago.
Since receiving his Black Belt JT
has had 40 matches.
His over all record is 31-9
He won 17 matches by submission
Out of the 9 losses he was only
submitted twice.
JT has only been submitted twice
and that was in the Open division
JT has never been submitted in
his weight division as a black belt
In his last 19 matches JT only
lost once by points and the rest
by advantage. JT was able to
submit the person that defeated
him by points in a match a month
later.
One thing to note is that JT has
never lost twice to anyone that
he’s lost to in the gi before.
He always comes back stronger
in this second match. He’s lost
to Langhi by advantage and lost
to Gilbert by advantage.
I expect him to be much more
focused his second time around.
I can’t begin to tell you how excited
I am about his division. The World
will be watching, even our haters have
to ‘kinda’ route for the kid.
I believe that JT has what it takes to
become a Black Belt World Champion.
Can you do it, well we leave tomorrow
for the Worlds, the count down has begun.
If you’re going to be there, I would love to
meet you, please make sure that you
say hello. I love meeting people
on my email list.
Talk to you soon
