Greetings and Salutations world wide interwebs!!!!! My name is Robert and I’m a one stripe blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and train at Inferno MMA in Bentonville, Arkansas under brown belt Kaleb Plank.
I got my blue belt in September of 2011 under my original instructor and friend, Stephen Gourley.

I have a pretty big training schedule in which I beat on my gi’s, rash guards, and shorts. I train 5 days a week and have the following training hours:
Monday – 530 am – 800 am, 7 pm -9 pm –
Tuesday – 700 am – 800 am, 1130 am – 1230 pm, 700 pm – 830 pm
Wednesday – 530 am – 800 am, 1100 am – 1200 pm, 615 pm – 730 pm
Thursday – 700 am – 800 am, 1130am – 1230 pm, 815 pm – 930 pm
Friday – 530 am – 800 am
So as you can see, with this type of a schedule the products I review/use get a thorough test on durability and color locking due to all the washing. I love Jiu Jitsu and it is my life.
