After a week of intensive tests and examinations I did receive my purple in ruas vale tudo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, I was training like mad from may for this! I did it! right now there are only six purples in italy. wooooow! I did receive the "trainer" qualification, that is: I can teach the very basics of RVT to others!
That are some of the thing we endured:
-12 hours a day training for seven days.
-3 min pinned on scarf hold receiving open hand full power blows from a competition team member (pro).
-up to 4 hours continuous randori (groundwork sparring)
-daily 8km roadwork
-anatomy and training methodology test
That was the final belt exam:
-5min boxing spar with a competition team member
-5min thai boxe sparring (same)
-5min clinching and takedowns
-5min groundwork
vale tudo sparring (cup, mouthpiece,harbingers) until tapping.
I lasted in the vale tudo section for a full 2 mins before being slammed and choked by a veteran with a dozen fights under his belts....I'm really a pussy. Damn, if held in lock I didn't have tapped, but being choked at the risk of shitting my trunks in front of the class wasn't worth it...he he he...
However, after exams, it was WIIIILD PARTYYYY!
