Receiving a black belt is already a remarkable moment, imagine receives it from the hands of an idol and still have the opportunity to inaugurate it training with the greatest pound for pound of all time? This was the privilege of the PVT creator, Gleidson Venga, graduated in the CT Team Nogueira last Friday (Jan 27). "It´s such a great emotion to get the black belt after so many years of hard trainment, even more coming from the hands of those guys that I consider idols", said Sherdog contributor Gleidson Venga.
The ceremony also had the presence of Everaldo Penco (professor of Team Nogueira), Mario Sperry, Marcelo Alonso (black belt 5th Dan under Carlson Gracie, who is 14 years in Seattle), Oswaldo Paquetá (the Best friend of Carlson Gracie Who is 72 years old now, Ana Maria, Rony Jason, Eric Silva and other black belts from team De La Riva / Team Nogueira. "When I started training I received my blue belt from a brown belt, look at the privilege that you have here! Today, we have 13 black belts lined up at the ceremony. Any one of this team that have the willpower can go far", said Nogueira, insisting repeatedly to thank Everaldo Penco, responsible for development of Jiu-Jitsu in Team Nogueira.
Anderson ironize Chael Sonnen during trainment
After graduation of blue and purple belts, a black belt went on the mat in the middle of Everaldo Penco speech, apologizing and paying ten push-ups. "I deserve to pay 10, sorry master" Anderson said, asking forgiveness to Minotauro, who delivered the last brown belt. After watching the last graduations, Anderson stamped the PVT editor belt. Always ironic, the fighter joked: "Take it easy, otherwise people will notice that I'm not a real black belt and I got my belt on a Happy Meal Mc Donalds promotion", said the Spider, mocking Chal Sonnen's statements. After training with Gleidson, Anderson still rolled with five other fighters.
