In 2003, Relson Gracie awarded his first Black Belt diplomas in the U.S. to:
Scott Devine
Andre Derizans
Phil Migliarese
Jeff Hudson (Jeff was awarded at the same time but was unable to attend the ceremony)
Phil became the first certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt in Philadelphia.
"This was an inspiring evening and an honor to witness Relson's first Black Belt diplomas awarded in the United States. Great memories. Congratulations to these great teachers / mentors and for the successes they have attained since."
Special thanks to Ronn Shiraki, our fellow black belt for uploading this video!
