A Rickson Gracie black belt since 1994, our GMA Romolo Barros (Brazilian Freestyle Jiu-Jitsu) sent in some news with a whiff of the sea from the paradisiacal archipelago of Hawaii.
Besides his constant and proficient toil t his academies on the islands of Oahu and Maui, Romolo always helps shake up the gentle art scene at the islands during competitions.
Late this month, at the Hawaii Triple Crown state tournament, Romolo and the competitors had the privilege of receiving a special member of the crowd: the governor of the state of Hawaii, Democrat Neil Abercrombie.
As they say in those parts, “Good job, brahs!”
