DVCopying pictures from instagram is hard, but you're right ofcourse. Found a way to scrape them.

After a seminar with Adam Wardzinski, a week after he won Euro's 2025. It's great that in BJJ you get to meet and even roll with your idols!

Brown belt Current belt

Promoted byMaarten BauwensGot promoted to brown, again not feeling like I'm at a level where I expect a brown belt to be. Still feel like I got a lot better compared to where I was at at purple. But less stressed about brown than purple at this moment. I'm still having fun doing bjj, which is what matters most to me.

Promoted byMaarten BauwensTotally unexpected because I just got comfortable at blue, but I suppose all I can do is train more so I'm worth it.

Unsure of exact date, but I can backtrace I went to the first trainings I did in 2011 since it was through this club I was introduced to a game I started playing. Training was extremely irregular and even stopped for a couple of years
