Martial Arts lifelong practitioner, and like many here, I wished I started my Jiu Jitsu journey earlier in life. At 43, I started and, at present, continue my BJJ journey under the guidance of Professor Richard Goodwin at New Creation Academy in Benicia, California. Professor Goodwin was awarded his black belt by Professor Bryan Pangelinan (Sabre Jiu Jitsu), Professor Pangelinan received his black belt from Professor Alexander Crispim De Almeida (Cripim BJJ), whom received his black belt from Professor Ralph Gracie. Professor Richard Goodwin began his training under Master Rickson Gracie, later training under Professors Crispim, Luis Claudio and Thiago Vega. He was recently awarded his 1st degree by Professor Billy Ray Chubbs (Megatron). Even though Professor Goodwin is not verified at Beltchecker.com, I can assure you he is a dedicated coach, accomplished grappler (Wrestling NCAA- 3X All American for San Francisco State University, 132 career Wins. IBJJF Blackbelt, Master 5X World Champion), exceptional human being and friend. Thank you all for taking the time to look and my profile and for your vote of confidence. OSS
