Still updating competition and medal record. Actual record is 130-68-1. 48 Gold... it's going to take some time to put all that in.

Thanks Ferdinand. Yeah Rufus is my stage name... Jacob is what I am called if I get caught by the law. Seriously though I'm Jacob under IBJJF etc as it's my first name. Thanks for the vote. I still owe you a visit.

"I've had the pleasure of competing against Rufus in the past very early into our blue belt days. Subsequently he has excelled into a legit black beltninstructor with his own academy and team. Still active as in helping organise events, competing and teaching regularly. I can verify his time spent and blood spilled.👊🏽"
