The belt promotion ceremony at the Valente brothers’ Gracie Miami again beat all expectations as it drew 300 students to the academy in North Miami Beach.

Pedro and Guilherme Valente rewarded several students and were paid a special visit from Master Pedro Valente, and none other than Royce Gracie, who traveled to Miami especially for the party of giant proportions, with so many guests on the matted area.

Students Burak Eyilik, Dan Rozenberg, Roberto Bittar and Roberto Fleishmann received their dreamed-of black belts.
