So yeah this happened 🤯🤯🤯 But in all seriousness I’m speechless beyond words that can describe how I’m feeling at this moment. I’ve trained in martial for 20 years now and I’ve been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2011 because my friend @_andrewx convinced me to check out this gym in my hometown. Needless to say that decision lead me to meet some of the most amazing people and family that’s one of a kind. Cross training has also lead me to meet some more genuine and authentic people through jiujitsu, and through that I learned from an amazing person as well as my friend @matteobjj and learn from some of the greatest in the world when it came to Jiu-Jitsu. However all my knowledge, grit and determination came from my instructor @juliocruzbjjwestchester who’s put up with me for 13 years at my highest and lowest. My wrestling was made possible by my friend @lvnlrg84 and my judo possible by @matmildenhall This Black belt however isn’t only mine, it’s everyone’s who helped me get here, that includes my students, my friends who I’ve made in the jiujitsu community, my instructor and most and above all my Dad “Papo” who’s been by my side every step of the way. From the deepest purest part of my heart, Thank You every single one of you! Who says a Comic/Anime loving geek can’t be a bad ass in jiujitsu ?😅 #fyp #jiujitsu #martialarts #bjj #bjjlifestyle #blackbelt #blackbeltbjj

So if you know who you are, thanks for making 2025 amazing for me! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! #cosplay #jiujitsu #newyear

Another Year of @newyorkcomiccon in the books and it was a great one!!! Was awesome because: - I got to meet new faces and re-connect with my friends - did my marley fam tradition with the cart titan sis @sword.virgo - I got to square off against @loganchitwood - and I got to spend it with my partner @lunarwolfie.coz Did get a little exhausted towards the end but next year I will bring out comic book related cosplays to the forefront in my lineup next year! *also yes I did comp the compression tops of the JJK x Under Armor collab at the Crunchyroll booth #cosplay #streetfighter #anime #comic #superheros #mortalkombat #devilmaycry #chainsawman

Days 3 & 4 of @animenyc incoming… Last couple of days are always the hardest, but so fulfilling because I got to spend it with the Marley Fam even though we were missing one of our family members, plus this marked a year ago today all of us came together in person and spent a con together, and this year we added another member to that fam who joined us from across the pond in @phoebeb96 Also Sunday as Dante from Devil May Cry was my first time ever hosting a meetup at any con, and I enjoyed every second of it, and I truly hope that people enjoyed equally as much as I did. Keep a lookout for any other meetups I’ll host in the near future, but thank you to everyone who joined! Also whoever has the handle of the white rabbit cosplayer dm me so I can tag them please and thank you 🙏🏻 See you next year @animenyc #fyp #cosplay #anime #gaming #jujutsukaisenanime #devilmaycry #tojifushiguro #dantedevilmaycry #marleyfamily
