10 years of Pound for Pound München BJJ, MMA & No Gi Team were celebrated! It was the team’s third annual member convention. Unforgettable!! A team that one only feels proud and honored to be part of and represent. I feel lucky to have been accepted years ago into the family and today to be able to represent in Casa De Luta FightKlub Saarbrücken as one of Professor Sergio’s black belts and thereby continue his legacy. When I think of Professor Sergio "Canudo" Zimmermann , I can only think of good. At no time did he deny his help, his advice, his support and motivation. He’s always been there every time I’ve needed him. His legacy as a competitor is true inspiration! Seeing the team grow in such a way is beyond words. Seeing Professor’s happiness on days like these is priceless. His legacy continues and promises not to stop! Grateful for life!
