Now, also, so you both have, on your logo, there is a blue bar.

So explain, that blue bar is specific to the Royce Gracie Academy.

- You go ahead.

- It signifies that we focus on self-defense.

When people think jiu-jitsu, they think what is the most common thing you see out there, which is the sport with the competitions, the medals, and things like that.

And again, (indistinct) there's no strikes, things like that.

So Royce's father Helio saw that and he said, "Well, if the sport is now what jiu-jitsu is, I'm not a-" - [Christine] Not part of that.

- No, "I'm a blue belt now."

So he puts on this navy blue belt.

- Okay.

- And so Royce doesn't wear a black belt.

Royce wears a navy blue belt to honor his father.

And then our belts have a navy blue bar on them, as opposed to, like, most jiu-jitsu's black belt have a red bar, the other belts have a black bar.

- [Christine] All right.

- Ours have a navy blue instead to signify with Royce.

- Oh, that's a nice tribute.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- And we're self defense.

- And then you are both experts.

You both have gone to the academy, or I guess to work with Royce himself and- - Multiple times a year, yeah.

- Multiple times.

Okay, to keep up your skills and stay up to date?

- We'll see him next weekend.

- [Christine] You'll see him this weekend?

- Next weekend, yeah.

- Okay.

All right.

But so, now, you went through that training and that update, that maintenance I guess first, but then Michelle, you have a distinction.

- Yes, I tested two years, I believe, after you.

- Mm-hm.

- For black belt, mm-hm.

- [Christine] Or blue belt.

Do you still call it a black belt?

- It's a black belt, mm-hm.

- Okay.

- Yes.

- Royce is the only one that wears the navy blue.

The rest of us, we get a black belt with a blue bar.

- Okay, sorry.

My mistake.

- No, it's fine.

- All right.

- Yes.

- Okay.

And so you went and there's not very many women who have gone through this training or have accomplished their goal of passing the test.

- [Michelle] Yes.

- So tell me about that.

- So, yeah, I just went in and I tested and you find out a couple days later during the ceremony if you passed or not, if your name is called.

And I was awarded my black belt in October of last year and I'm the ninth woman in the world to receive a black belt under Royce Gracie.
