DUBAI BJJ NEWS:
Recently Royce has been going to the U.A.E. more frequently for seminars and private lessons. The reception there has been great, of course the U.A.E. already has a strong tradition of BJJ, but more in Abu Dhabi than in Dubai. Now Royce, who has a representative in Dubai, is proud to announce that one of his students, Sheikh Makhtoum of Dubai has been promoted to Blue Belt! Sheikh Makhtoum is a member of Dubai's Royal family.
