i remember the feeling when i got my first black belt, there is literally no feeling in the world like it. especially when you know you put the time in. Congratulations from a brother from another style with the same love for the martial arts oss!
That is about the coolest thing I have seen!! That young man earned something that no amount of money could buy,and rightly so he thanked his parents before his teachers.
Truly amazing!! His reaction is soooo goooood and all his hard work had come to this... wow! Also a big high five to marcelo, for his fantastic display of humor! Congrats Gianni!
Man the jiujitsu community can be so intimate sometimes - Roy Dean, Fabio Gurgel, I watch all their videos and here they are watching Marcelo's video too, it's a pretty amazing community. I can imagine what it must feel like to reach this milestone. Awesome ceremony.
I’m going up for Blue belt soon. That alone has taken a lot. I but this guy”s achievement ? teared up on this. This gym knows how hard he has worked. You can tell. This kid is loved by his school. Awesomeness.
I like the part where he dedicated his blk belt to his training partners as well as parents and teachers and it made me think about the fact that even though I'm in karate and not yet a blk belt its thanks to the people I train with so intensely that I can grow and I'm truly thankful for that
What's wrong with that in the end it doesn't matter what martial art you do the sentiment for a blk belt is the same and its the people you train with that get you there plus I've actually trained in jiu jitsu and judo before taking up karate and I'm sure this video was meant to inspire and touch many people from many different arts so what the hell is your problem
I'm a better striker than grappler plus I want to learn knife and street defense judo and bjj don't teach that but the fact remains a blk belt in any style is hard earned and its because of those around you who you train with that help you get there
Daniel Griffith These knife and street defense things are a JOKE. You really want to fight off a knife weilding attacker. LMAO. You are parroting the same stuff as most people but I'll tell you a karate or TKD Black belt is like a blue belt in BJJ
Green Belt and has been a black belt Since 2014 and still didn't win worlds or the trials. Man people are just different but this guy is an inspiration aside from all of it. He worked hard.
I'm pretty dam sure there's a video floating about of Grippo as a brown rolling with marcello from a few short months ago, & he was giving marcello fits. It was obvious then that it was only going to be a matter of time before he was promoted to BB. OSSS
Jiu jitsu players seem like a bunch of real nice people. I remember taking some traditional martial arts classes but the format was very strict and authoritarian, doesn't seem this way with BJJ.
Ameer ali Dude, we know it; We all know he's not an actual 27 bjj champion, it's just a funny joke around the bjj community, he's a pro actor. But he's still a good grappler though, solid brown belt under edgy brah. (Eddy Bravo). Try to up your sarcasm game up a bit bro.
If Marcelo gave him a Black Belt he is a Black Belt!
spot on,this guy now represents marcelo
That’s so true. He is a blessing Marcelo
Absolutely! Incredible 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is still one of the best moments ever captured in jiu jitsu promotions.
If MG gives you a black belt, you must be a gangster on the mats
bornfedslaughter certified anywhere with an MG blackbelt
beautiful
Me consegue a bolsa pra treina ae rsrsrsrs
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet. Makes me smile everytime.
The guy in the blue gi Donkey Kong smashing the mat at :58 seconds is killing me
lmao
receiving black belt from greatest jiu jitsu guy on planet. great honor.
dang teared up a bit, dont even know the guy but the hard work he must have put in must have been astounding
Whenever I am feeling sad I just come watch this video and it makes everything better. So damn wholesome!
A black belt is a white belt who never quit.
very true
That's beautiful

Marcelo García is the man! That’s why I wear his gi.
Congrats to this student.
So cool.....

Very fortunate to have Gianni as my instructor. Great guy!
that's a legit black belt
That was an epic ceremony, what a great experience that must have been for him! Congratulations sir.
I have seen a lot of these but I have never seen one with so many people going crazy for the recipient. Must be a very righteous dude...
Thumbs up if you cried.
That is so awesome! Congrats on your Black Belt GG. MG is a great teacher, big ups to him for building such an amazing BJJ environment!!
Congratulations man! Getting a BB from master Marcelo Garcia is the real freaking deal man!! Thats awesome!! Also, that switcharoo was amazing hahaha
His reaction is compelling very compelling and one of the best
I don’t know why anyone would put a thumbs down. This is touching a man this young. Good for him.
Truly amazing!! His reaction is soooo goooood and all his hard work had come to this... wow! Also a big high five to marcelo, for his fantastic display of humor! Congrats Gianni!
The only more legit black belt you could get is from Renato Laranja.
Porra, caralho....
Sensei Renato is known to be a little moody, but you can't argue with his technical knowledge or his competition record.
HAHAHAHAHA 🙌🙌🙌
This is probably one of the dumbest comments ive ever heard
@@samuelmarquez7808 it's a joke bro... Lighten up 🤣
Marcelo is such a fun loving guy. His attitude is the best.

Easily the most emotional one yet. How insanely hype the whole school got lets you know it was well deserved!
What a proud moment! Well done!!!!!! Your hard work and persistence paid off!
Great video..I watched the beginning a few times and the speech was great too!
So inspired now!!! I need to go train!
Congrats! 🎉
Love how the room explodes when he pulls out the black belt
That must be such an awesome feeling. Good job.
that emotion when he saw the black made me teer up
love these kind of videos. Helps when you're DEEP in the weeds.
That group's reaction was awesome
Wow!!! Is all I can say... Congratulations!!!
Class act this Marcelo is.
I like the part where he dedicated his blk belt to his training partners as well as parents and teachers and it made me think about the fact that even though I'm in karate and not yet a blk belt its thanks to the people I train with so intensely that I can grow and I'm truly thankful for that
Oh man I know you didn't reference a karate black belt in this post
What's wrong with that in the end it doesn't matter what martial art you do the sentiment for a blk belt is the same and its the people you train with that get you there plus I've actually trained in jiu jitsu and judo before taking up karate and I'm sure this video was meant to inspire and touch many people from many different arts so what the hell is your problem
Daniel Griffith You left Jiu Jitsu and Judo for...Karate?
I'm a better striker than grappler plus I want to learn knife and street defense judo and bjj don't teach that but the fact remains a blk belt in any style is hard earned and its because of those around you who you train with that help you get there

What an amazing moment! Awesome!
Gianni Grippo is very good. I trained with him at the Renzo Gracie NYC when he was just a blue belt and I was just a white belt.
awesome video. Congrats to Gianni!
The only guy to ever come out happy after Marcelo took his back!!
Made me cry, congrats
Beautiful, just perfect. Congrats!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!! I wish I would of found BJJ much earlier. It would of saved me a lot of heartache and court fines. Haha
Soon I will be starting my training. In his school. Can’t wait to train and learn new stuff. About Bjj
An amazing coah attaracts amazing students. This is beautiful.
congratulations man!
Marcelo Garcia is a living legend...
Woooow who doesnt Want this moment... Nice
This video had me holding in a couple tears 😅❤️👏
That was really cool how Marcelo surprised him...
Marcelo seems so nice, kind of person you would trust to teach your kids, without letting them get hurt.
I love the little kid's face (right side) when he sees the black belt.
That was absolutely amazing.
I would cry my ASS OFF if that happens to me..
Must of watched the belt tying part, at least 10x's. Pure awesomeness.
The look on his face when Marcelo has the brown belt.
Very well congratulations!
That one kid makes me lol. His eyes get all wide when the black belt comes out.
Best promotion on the internet
seems like a good guy. way to go
Congrats!!!!! I'm just starting my journey as a white belt lol....

Congrats mr.grippo
very very cool. Congratulations.
I don't know what it is,
Bit of fluff or spec of dirt but it definitely got in my eye
Both eyes.
I'm pretty dam sure there's a video floating about of Grippo as a brown rolling with marcello from a few short months ago, & he was giving marcello fits. It was obvious then that it was only going to be a matter of time before he was promoted to BB. OSSS
Beautiful

That is fuckin awesome. Great surprise and reaction!
can someone please explain what happened here. What was the belt he though lt he was getting, a replacement brown belt?
Dane McGrath he was supposed to get another stripe. But got surprised with a black belt
Coogi King sweet, cheers man!
O mestre Marcelo tem os vídeos de promoção mais inspiradores do youtube.
Best way to get a belt ever... And it's from mg. wow.
Class...
you don't have a legit black belt unless you get it from Renato Laranja
sychophantt renato is fake
+Ameer ali porra caralho fuktch you
French Grappling Addict

Ameer ali Dude, we know it; We all know he's not an actual 27 bjj champion, it's just a funny joke around the bjj community, he's a pro actor. But he's still a good grappler though, solid brown belt under edgy brah. (Eddy Bravo). Try to up your sarcasm game up a bit bro.
***** yeah some people have 0 sense of humour, kinda sad.
Got me all emotional...
YEAHH BRO!! COGRATS!!
Nice switch. Sure caught him off guard.
RESPECT.
If you ever earned a Black belt you would know. Respect!
