Black Belt: Harkan Akpinar
I have known Harkan for a very long time. In fact, he was one of the first-starters back when no-one knew what BJJ was, I had just returned from brazil, and began teaching (as a purple belt) in Kensington (Melbourne).
Harkan has always been one of the most solid and dependable students on the mat. His dedication to training, even through some periods of serious injury, has been exceptional. Harkan now teaches classes at Fusion MMA in Melbourne, and I can only hope the students there realize how very fortunate they are in having such an experienced and thoughtful instructor looking after them.
Well done Harkan – your new rank is fully deserved – may you wear it well.
Best wishes always
JBW
