"I'm a second-degree black belt. In '99 I won the California state championship. In 2000 and 2001 I got the award for outstanding judoka / middle California, which means I went to all of the tournaments and then I competed with the Fresno State judo team for a while. Once I got into Jiu-Jitsu, In my weight division I've won the US national tournament 4 years in a row. I just went to the Pan-Am Championships at Cal State Dominguez a month ago, and I got 2nd, I lost in the finals by one point. That's been the biggest tournament so far, the Pan Am. Last year I got 3rd and the Pan Ams, a couple of years ago I got 2nd again. I won the Copa Pacifica in Huntington a couple of months ago" Knox
