This match from circa 2001-2002 features a white belt level Rudy "Rudini" Fischmann. He had only won his very first match just a few minutes prior on points. Here he achieves his very first submission victory-- an armbar from reverse triangle position. This was an early glimpse of Rudini's proclivity to work for submissions from outside of the classic standard positions. This tournament was the American Nationals so it was an excellent time to hit his stride... in fact he would go on to place third! Not bad for a 30-year old competing against the young bucks. He would be promoted to Blue Belt several months later.

While his competition record as a Blue Belt was mixed before accomplishing a stunning competition record as a Purple Belt of 17-1. Fischmann would win the Senior No-Gi World Championships as a Featherweight Brown Belt and Represented the USA at the 2009 FILA World Championships in the 66kg division as a Black Belt.

This rare video (most of his matches were not taped) demonstrates how anyone can accomplish notable things with a little perseverance and hard work. Fischmann understands as well as any, the frustration of the early years of BJJ training where it seems like every one beats up on you. That's why he encourages a friendly, motivating environment in all his classes... you never know when another middle aged guy might turn out to be the next Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champ!
