[usr] My son had a jiu jitsu competition a couple weeks ago. He placed third. [sys] Nice!  Was he surprised, or hoping to do better/ [usr] It was only his second competition.  He did awesome! [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a positive mood, please congratulate me and praise me.
That's great!  Which belt has he earned?
