Seven years ago [2003] John Berris weighed 210 pounds at five feet and seven inches. You would hardly recognize him for the well conditioned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt he is today, at 160 pounds of lean muscle. When Dave Camarillo, head of American Kickboxing Academy, presented John with his black belt, he told John, “John Berris, you are what jiu-jitsu is all about.”
