Yesterday, during our holiday roll, I was excited to promote JC to the rank of solid grey belt. JC was my first hybrid student as he started with our kids program but had a huge growth spurt and I had to move him to the adult program were as usual is very hard in the beginning for them but once they grow into the program they take off ! JC is also our first solid grey belt !

PS - proud coach moment when he made his competitors at his tournament tap from pressure 🙂

I tell my students often times that the impromptu tournament competitions are often well suited for people.... These two brothers (Nick and KJ) decided to jump into a local NAGA tournament and both did amazing ! Nick had some really tough matches and was able to take silver in a group of 8 kids. KJ went out there on his first competition and took first and earning the NAGA belt. KJ is our schools first competitor to bring home a belt 💪🏽

So proud today to be able to promote Dan to the rank of blue belt in jiu jitsu. Dan started training jiu jitsu after having his kids do it. He also competed when his kids decided to compete. Always setting a great example to his two little ones, and I am also fortunate to have him as an assistant coach to our little kids program. Last but not least, now we can all feel a tad bit better getting that work from Dan that he has some color around his waist 🤣

Jess and Justin first time coaching the kids at a tournament, and Jess was able to coach both Dylan and Lucas to gold. Justin coached Todd to gold and Madden to silver.

Both of them were able to show the kids poise and give them the help and confidence to give it their best. More importantly, Jess and Justin gave their hearts out to them and it`s an experience that I am certain that they and the kids will never forget !
