Blue belt promotion! Ryan has been a diligent practitioner for the past several years but was sidelined with an injury that forced him to sit out for an extended period at time. As soon as he had recovered he was back on the mats and training consistently. We are proud to have him at the academy to promote him to Blue belt! Keep up the good work, Ryan!

It’s great to see students achieve the next level of challenge in the form of a belt promotion in jiujitsu. Although Ryan was out with an injury and surgery, he was always connected to the academy and found a way back into the dojo. Even though he wasn’t training it never felt like he was away. He’s a great example what what to do when you are injured and unable to train the way everyone else is.

We’re looking forward to seeing him continue to train and make an impact on those who might find themselves injured or down and out from not being able to fully train like everyone else.
