Team:

We'd like to take a moment to congratulate one of our students, Nathan, for achieving his yellow belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He's a leader in the Spider Monkey's class and dukes it out with the big guys in the Adult class. Always up to the challenge, Nathan is a fine young man who we're proud to have at our Academy.

His accomplishment didn't occur overnight; it took plenty of mat time and practice to earn this new rank. We're proud of you, Nathan. Keep up the hard work and positive outlook; the rewards will come on their own. It's not only true in martial arts, but in life, with any venture.

See you all on the mat!
