Andy Lally (Brown) Tim Leslie (Purple) Liv Grace (Blue) Koji Tada (Adv. White)

Fun night and huge congratulations on the ranks received tonight. First up,   Andy Lally moving to Brown Belt! Andy has been super dedicated these past 9 years and always trains hard and getting extra rolls at the end of class. As I said tonight, the only time he isn't here is when he is out racing and winning in the sport car road racing series. A man of many talents and jiujitsu is definitely one of them. It was truly a pleasure to award him his brown belt tonight! So proud!!   Timothy Leslie next received his purple belt tonight. Tim has also been very very dedicated to his training. He is ALWAYS on the mat training whether it is here or in Colorado he finds the time for his BJJ no matter how hectic his schedule is. Coming off a gold medal at the Europeans a few weeks ago, 2 gold medals at the Atlanta Open (weight and open division) as well as taking the gold at the World Masters IBJJF championships it was time to bring him to the next level. I can't wait to see his success now at the purple belt level. Liv Grace moves to blue belt. Liv has been with us a little over a year now coming from another academy where she trained BJJ. She took her demonstration of techniques test today and got a perfect score. Well done Liv, we are super proud of you. Keep up the amazing work.  Koji Tada was our final rank tonight. Koji received his junior advanced white belt. Koji just recently started training with us and is doing a fabulous job. I love seeing how our kid's and teenagers improve each week and eventually become beasts on the mat!!  Truly a pleasure to rank each of you tonight and I look forward to one day placing your next belt around your waists. :0)
