A MILESTONE WORTH CELEBRATING! 

Today, we celebrate a very special achievement for one of our own — RICK SWIPE!

After years of dedication, hard work, consistency, sacrifice, and countless hours on the mats, Rick has officially earned his FIRST DEGREE BLACK BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU!

Rick has been a longtime student and an important part of our BJJ family. We've had the privilege of watching his journey, witnessing his growth, and seeing firsthand the commitment it takes to reach this level.

A black belt is never just about the belt itself. It's about the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, the setbacks endured, and the determination to keep showing up even when things get tough.

Rick, your journey is an inspiration to everyone who steps on these mats. Your achievement represents years of hard work and a true love for the art.

Congratulations, Rick Swipe, on this well-deserved accomplishment!

We're proud of you, honored to be part of your journey, and excited to see what comes next.

Once a student, always family. 

OSS!
