Adult Belting - September 2019 | 12 Level-Up

Adult Belting - September 2019 | 12 Level-Up

HUGE congrats to the 12 athletes that leveled-up on Tuesday, September 24, 2019.

Five Rings is a place where people strive to grow and develop into the best grapplers (and people) they can be. These folks have put in consistent time, effort, sweat, and work to grow their games and evolve. It was a super night with over 50 people in the room to help welcome these athletes to the next chapter in their Jiu Jitsu Journey.

  • Black belts - Will Acton and Justin Eyre
  • Brown belts - Isa Bruno and Louisa Bruschi
  • Purple belts - Marcelino Garza, Aaron Light, and Josh Roy
  • Blue belts - Cody Bartol, Taylor Carson, Cole Killion, Paula Gore, and Pip Santos

A special acknowledgement / shout-out to Coach Justin and Coach Kristy as they are leaving for Thailand next week. You've both been such a positive part of the Five Rings community. We all wish your the very best and safe travels. Your presences at Five Rings will be greatly missed.

These folks' success should serve as everyone's inspiration ... the secret at getting good at Jiu Jitsu - keep training, have fun, enjoy the journey, be patient, and don't stop.

Check out a video that Tyler Colson capture of the night's events ... it's very inspiring and captures the positive energy and camaraderie in the room:   HERE

Everyone's success is our inspiration and it give us permission to keep achieving too!  BRAVO! ! !

Do. Daily. Forever! ! !  :-)

 

P.S. - In continuation of last week's promotions, two more for two athletes that were out of town. Extremely well deserved brown belts for Alan Barthold and Crayton Berner. Keep doing gentlemen, keep doing! ! ! ;-)

I have done nothing but lose since joining Five Rings- as in lost 6 inches off my waist and nearly 40 lbs off my gut. I started with Five Rings a year and a half ago as a 43 year old, out of shape, frustrated ex-athlete and it has been an incredible journey for me since. The Professors and coaches create a great atmosphere whether you are in it for fitness or "joy-jitsu" or looking to compete and excel. I cannot recommend Five Rings enough!

I once heard an analogy that if one inadvertently falls into water, their go-to would be to swim or to float to survive, if - they knew how. Likewise if someone takes you to the ground against your will, knowing BJJ is just what may save you. So with that, I like the thought of maybe one day that my daughters can get themselves out of a situation by having that skill. Whether 5 years from now or 20, because they were able to swim to safety or thwarted an attack by knowing how to defend themself that took just seconds to execute, all these hours driving them to swim & BJJ class will all be worth it. As for myself, I joined Five Rings when I enrolled my kiddo earlier this year.  It was a why-the-heck-not moment. :)  So here I am seven months into training at 48 years old, my only regret is why I didn't start sooner.  It's tough on the body, but I've never felt more fit in my life and is mad rewarding. Especially with seeing my progress from just a few months ago, it's exciting to know you only get better. I love the academy and the familial feel of the large group of regulars here who are loyal, train hard, and enjoy doing it. So on this Thanksgiving, a big thanks to all the 5RJJ professors & coaches & training partners!  You guys truly make me better after each class & open mat.

The environment at 5rings is one that promotes a positive learning culture. As an owner of another martial arts school in the area, I've seen a lot of different schools and methods for teaching - and by far, 5rings does an amazing job. I highly recommend for adults and children of all skill levels. Keep up the great work 5rings!
