Promotion Night

It was the biggest night of promotions we've ever had.

Generally, in Jiu-Jitsu, only one person ever receives a new belt or a stripe on any given day. The only exception to this was back in early March, when three stripes were awarded on one evening.

Tonight, four stripes were given out. Three people received their first, and Scott picked up his second.

We now have 3 Blue Belts without stripes, 5 with one stripe, and 2 with two.

Having a stripe on a Gracie Blue Belt is about the equivalent of receiving a Brown Belt in an art like Karate. Having two stripes is just a tad short of being equivalent to a Karate Black Belt.

These promotions are a very big deal.
