My son and I were promoted in our respective jiu-jitsu journeys.
It took me a long time to earn my first colored belt. My love of soccer is as strong as ever and I split my time to the best of my abilities.
Westen is a force. Nine years of training has turned him into a technical, creative, and determined competitor…okay, he might have been born determined.
I was nervous about this promotion. With my insane number of interests, I never know if I’m putting enough into jiu-jitsu. However, when I attended class the next day, I felt like I might actually be a wearing the proper belt.
The new rank is inspiring me to find more time to train. There are higher expectations for a blue belt and I want to step up to the challenge.
We also got to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Elevated Studios. Renee and Stephen have been supportive as martial artists, friends, homeschoolers, business owners, and many other ways. We are deeply grateful for the atmosphere of learning they have built at Elevated.
