Two New Blue Belts!!!!

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:10:08 +0000

We had two new blue belts added to the Academy this week. The first promotion was awarded to Carlos Devalle. He has worked very hard and made a number of sacrifices to put in the time necessary to deserve this belt. The next promotion to blue belt was Jeff Skubic. Jeff is currently in medical school and working towards his goal of being a doctor. He is also conducting a research study on Martial Arts injuries. This survey is part of his Med School work so we urge all students to support Jeff by taking some time out to fill out the surveys located on the front desks at both Academies. Congrats to our new blue belts and we will see you on the mat soon.
